Introduction

LOCDUMP allows LOC files to be viewed as ASCII. Lynx LOC files cannot usually be viewed in standard text editors, because the records have no delimiters. This program formats the file for viewing as if is was a regular MS-DOS text file. LOCDUMP does not allow you to edit the data within a LOC file. Use LOCPREP to do this.

Parameters

File Type - select from

• DOS ASCII - standard MS-DOS ASCII text file with CR-LF line delimiters
• UNIX ASCII - standard UNIX ASCII text file with LF line delimiters
• Delimiter Character - custom line delimiter character (not implemented)
• Fixed Length Line - standard Lynx LOC file

Delimiter (hex code) - for custom line delimiters (above), enter the hex-code of the byte sequence to use as a line-delimiter (not implemented)

Line Length - for fixed length records (above) specify the length of each line in bytes. For Lynx LOC files this is 80 bytes.
