Subject: gds2dump and gdsdump2gds issue
When I run gds2dump on a file, and get a ascii dump, then restore it to a GDS file using gdsdump2gds, the GDS file changes- all numbers are multiplied by the UNITS constant, which means that each time you convert from/to dump you get a reduction by a constant factor. Is this a bug/issue/feature?

Hi- Is this issue fixed in 2.07? Thanks Yaron [guest - Thu Oct 7 02:31:02 2004]: Show quoted text

Hi Yaron! yes the dump/undump problem should be a thing of the past. schumack@wormwood 109> gds2dump test.gds > test1.dump schumack@wormwood 110> gdsdump2gds test1.dump test2.gds2 schumack@wormwood 111> gds2dump test2.gds2 > test2.dump schumack@wormwood 112> diff test1.dump test2.dump schumack@wormwood 113> Note: you may want to check out my gds2 project at sourceforge. I have a C based gds2 to gdt (graphical data text) utility that can be called from perl that is many times faster than GDS2.pm -Ken http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=100582
