| 20 | <P>When getting ASCII files from the GEISA server, please note that there |
|---|
| 21 | are some features concerning their use on PC compatibles and on UNIX workstations. |
|---|
| 22 | <BR> |
|---|
| 23 | ASCII files are a set of text lines ending with the end of line symbol |
|---|
| 24 | EOL. However, UNIX EOL symbol occupies <I>two bytes</I> whereas that of |
|---|
| 25 | PC occupies <I>one byte</I>. <BR> |
|---|
| 26 | <B>All ASCII files available from this server are UNIX format files</B>. |
|---|
| 27 | To be used on PC, they should be converted into the appropriate format: |
|---|
| 28 | the simplest way is to put them on a UNIX work station and then make a |
|---|
| 29 | ftp transfer on a PC. The same method can be used for the GEISA-97 database |
|---|
| 30 | file (*.gz): one should transfer it from the GEISA server to a work station, |
|---|
| 31 | decompress it by the "gzip -d" command, and then transfer the |
|---|
| 32 | decompressed file to a PC.<BR> |
