*EXAMPLE.DIP (or LOTUS equivalent EXAMPLE.WK1) for DIPS 4.0
*Comments are permitted in the data file if * is the first character.

*Blank lines are ignored by program
*
*The first two lines are project titles;
*these will appear on the top and bottom of hard copy plots:

 PROJECT IDENTIFICATION
 DATA COLLECTOR         DATE

*The next line gives the number of traverse identifiers;
*Traverses are used in the program for bias correction (Terzaghi).
*If no traverse data is available or if no correction desired (program
*calculates both corrected and uncorrected values if traverses are
*specified) specify 0 traverses in the next line. This "turns off"
*the otherwise mandatory TRAVERSE column in the data file (below).
*If # of traverses =0 then do not include this column.
*If # of traverses >0 this column must be present and contain reference
*to specifed traverse numbers. The Traverse Column must be the FIFTH column,
*if there is a Quantity Column (see below), or the FOURTH column,
*if NO Quantity column is present.

 4 Traverses (note that only the numeric character is read,

*              Comments are permitted on the same line.)

*The next lines contain traverse information in the form;
*
*traverse ID#;trav.orient.flag[optional];type;orient1;orient2;orient3(if type=BOREHOLE);title
*
*NOTE semi colons separating items in the string.
*Traverse ID# is an integer identifier
*
*The OPTIONAL "trav. orientation flag" can be used if data on this traverse
*is measured with a different orientation type than the GLOBAL type
*(see `GLOBAL orientation flag' below). The entries for this flag are the
*same as for the GLOBAL orientation flag. If the "trav.orient flag" is not
*required, simply ignore it. DO NOT LEAVE A BLANK space between semicolon
*separators. See DIPS manual (chapter 1 of reference section) for more details.
*
*Traverse types are LINEAR, PLANAR, BOREHOLE
*LINEAR ->  Linear scanline survey
*             where:  orientation1 = trend of scanline
*                     orientation2 = plunge of scanline
*PLANAR ->  Planar 'window' survey (2 - dimensional)
*             where:  orientation 1 and 2 correspond to planar data
*                     type specified by the 'global orientation flag'
*                     (ie. if flag = DIP/DIPDIRECTION, then:
*                                            orientation1 =dip of
*                                                        survey plane
*                                            orientation2 =dip direction
*                                                        survey plane
*BOREHOLE -> oriented core measurements
*              where: orientation1, orientation2 and orientation3 are
*                     required -- see DIPS manual for details

*Note that the optional "trav.orientation flag" DIP/DIPDIRECTION has been
*used in line 4 above.
*
*The next line is the 'GLOBAL orientation flag' , choices are;
*DIP/DIPDIRECTION (of plane)
*TREND/PLUNGE (of pole to plane or of linear structure)
*STRIKE/DIPL  (of plane - left hand rule)
*STRIKE/DIPR  (of plane - right hand rule)
*The two orientation columns must be in order consistent with this flag.

 STRIKE/DIPR

*The next line is for magnetic declination
*(This number is ADDED to strike or dip)
*positive value refers to west declination,
*negative value to east declination.

 -5.5  degrees (east) (note comment permitted after data)

*This next line is a flag for a quantity column in the data list;
*This lets you specify multiple data units with the same measurements.
*Choices are
*     QUANTITY    or    NO QUANTITY         (note single space).
*If the flag is QUANTITY, then the 'quantity' column must be present.
*If the flag is NO QUANTITY do not include a 'quantity' column.
*If a 'quantity' column is present, it must always be the FOURTH data
*column, AFTER the first three mandatory columns (see below).

 QUANTITY

*This data line specifies number of additional columns (up to 35)
*of data to be used for data selection and later analysis.
*Column entries may be either numeric (measurements) or alphanumeric.
*When SELECTING or TRACKING data the program will ask if the
*data is quantitative(numeric) or qualitative(alphanumeric).
*Be sure to use only one or the other in a given column.

 3 extra data columns

*The next line is the header containing data titles;
*the first three are compulsory, the next two, quantity and traverse,
*can be switched off as described above.
*The order of the first 3 mandatory columns and the 4th (Quantity) and
*5th (Traverse) if present, MUST BE AS FOLLOWS:
* data number ; orientation 1; orientation 2 ; quantity ; traverse # ;
*Extra data columns FOLLOW these mandatory columns.
*NOTE mandatory semicolon (;) after each column title...
*Data title PLUS trailing semicolon specifies column width.
*Maximum column width is 18 characters but column titles and
*data labels (excluding leading and trailing spaces) less than 13
*characters are suggested for complete output in program.

*The data must be completed with an END OF FILE MARKER of -1
*in the FIRST column:

      -1

*All information after the -1 flag will be ignored.

*Files created with an ascii editor are now ready to use
*ALL DIPS DATA FILES MUST HAVE A  *.DIP  EXTENSION
*
*If using LOTUS 123 or equivalent
*        Save .wk1 file using FILE -> SAVE.
*        Then use PRINT -> to FILE
*        Give print FILE NAME with a *.dip extension
*        Set 'print' RANGE to include all of file
*        Set left margin (OPTIONS) to 0, and right margin to extend past
*        the last data column. (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT)
*        and then ->GO to create file (*.dip)
*         (123 will insert page breaks in the file. This will not
*        affect DIPS).
*        If you are using a more advanced spreadsheet package
*        you will have to experiment in order to output a file
*        correctly. Check the DIPS manual and the Spreadsheet manual.
*
*Files (*.dip) can be easily edited with any editor
