    Program col2dec12 reads a tab delimitted
  column file and reformats the contents into
  either decadal measurement or index format.
    The program assumes the first column in the
  file contains the common index to all rows of
  data. Each column must have an 8 character or
  less title on the first line of the file.
 
  Example:
  Year   Tur       TOR       FOR
  1967   28.1089   25.5282   26.6594
  1968   27.2963   25.5974   27.4541
  1969   27.2225   25.8224   -99.999
  1970   25.1304   26.0203   -99.999
  1971   27.5496   -99.999   -99.999
  
 In the example above
 the number of columns is : 4
 the cell pad value is  : -99.999
  Note: 
   The maximum number of  
   characters in a column title   : 8. 
   The maximum number of columns  :  500
   The maximum length of a series :     8000

  Enter input file name  => tst2.in
  

  Enter number of columns in file : tst2.in                                           
    This is the total number of columns in the
    file: => 4

  Enter cell pad value (spacer within columns) 
    this is a number that fills the blank cells 
    within the rows of data. It must be a unique
    value other than -99.999 or -999.9  => -8.

  Select output file format
    [1] = tree-ring increment
    [2] = tree-ring index  => 1

  Enter scaling factor [default=1.0] 
    This is an optional multiplier that can be used
    to transform or scale the input values.  => 1.
  
  Opening files ====================|
  1 tst2.in                                           
  2 tst2.in_dec                                       
  ==================================|
  

 There appears to be some negative values in these data.
  The smallest being  -2.88000
 Do you want to scale all the data to be greater than 0?
   Answer: [T]rue or [F]alse => t
