The input to TZINIT is presented on a formatted text file of 80-column card-images, giving the titles one after the other, as shown by the example on the next page.
Each title starts with the 'title header line'
*DO ... (see section 
)
which selects mode and options for the reading of its
associated ``title data''.
These have to come immediately and completely after the
title header line.
Normal mode is ``free-field format'' where the data are read line-by-line
and the text is interpreted.
The mode of each data word is taken from the way it is written:
integer data have neither the decimal point nor an exponent,
floating data have either or both,
Hollerith data start with : or ' or ",
octal data are pre-fixed with #O;
see section for full details.
With ``Fortran format'' the data are read by a single
Fortran READ statement with the FORMAT taken from the -F option on
the title header line.
This is useful for computer generated titles.
``Control lines'' to TZINIT may be given interspersed
with the titles.
Global options are selected with control lines;
other examples are the comment line with *-- in column 1,
and the input terminator *FINISH;
see section for details.
Control lines to TZINIT, including title-header lines starting
with *DO, are handled case-insensitive, ie. they are converted
to upper case before processing.
