LFOR FILE N1 N2 MODE -- Loads foreign MOLLY format spectra (i.e. written
under different operating systems). This is done by
reading the file in byte by byte followed by appropriate
byte swapping operations and therefore can be slow.
Once you have read the data, dump it out into a local
format file with WRITE. The file could have been
ftp-ed over in binary mode or retrieved from a backup
or tar tape.
Parameters:
FILE -- Name of file to read from.
N1 -- Slot number to read first spectrum into. 'A' to indicate that
the first spectrum is loaded into the first empty slot (but be
careful!)
N2 -- Slot number to read last spectrum into. If you have used option
'A' then N2 = number of spectra to load
MODE -- 1 = VMS ---> ULTRIX, OSF (Decstations, alphas)
2 = ULTRIX, OSF ---> SUN (Solaris, maybe SUNos)
and SUN ---> ULTRIX, OSF
3 = VMS ---> SUN (Solaris, maybe SUNos)
NB Option 2 only involves swapping bytes and is reversible.
