L. Cells
In addition to the cell libraries provided by Intergraph, NCS has developed
their own cell library. This cell library named NCS.CEL contains elements
that conform to NCS standards, and contains information common to
gravesite layout. Where possible, the standard NCS cell libraries shall be
used to create gravesite layout drawings. Cells not available in these
libraries shall be created in accordance with the applicable standards herein.
All cells will be created at a scale of 1 inch = 1 inch. Contents of the
NCS.CEL library are shown in Appendix "A".
VI. Deliverables and Data Exchange
The need to exchange data between NCS elements, VAMC installations,
and the A/E community will necessitate answering many questions about
media, formats, etc., so that the exchange will be efficient and accurate.
A. Media
The two commonly accepted media for exchange are magnetic tape and
removable (floppy) diskettes. A transmittal sheet containing the following
information and the filenames in each saveset should accompany the tape.
All files shall be free of corrupted or unusable data.
(1) Magnetic tape: The preferred media is a 2.3 gigabyte, 8mm cartridge
tape prepared using the latest version of Intergraph Corporation Clix
"cpio/scpio" commands. The external tape label should contain, as a
minimum:
(a)
The command used to create the tape.
(b)
The block size.
(c)
The number of buffers.
(d)
A short description of the contents.
