<h2>NAME</h2>

− Initialization of Cross-Over Data Bases.</p>

<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>

<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The purpose of
<b>x_init</b> is to create two key files that will be
holding all the cross-over information for all the cruises
tested. These files are called <i>xx_base.b</i> and
<i>xx_legs.b</i>, and they will contain data for each
cross-over and totals for each leg, respectively.
<b>x_init</b> will create these two files in the current
directory, and write out the fileheader with a 1 as the next
record number in the case of xx_base.b. NB! Any previous
files with the same names in the current directory will be
erased, so use with caution.</p>

<p style="margin-left:22%;">The fileheader is a 40 byte
character string where the last 10 bytes contains the record
number of the last record in the file. The pairheader is a
40 byte character string which contains the names of the two
legs in question and the number of COEs generated between
them. The crossover-structure contains all the information
for one COE, that is lat, lon, time along leg values of
gravity, magnetics, and bathymetry at the cross-over point,
the heading of track #1, and the heading of track #2. See
program listing for more details on formats. The file is
sequential in that new data are appended at the end of the
file.</p>

</table>
<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">Each record
contains the complete information for each leg that has been
checked. The leg-structure contains fields like year of
cruise, number of internal/external COEs for gravity,
magnetics, and bathymetry, their means and standard
deviations, and the best fitting regression lines, i.e. the
dc-shifts and drift-rates computed from the time/error data
points. See program listing for complete description of
record format.</p>
