Subject: Potential TDT2 ASR fileid problem beyond: February 3rd through
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 1998 12:04:44 -0500 (EST)
Dave,
File 19980217_0130_0200_CNN_HDL.asr has the following header in
our data:
<DOCSET type=ASRTEXT fileid=19980218_0130_0200_CNN_HDL>
I'm using this fileid from the .asr file as opposed to the Operating
System's filename.
Can we rely on this fileid field, or should we be relying
on another source ?
BTW, we loaded patch tdt_patch_981111.tar.gz, and did not have
a problem with the range of files specified below.
