FINDSDDFERROR(1)   

NAME
       FindSddfError  -  Help  pinpoint  location of errors in an
       SDDF file

SYNOPSIS
       FindSddfError

DESCRIPTION
       The FindSddfError program reads  an  SDDF  data  file  and
       reports the offset of each packet.  This can be helpful in
       debugging a corrupt binary or converted binary  SDDF  file
       by narrowing down the location of an error in the file.

       The  program  first  prompts  for the number of packets to
       process before invoking a 'DEBUG'  routine  on  subsequent
       packets  -- if -1 is entered the DEBUG routine will not be
       called.  It then prompts for the name of the SDDF file  to
       read,  and  finally  for  the name of the file where valid
       packets are written in ASCII SDDF  format.   There  is  no
       buffering  of  data being written to the output ASCII file
       so the last packet in that file should be a  good  indica-
       tion of the last valid packet in the input file.
