Description

Type commandUserData('xxx') to convert a user-supplied data file 'xxx.dat' to AUTO format. The converted file is called 's.dat'. The original file is left unchanged. AUTO automatically sets the period in PAR(10). Other parameter values must be set in 'stpnt'. (When necessary, PAR(10) may also be redefined there.) The constants-file file 'c.xxx' must be present, as the AUTO-constants 'NTST' and 'NCOL' are used to define the new mesh. For examples of using the 'userData' command see demos 'lor' and 'pen' (where it has the old name 'fc').
