SeaDAS 4.9 l2bin FLAGUSE problem (FIXED)

The initial release of SeaDAS 4.9 had a bug that resulted in the FLAGUSE parameter of l2bin having the same value no matter what you specified. This problem has been fixed as of 2:20PM EST 3/7/06. To correct the problem, please re-download and install the seadas_idl_rt.tar.gz file if you are using embedded IDL, or the file l2bin.pro in the update01 directory on the ftp site, if you are using your own IDL installation. For the latter instance, place the l2bin.pro file in your $SEADAS/idl_lib and $SEADAS/src/c_procs/l2bin directories.

This fix requires you to know what flags to set when processing MODIS SST products:

SST(day) products: FLAGUSE='LAND,HISOLZ'
SST(night) products: FLAGUSE='LAND,~HISOLZ'
SST4(night) products: FLAGUSE='LAND,~HISOLZ'

If you are trying to bin other products(like chlor_a) along with SST products, you should probably bin them separately from SST products, so that there are no conflicts with the FLAGUSE parameter.
