Data files for DEEDPLT are simple sequential files. They may be read with any
text reader, even TYPE. They may be edited with any text editor.
An extension is automatically appended to your filename. The default extension
is .PLT, but this can be changed thru <PARAMTRS>. I strongly suggest that you
keep everything (DEEDPLT, all help files, and your data) on the same floppy
and\or hard drive subdirectory. I gave up trying to write code to support
drives & subdirectories under QuickBASIC.
The file format is 4 lines for each station as follows:
To, From, Direction (in degrees), Distance (in feet)
Original numeric Data
NorthIncrement, EastInc, NorthSum, EastSum (in feet)
Remark
The 0th station is a header
Access to the entire text files is thru <CONTENTS>.
