[CS241] standardized format?

[Tim St. Clair]

Sorry, I just got this email.  The format I just sent out is somewhat
similar.  It is a giant spread sheet: paths across the top, divided up by
the probablity we're looking for, and tenses (vp0, vp1) down along the left
side.

Skip: I see how your proposed format is more machine readable, if we want to
use other viewers for it.  However, if you just want to look at raw arrays
of numbers, I find mine more usefull.  I will send out an array in your
format by the end of the night, if you still want it.  (let me check over my
numbers a little first).

p.s.  Where does everybody else stand on this project / these issues?
