U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WATER-RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS REPORT 93-4076 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY HYDRO-CLIMATIC DATA NETWORK (HCDN) STREAMFLOW CD-ROM [This is the \READ_ME.MAC file] The ASCII files on this CD-ROM were created on a PC. Because of this, each line of text in a file on the CD-ROM ends with the pair of characters carriage return and line feed (octal 015 012, decimal 13 10, or hexadecimal 0D 0A). On a Macintosh, each line of text ends with just a carriage return character. As a result, the extraneous line feed is the first "character" of each line starting with the second line. It is typically displayed on the screen as an open block. Copy ASCII files to hard disk from the CD-ROM with Apple File Exchange using the MS-DOS to MAC filter to get rid of the unnecessary line feed characters.
