; FUNCTION: dummy = cdf_save_vars(cdf_structure,new_cdf_name)
; PURPOSE:  To dump data and metadata from an IDL structure into a CDF file.
;		The structure format is the structure produced by cdf_load_vars.pro
; INPUTS:   cdf_structure : IDL structure defined by cdf_load_vars.pro
;	    new_cdf_name  : a string to name the new CDF file with
; OUTPUTS:  CDF file named by the new_cdf_name input
; EXAMPLE:  dummy = cdf_save_vars(cdfi,'newcdf.cdf')
;
; Written by: Matt Davis  
;
;Note: To use this routine you must have the CDF_EPOCH/CDF_EPOCH16 bug patch on your IDL6.3
;and if you are using Solaris you need to be in 32-bit mode NOT 64-bit (ie, idl -32)
