• bipad.g Bivariate padding routine
• blibound.g Bivariate interpolation which can handle target points out of range of data
• cartmat.g Create 2-column cartesian grid matrix
• cartmatx.g Create cartesian grid using data limits
• daydiff.g Count # of days between dates
• dayf.g Return day of month from yymmdd date
• fappend.gCreate new file which appends 1 file onto another.
