I know Loyal has explained the process for editing RINEX files but I don't feel comfortable messing around with a NotePad file.
I have one file that the Fixed Ambiguity is only 83% and this is on a nearly 7 hour observation. I'm missing the NGS published elevation by over 0.4'.
I have another that isn't quite as bad but would like to see if it can be tighter.
If anyone is willing to look at them, I would be grateful.
Thanks.
P.S. Is there a program out there that will allow a RINEX dummy to edit their files correctly?

Shoot them to me IF you are not in too much of a hurry. I will take a look at them later this afternoon (off to the cigar store in a few minutes, I'm down to smoking butts!).

Thanks Loyal. Sending them now.;-)
Hi Rob, the best text editor program I have ever used is TextPad. Very powerful. The free version does a lot if you don't want to buy.
There is another quite nice text editor called Notepad++
A feature I am particular fond of is where I can compare the contents of two files side by side and visually see the differences.

When I replaced my computer a couple of months ago I finally (and reluctantly) said goodbye to Programmer's File Editor, a really nice freeware product that hasn't been updated since 1999. I'm now using Notepad++, and so far I like it a lot, especially after installing the Explorer plugin.
Howdy,
FWIW ... On the specific issue of editing RINEX files, I would NOT use anything other than teqc. While editing can be done with a text editor using teqc insures correct formatting. It also adds comment records indicating each time a file is changed. Program teqc is free and while not particularly easy to use it has a good documentation file. Operations like specifying a start time, data interval and correcting a priori coordinates are accomplished using built-in command line options. See the documentation.
As for my favorite text editor, I like Vi. site for download (free)
Hope this helps,

That's GOOD advice for sure!
There are a few things that TEQC doesn't do AT ALL, and a few things that it is pretty clunky at, that are easily done in [say] NOTEPAD. That said however, I ALWAYS keep a copy of the original file and EVERY edition thereof (various edits), and that should be SOP for anybody. COMMENT lines within the HEADER are a VERY GOOD idea, but I don't always do that for my own use. A file that would be sent to a client would be a different story.
I use TEQC for just EVERY RINEX file just to verify, QC, and usually decimate them.
