File Processing and Quality Control

Title: Oil market simulation model (OMS) [electronic resource]

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), and the substitute control code (octal 32) were replaced with a blank using Perl "fix". DOS carriage return characters (octal 15) were removed with UNIX "tr". The "fixed" files were saved with .TXT file extensions.

The DOC*.PRN files were concatenated with Unix "cat". The resulting ALLDOC file was saved with a .TXT file extension.

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

Processed data tables: The Lotus 123 file cannot be converted because the file contains macros that cannot be read by other spreadsheet software.
