environment,
they
must conform to the
MOOS
format
ror
ASCII record files
(section 24.3).
Most important is the

Next,
in
importance
is
the
end-of-file
indicator.
The

or
generate
a
timeout
condition
(section of erased or blank

If
binary records are to be copied, then the file format
mode must be used.

always
be

the
ASClI-converted-binary
format.
The
