File Processing and Quality Control

Title: Oak Ridge uranium market model [electronic resource] : ORUMM

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 files: The original DOS ASCII documentation was examined with Perl "cio" (check-it-out) to identify extraneous control and high ASCII characters. Form feeds (octal 14), nulls (octal 0) 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" files were saved with .TXT file extensions.

You can view the 1991 and 1992 "cio" output for the original ASCII diskette documentation files.
