Converts data in a ASCII file into an ASTERIX binned dataset. It is designed to permit users to import data into Asterix making as few changes as possible to their input text files.
IMPORT is a very flexible program - a full description is rather long, so read the "Quick_Guide" section below before attempting to use it.
Demonstration files can be found in the directory $AST_ROOT/data/demo, for both 1 and 2 dimensional files.
