With an editor?  awk???

It seems that every program that reads external files wants 
things a little different.  The only way to make absolute 
compatibility is to make them absolutely the same, with no room 
for growth.

The favorite tool of the analog group I worked with at Bell 
Labs, for fixing incompatible file formats, was "awk".  The 
favorite tool for plotting and analyzing was "S".

Since then, "S" has evolved into a commercial product (like 
Matlab), so the recommended free alternative is "R".  The 
creator of "S" recommends "R".  Surprisingly, googling for "R" 
finds it first.  It's in the Debian package "r-base".
