The WARMreader macros can be used to read data for marked-points from files having formats other than those discussed above. For a given format one needs to specify ``data-start'' and ``data-end'' strings, as well as patterns to be used with macros to extract the necessary components of the bounding-box and the lines of marked-point data. Stripped-down versions of these patterns are also needed, to help determine when a line does not match what is required. Also required is a token-list, to hold the expansion part of a TEX macro to interpret the data which matches the supplied pattern. This macros must store the data appropriately for later use. Finally there must be a TEX macro that controls the order in which the various steps are performed; i.e. reading the data file, with the appropriate pattern to interpret each data line.
For specific information on what is required, consult the file WARMreader.sty. Towards the end one finds where this is done for the .bb files created using Zephyr, by the process discussed earlier, and the .mbb files created using Mathematica[9]. Be aware that it is necessary to adjust category codes of characters such as %, { and }, which may occur on the lines of data in these files.
