[auton-users] fds conversion

[Paul Komarek]

Hi Bob,

1) get dset

If you have access to AUTON source, you should check out the dset project
and build it (it depends on the utils probject).  I can help you with
that to some extent.

In case you don't have or want the source, I copied the dset executable to
your home directory.  It is called (surprise) dset.

2) run dset

if your input (text) file is foo.txt, do

  ./dset edit in foo.txt

3) save as fds

from the dset prompt, do

  save foo.fds

4) quit

  type 'quit' to quit from dset

If the input filename ends in .txt or .csv, it will be read in some
sensible way for an ascii file.  When you save, if you save to a filename
with .fds as the extension, then you'll get an fds file.  Of course, you
can to the opposite, too:

  ./dset edit in foo.fds
  save foo.txt
  quit

-Paul
