FILE STRUCTURE FOR FREE-FORM TEXTUAL DATA
An explanation of the file layouts for the free-form textual data
(FREEFORM.TXT) follows. Note that the free-form textual data is
represented in a simple custom format. The rules for this format
are described below.

FREEFORM.TXT RULES
------------------
- This file contains all of the free form text within the standard.

- Lines of data are terminated with a carriage return/line feed.

- Lines of data in which the first character is an asterisk (*), indicate the beginning of a new piece of free form data. A six character tag indicates the type of free form data that follows.

- There are currently 8 different types of data (described below) in this file.

- The line with the asterisk (the tagged line) indicates the type of free form data. The line immediately following the tagged line (the key line) specifies to what standards entity the free form data belongs. The key line may have one or more entries separated by commas.

- Lines of data may end with a space character followed by a carriage return/line feed. This indicates that the next line is the continuation of the preceding line.

- If a line of data ends simply with a carriage return, this may indicate that a carriage return is required within this piece of free form data, or that this piece of data ends on this line. The first character of the next line indicates which of these two choices is applicable. If the next line of data does not begin with an asterisk, the preceding line is a continuation of the data. If the next line begins with an asterisk, a new piece of free form data is beginning.
