Mary,
This is just to let you know that I'm working on the extract
program for the warehouse.
I have been informed that you've been told multiple times that
this is a non-trivial thing, because you've requested an ASCII dump
file, and that one of the fields is a variable-length, binary field
(that may include ASCII NULL characters). You've also requested fields
which aren't in the OLSIS Moira dump (which was a binary format), which
means additional development.
I will try to get something that will work, but it's going to
require some time. I hope to have something for you by early next week.
