Oh, well, then.

What BYTSCL does is take the data, finds the minimum
and maximum of the data, then linearly maps the min
and max to 0 and 255. This is the scaling function.
Then, it adds a translation to the scaled vector, so
that the minimum value is set to zero. Then, it converts
the whole thing to BYTE type.

You are right, the whole thing can be done in 4-5 lines. :-)

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say that if you poked around in the
on-line libraries for a couple of minutes, you would
probably find something that did this sort of thing
for you. :-)
