@BeginDescription
This module computes statistical values for a selected number of time steps.
According to the chosen operator the minimum, maximum, sum, average,
variance or standard deviation of the selected time steps is written to @file{ofile}.
The date information of a time step in @file{ofile} is the date of the last 
contributing time step in @file{ifile}.

@BeginParameter noffset
@Item = nsets
INTEGER  Number of input time steps for each output time step
@Item = noffset
INTEGER  Number of input time steps skipped before the first time step range (optional)

@BeginExample
Assume an input dataset has monthly means over several years.
To compute seasonal means from monthly means the first two
month have to be skipped:
