the following is general info on the nitric acid data
files.  You will find a list of data files along with
the number of transitions in each file.  Also, at the
end is the proper format statement with which to read
the data along with an explaination of the data cont-
ained in each line.

The first line of each file will contain the name of
the molecule and vibrational state.  Feel free to 
contact me if more information is needed.

Format statement to read data in from files (FORTRAN)

format(I6,1X,I3,I3,2X,I3,1X,I3,I3,1X,F16.3,1X,
                                             I7,9X,I1)

_____________________________________________________

The data contained in each row of the data file in 
the above format is 

Upper J number, Upper K(prolate), Upper K(oblate),
Lower J number, Lower K(prolate), Lower K(oblate),
Observed Frequency (Usually in MHz), Weight of each
line in the least squares fit, Frequency units number
(usually 0, or blank. Can be 0 or 1, a 0 or blank
space means the Frequency given in that line is in 
MHz, a 1 means that the frequency in that line is in
wavenumbers).
