Input File Layout
Contents
An easy way to learn how to lay out an input text file is to browse through the text files supplied with Solar Maps. These are in the INTERPS subdirectory of Solar Maps. The main input file is named "MAPS.DEF". This file contains a number of #include directives which point to a number of other *.txt files in the same directory.
Input files must be sequential ASCII text files. If you are editing your file from WordPerfect, for example, then you must choose to save your files as "ASCII Text (DOS)".
In any input file there are four types of lines which may legally appear. These are comment lines, directive lines, keyword lines and text lines.
