File Processing and Quality Control

Title: Epi info, version 5.01 / program design by Andrew G. Dean ... [et al.] ; programming by Jeffrey A. Dean, Andrew G. Dean, and Karl A. Brendel ; manual by Andrew G. Dean

Original diskette files: All diskettes were mounted on a 5 1/4" drive of a Windows 98 PC and the diskette files were copied to the PC hard drive. To preserve the original file content, all files were transferred to a UNIX server in binary format and retain their original time and date stamps.

Processed documentation file: The original DOS ASCII documentation file README was examined with Perl "cio" (check-it-out) to identify extraneous control and high ASCII characters. A substitute control code (octal 32) was replaced with a blank using Perl "fix". DOS carriage returns (octal 15) were removed with UNIX "tr". The "fixed" file was saved with a .TXT file extension.
