 NAME: cdf_set_cdf27
 SYNTAX: 
   cdf_set_cdf27 [, /yes | /no]
 PURPOSE:
   Call CDF_SET_CDF27_BACKWARD_COMPATIBLE but don't bomb unnecessarily when
   run on an (unpatched) pre-IDL 6.3, pre-CDF 3.1 installation of IDL.

NAME:  cdf_var_atts
FUNCTION:   cdf_var_atts(id [,varname[,attname]])
PURPOSE:
  Returns a structure that contains the attributes of a variable within
  a CDF file. If attname is provided then it returns the value of that attribute.
KEYWORDS:
  DEFAULT: The default value of the attribute.

INPUT:
   id:   CDF file ID or filename.

NAME:
  make_cdf_index
PROCEDURE:
  make_cdf_index,  [pattern]
PURPOSE:
  Creates an index file for CDF files.
  The index file will have one line for each CDF file found.
  Each line contains the start time, end time and filename
  with the following format:
YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss  YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss   fullpathname.cdf
  CDF files may be distributed over many directories or disks.

INPUT:
  pattern:  (string) file pattern, default is:  '*.cdf'
KEYWORDS:
  DATA_DIREC  (string) data directory(s) 
  INDEX_FILENAME:  (string) Name of index file to be created.
  NO_DUPLICATES:   Set to 1 if duplicate days are to be ignored.
