There is no restriction on the characters to use, but just don't have both 'endcover' and a slash on the same line until you are really done. The space would be used for special instructions to stations that are normally manned and is meant to take the place of the separate files often provided by PI's. endcover / ! ! ========================================================== ! ============== Correlator Information ================== ! ========================================================== correl = 'Socorro' coravg = 4 corchan = 16 cornant = 19 corpol = 'on' corwtfn = 'uniform' corsrcs = 'standard' cortape = DAT corship1 = 'Craig Walker' corship2 = 'P.
