History
Version 1, William Thompson, GSFC/CDS (ARC), 1 June 1994
Version 2, William Thompson, GSFC/CDS (ARC), 15 September 1995
Fixed bug where only the first element in a
multidimensional array was converted.
Version 3, Richard Schwartz, GSFC/SDAC, 23 August 1996
Allow 2 dimensional byte arrays for entries to facilitate
multiple entry processing. Pass IDLTYPE onto IEEE_TO_HOST
Version 4, 2 May 2003, W. Thompson
Use BSWAP keyword to DBXVAL instead of calling IEEE_TO_HOST.
Version 4.1 W. Landsman August 2010 Fix for multidimensional strings
Version 4.2 W. Landsman Sep 2011 Work with new DB format
