SPACER_DATA_CONVERT
Write a data file for SPACER


SPACER_DATA_CONVERT is a FORTRAN77 program which takes a simple file of object names and distances, and writes out a data file suitable for input with SPACER.

The input file is very simple. The first line lists N, the number of objects. The next line lists the name of object #1, and the N "distances" to the other objects (including itself). Similar lines follow for objects 2 through N. Spaces are used to separate the data.

Example of a legal input file to SPACER_DATA_CONVERT:

       5
       London            0.0  125.0  250.0   75.0  450.0
       Manchester      125.0    0.0   83.0  327.0  154.0
       Dunwich         250.0   83.0    0.0  223.0  243.0
       East-Grinstead   75.0  327.0  223.0    0.0   93.0
       Burnt-Norton    450.0  154.0  243.0   93.0    0.0

spacer_data_convert input output
