This is in response to errors recieved while uploading psion
data. The program was written based on these specs:
https://papio.biology.duke.edu/babasewiki/PsionFormat
It turns out the only thing that is checking the
ALLMISCS.Txt column is the upload program, which is
checking for <ADL> observeration types listed in the
above docs and then (somtimes) putting data into
ALLMISCS. Lacey and Leah got an error from the program
because it found an 'O' observation type -- which
the program did not expect. This raises questions:
Is 'O' the same as 'U' or is it ok to have 'O' also?
Should ALLMISCS.Txt check for 'O', 'U', 'C', and whatever
other stuff winds up in there?
How about the OS data that Lacey found in ALLMISCS.Txt,
shouldn't it be in INTERACT_DATA/PARTS instead?
Is there anything else that's undocumented in the data
coming off the Pison?
