Hi all, it's me again...

Part two of my on going problem is that I need to be able to convert the
BDAT files I get from BASIC into ASCII.  I don't care if I have to do the 
conversion under BASIC or HP-UX (though HP-UX would be nice).  Any 
suggestions???

The idea is to convert the stuff to ASCII, load it onto a VMS machine, 
convert the ASCII into a table that can be read by RS/1 (a statistical 
package) by BBN, and finally, read the stuff into RS/1 and get meaningful
results from it.

For whatever reason this whole project is mine, even though I only have a
passing knowledge of VMS, only just began to use HP-UX, and have never used
HP BASIC or BBN's RS/1.  But hey, it's a learning experience, right? :-)

My great appreciation to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Bob
