+   Usage: python sbd2asc.py glidername filetype
+
+   Inputs:
+     glidername [ramses | pelagia]
+     filetype [sbd | tbd | dbd | ...]
+
+      input path
+         /home/localuser/realtime/{glider}/{filetype}/*.{filetype}
+      output path

+
+   Example usage:   python dbd2asc.py ramses sbd
+         /home/localuser/realtime/ramses/sbd/*.sbd
