Data
The following class data sets are all columnar, plain ascii text
files:
You can download them to disk by placing the mouse pointer on the
link, holding down the SHIFT key, and doing a left-click with the mouse.
If you are doing the class exercises on the EML Suns, you
can simply link to these data sets rather than download them.
To do this, issue the following comands from your home directory:
ln -s /class/data/e240/fall99/ex1-1.dat .
ln -s /class/data/e240/fall99/ex1-2.dat .
ln -s /class/data/e240/fall99/klem.dat .
ln -s /class/data/e240/fall99/ex5.dat .
These files will appear in your home directory as zero bytes in size;
if you use the "ls -l" command, you will see they are actually simlinks.
However, you will be able to read them into your programs as though
they actually existed in your home directory.
