The Load Flat Binary File Product Selection Widget

Description:  This procedure loads 2-dimensional data from any binary flat file and makes the data available for display.  Binary data types supported are byte, short-integer, long-integer, floating-point and double-precision.  A header may be skipped before starting to read data.

Note:  There is no hard-coded limit to the number of files loaded into memory at one time.  The only limit is the memory limit of your machine.
