 3. Description


 0. Known bugs are:

    - numericalio doesn't gracefully handle file system errors
      (path component does not exist, permissions problems, etc.)

    - return values are not consistent; should consistently return
      true or some object for success and false for failure

    - empty sublist in nested list should yield an empty line,
      but nothing (not even an empty line) is printed

 
 1. Files in this package are:

 README                        -- this document

 numericalio.lisp              -- numericalio functions

 is_equal_array.lisp           -- scripts and data for testing
 my_flatten.mac
 ragged.mac
 ragged.data
 rectangular.mac
 rectangular.data
 array.mac
 array.data
 csv.mac
 rectangular.csv
 really-csv.data
 really-space-separated.csv


 2. To use numericalio:

 (C1) load("numericalio.lisp")$

 To execute the test scripts:

 (C1) batchload("ragged.mac")$
 (C2) batchload("rectangular.mac")$
 (C3) batchload("array.mac")$
 (C4) batchload("csv.mac")$

 Test scripts assume the current working directory is writable.


 3. For a description of functions, see: numericalio.lisp
 The header comment describes the functions.
