For the format of the MAWS data file, see the specification.
The imaws2007 script is functionally nearly
identical to the iband7 script. The only
important differences are:
It uses the MAWS species code (2002) and MAWS stations authority files.
The taxonomy is specified with the six-letter species code, based on the scientific name, rather than the four-letter code based on the English name.
Because so little of this script is different, this section is not heavily commented. For a functional narrative, see Section 80, “iband7: 2006 MAPS data compiler” .
The script starts with the usual Unix “pound-bang line” that makes it self-executing.
