> no, write all the numbers into excel because excel can convert it to various text files. i'll write code to convert that text into what i want. you just worry about writing the data into excel. don't write the number of columns and rows. just make 15 columns and 16 rows filled with numbers and don't add any other extraneous stuff. i'd like someone to confirm that the 15 16 numbers are correct first though.

> the normals are each one byte not three. the seperator that excel will probably use will be spaces or tabs but you don't need to worry about that; each time you will just write the numbers into excel and save as one of the txt files. i'll decide later which txt save as you should use that would be convenient for my program. Olaf what do you think?

ok i forgot to say the order i want the table. the top left of the table means the index used for forward and far down. as you go further right along the table you go further counter clockwise on the sphere of normals. as you go further down the table you go further up on the sphere of normals. so all numbers on one row of the table belong to the same latitude and all numbers on one column of the table belong to the same longitude.

i think this system is good because for instance the TS table since it is not scrambled would look like this.

0 1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10 11
12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29
30 31 32 33 34 35

i think that is easiest to follow.
