% Function [tlist] = rdnctiles_bytile(fall,vit, dlev)
%
% INPUTS
%   fall   cell array of file names
%   vit    struct containing variable and time information
%            vit.tdname : "time" dim name (DEF: 'T')
%            vit.tdname : "time" coord var name (DEF: 'iter')
%            vit.vars.(vname) : "time" values for each var
%
%   dlev   debug level
%
% OUTPUTS
%   tlist  struct array of tile data
%
%
%  This function has minimal input checking since it is meant to be
%  called by a wrapper function that ensures proper inputs.
