%
% Revision 1.10  1998/11/05 16:01:57  root
% Changed LonVector and LatVector to be used if no Lon returned and tried the update function.
% DataScale and DataNull should now be optional!
%
% Revision 1.4  1998/09/14 01:32:58  dbyrne
% Elminated an inconsistency whereby the depth variable was not scaled
% and had no DataNull etc.  Added check for empty variables to plotscript.m
%
% Revision 1.9  1998/09/13 19:21:25  root
% Eliminated an inconsistency in DataScale, DataRange, and DataNull, that
% Depth was not included!
%
% Revision 1.8  1998/09/11 18:05:17  dbyrne
% undid latitude range swap!
%
% Revision 1.7  1998/09/11 08:16:10  dbyrne
% Longitude ranges were messed up in every archive.m file except the
% two I wrote myself.  To eliminate future confusion, 'LLon' 'Llat',
% 'Rlon' and 'Ulat' etc are being eliminated in favor of two-component
% vectors LonRange LatRange TimeRange DepthRange.
%
% Revision 1.6  1998/09/09 20:12:18  dbyrne
% Changing variable names to stay within 14 characters.
%
% Revision 1.5  1998/09/09 16:10:29  dbyrne
% Fixed numerous small bugs.
%
% Revision 1.4  1998/09/09 07:57:39  dbyrne
% replaced Data_Scale with DataScale, Data_Null with DataNull, and Data_Range
% with DataRange for consistency with other variables in the archive.m files.
%
% Revision 1.3  1998/09/09 07:40:24  dbyrne
% Replaced getrectangular with getrectg
%
% Revision 1.2  1998/09/09 07:34:24  dbyrne
% Eliminating ReturnedVariables
