function status = MakeDir(BaseDir,NewDir)
%MakeDir: Makes the subdiretory NewDir in BaseDir if it doesn't already exist.
%
% USAGE:
%
%       status = MakeDir(BaseDir,NewDir)

% where BaseDir is the full path to the directory where NewDir should be created. If the directory exists
% then MakeDir returns 1, otherwise it attempts to create the directory. If successful in creating the NewDir
% directory, MakeDir returns 1, otherwise it returns 0.
%
% REQUIRED INPUTS: BaseDir (string) with full path (e.g. c:\code\yada)
%
%                  NewDir (string) with name of subdirectory (e.g. new-dir)
%
