SECS.TXT

This map format was requested by a customer as an output -- however we have no information as to what software system or equipment reads and writes it. Since many of the parameters seem similar to what we might find in a SECS Binary file we are calling it SECS.TXT.

If you recognize this format and know what machine it is associated with please contact me Steve Dibratolomeo.

The MAP Section

This section appears straightforward. The section begins with the keyword START. The section is closed with the keyword END.

For each row there is a single line of bin codes. They are single character with no spaces between characters. The allowed range of characters are 0-9 and .
