NGS has modified the format of the datasheet to try and better service the various needs of our increasingly demanding user community. The majority of the changes will impact only those stations that have a position/height determined by GPS. You won't see much difference on marks that are just bench marks or older triangulation stations.
I would appreciate any comments you have pro or con to these changes.

Didn't the Easton Assassin lose to Bruno Sammartino in a title match back in '77?
The Easton Assasin Would Not Be Me
That would be Larry Holmes. Met him on the street once with Muhammad Ali, neither one looked as big as one might imagine.
I worked with Larry's father-in-law while at Bethlehem Steel. My daughter worked in Larry's Ringside restaurant. I worked on the subdivision of the lot that backs up to Holme's residence. He is just a part of the neighborhood.
I printed out two GPSable datasheets for tomorrows work, and wonder what questions were asked.
Bruno Sammartino was a professional wrestler not a boxer.

Bruno Lost to Pedro Morales, the Easton Assassin was Larry Holmes the boxer, who was from Easton and later lost his fortune by investing and developing Easton.

I didn't know that was Larry Holmes nickname (ethnically I was more of a Jerry Quarry/Gerry Cooney fan); the Easton Assassin sounded like a good 70's wrastling nickname.
Well, the program I created to read all the info into a searchable database no longer works, I will need to change the program since the positions and other info are now in different columns.
Dave: is there a document that describes all the different records (i.e. rows) of information?
no doubt I'm not the only person not tracking here.......
> is there a document that describes all the different records (i.e. rows) of information?
A summary specification document is here. The details are in the bluebook specs.
I have a number of custom applications that parse datasheets, and have been putting off testing them with the new format. I guess it's time...
Has and XML option been considered? Works good for importing from OPUS.
FWIW the new format doesn't work in TGO. Neither a DS file (from UFCORS) nor html from the web-site proper.
I've been getting around the billion sec. snafu (or whatever it's called) using Christof's Rinex Dates routinue (Thanks greatly BTW), so now there's another bump in the road.
