Subject: EG&G/MCS file converter 1.1


This is a sci-tech related utility program to easily convert data files
from an EG&G multi-channel scaler to a mac text format which can be
opened in a spreadsheet.

The MCS format is supposed to be pretty general for spectrum files, but
I don't know what kinds of other programs generate them.

The program is a fat binary which automatically converts files which are
dropped onto its icon. It has been tested on various PowerMacs and 68k
desktop machines and a powerbook. Version 1.1 fixes a bug which caused
messed up X-values when converting several files at once.

Please let me know if you find it useful, or have any problems.
