Csv2Obs, Csv2Tag

These utilities are useful in converting the csv files as downloaded from the PTAGIS database into CaptHist-ready data files. Both utilities work in pretty much the same way: they each take a csv file as input, remove the commas and quotes, add null values where necessary, and print the file to the screen. To save the output in a file you must redirect it as follows: '

   csv2obs csv_file > obs_file

The greater than symbol (>) tells csv2obs to write the output to a file named "obs_file".
