9.4 VFRESDAT (Resistor Data)
The VFRESDAT file is a FORTRAN Unformatted Sequential Access file. The file may optionally contain some comment lines at the beginning. These are typically used to carry along such information as problem title, but are otherwise ignored. Since this is an unformatted file, its specific content is machine dependent and so this is only an informal specification of its form. Each item in curly brackets corresponds to a record in the file.
