Title:
State energy data system [electronic resource] : (SEDS)
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 was
examined with Perl "cio" (check-it-out) to identify extraneous control and
high ASCII characters. Form feeds (octal 14) and the substitute control
code (octal 32) were 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.
Processed data files: The original DOS ASCII CSV data files were examined
with Perl "cio"(check-it-out) to identify extraneous control and high ASCII
characters. The 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" files were saved with .CSV data file extensions.
You can view the
1992 "cio" output for the original ASCII
diskette files.
Processed data tables: The Lotus data tables cannot be converted because
they contain embedded Lotus macros that cannot be used by other spreadsheet
software.
