 BBLIST converts the binary data from our Broadband Acoustic Doppler Current
 Profiler (BBADCP) into ASCII text.  You can then use this data in programs
 that support the ASCII format.  Command syntax:

         BBLIST [drive:][path][filename.ext] [/C] [/M] [/+] [/50] [?]

  drive:       = drive containing BBADCP binary data files
  path         = DOS directory path to BBADCP binary data files
  filename.ext = file name and extension of BBADCP binary data file to load
  /C           = use color screens
  /M           = use monochrome screens
  /+           = force decoding of ensembles with bad checksum
  /50          = use 50-line/43-line video mode
  ?            = list command syntax

BBLIST.TXT    This file - May have last-minute information about program
              changes that are not yet in the user's manual (BBLIST.DOC).

BBLIST.EXE    Executable program.  Read BBLIST.DOC for complete description.

BBBATCH.EXE   Executable program that automatically converts a named binary
              data set to a named ASCII data set using an existing format
              file.  Use this program to convert binary files unattended using
              a DOS batch file.  Briefly, the syntax for BBBATCH is:

                     BBBATCH BinaryFileName FormatFileName AsciiFileName

                     BinaryFileName = name of the binary data set to use
                     FormatFileName = name of the format file to use
                     AsciiFileName  = name of the ASCII file to create

              Running BBBATCH without any parameters displays the command
              syntax.

BBLIST.DOC    User manual/help file - You can print this file from DOS using
              "COPY BBLIST.DOC PRN".  It also serves as the on-line help text
              by pressing F1 from within the program.  We suggest you read
              this manual to learn more about BBLIST's features.  This file
              is not required if your computer has limited disk/memory space.

BBDATA.000    Sample binary data files - Use these files to try BBLIST.

V 3.10 CHANGES
--------------
- Program can handle changing bin size (new water track mode 6).
- ASCII file size does not have to be limited (enter 0 for maximum file size).
- ADCP setup screen was "activated" - it is possible to advance to next 
  ensemble from this screen.
- "Fwd Stbd" was changed to "Stbd Fwd" in velocity description for data
  collected in ship coordinate system.
- Velocity data below the bottom can be mark "bad".
- Maximum length of the line in ASCII file is extended from 256 to 1024.

V 3.11 CHANGES
--------------
- Fixed resolution of some displayed depths (when "meters" were selected).
- Added bottom track mode to BT Setup screen.
- Changed behavior of ADCP Setup screen - after screen is selected the cursor
  stays now in the bottom screen.

V 3.12 CHANGES
--------------
- Added display for pressure and pressure standard deviation (for additional
  data in the leader).
- Fixed file size display for files greater than 10 MB.
- Fixed magnetic variation saved in *.rpt file; was off by 100.
- ADCP up/down orientation changes during deployment are now detected; transformation matrixes and displays are now reinitialized.
- "Julian day" is now called "Decimal day" to lessen confusion.
- Added BT depth display (defined as BT range plus ADCP depth).
- Fixed Borland Compiler problem for Pentium II processors.

V 3.14 CHANGES
--------------
- Fixed depth MSB in bottom track structure.
- Fixed display of the BT Depth.
- Fixed problem with binary files with extensions bigger than 499.

V 3.15 CHANGES
--------------
- Added support for ensembles with more than 128 bins.
- Added support for ensembles with changing size.
- Added support for long ensembles (engineering purpose).
- Fixed problem with depth MSB.
