If you would want to use BYTSCL, but you are not allowed to use
the built-in function, then you can just code up your own scaling.
To scale (= multiply) an array by a certain factor (e.g.,
MyFactor=2):
MyArray = MyArray * MyFactor
To substract (or add) any offsets:
MyArray = MyArray - MyOffset
To limit (clip) the array values to a certain range:
MyArray = MyMinRange < MyArray < MyMaxRange
MIN() or MAX() can be used to find the original range of the
array. You could determine the factor and offset you want to use
from them.

It should be possible to code up something sensible in just a few
lines. Beware of possible overflow, if you are in byte type then
things can easily get >255. So I guess it does make for some good
programming exercise...

cheers,
Jaco
