The best plan for putting GEEZ data across the GEEZ net is this:
1. Please rename your files to a unique name before you send them. If
you use the default name, such as "99091503", there's a very good
possibility that we already have that name on our own computers. This
means that if we download your runs we could overwrite one of our own.
So instead, rename your run with a text name. For Nationals I've been
using a format like "BSHOR-N3". That's first initial, last name up to 5
total character, followed by dash, the course (North or South), and the
run number.
2. Zip the files. Most systems recognize a zipped file as non-text.
Remember, though, we need to have both the *.GCD file (or *.GAD if you
are recording with a G.Analyst), and the *.INI file, which includes the
adjustment, your notes from the diary, etc. Zip the both into a single
zip file. If you are sending multiple runs, zip them all together,
including the *.GCD and the *.INI for each.
This strategy will work the vast majority of the time, although there
are still some cases where the data will be stored in line, rather than
as an include file. Also, a typical 60 second zipped GEEZ file
recorded at 10Hz (GCD and INI combined) will be only about 3K. This is
as small as a typical e-mail message (okay, smaller than one of mine).
