[Kst] Re: branches/work/kst/portto4/kst/src/d2asc

[Barth Netterfield]

I agree that it is useful, and that we should resurrect it.  I has been
broken for a very long time, as no one has looked at it.  I am not aware of
it ever working for kst2, but maybe it has.  However, it might be easy to
fix, once someone tries to fix it.  We haven't been using it since the
getdata team (ie, Don and Matt) has started shipping a dirfile2asc utility
which does what we need as well, but only for dirfiles.

I wrote 'export vectors to disk' on one of my 'Days off' on the Ice.  As far
as I can tell, it works fine.
