The archive M-file is a Matlab program that sets a number of variables describing various aspects of some dataset. In order for the browser to display the geographic and temporal bounds of a dataset, they must be specified in this file.
Many archive M-files exist in the DATASETS directory. If your dataset
resembles (in data structure) one of the datasets already in the OPeNDAP Matlab GUI
dataset collection, it may be Can't exec program: /usr/local/bin/giftext.pl
simplest to copy the corresponding archive
M-file and modify it (and its corresponding getxxx function) to
suit the new dataset. For example, the Reynolds Weekly Sea Surface
Temperature data are stored in a single file, containing a global
one-degree grid of temperature for each week covered. If your data are
stored as a similar grid, it will likely be easier to copy the
Reynolds M-files and adapt them than to write new ones from scratch.
