This routine converts Haestad files into Carlson sewer files. Haestad sewer network files have fourteen pieces of information in an ASCII text file. Unfortunately, they do not contain two-dimensional coordinates of the manholes locations. Therefore, the routine must assume locations along some arbitrary datum. Examine the example output below. The program searches for the longest path along the sewer network, and places it on the X axis. The next longest set(s) of network traces branch from the longest path. The process is repeated until the last upstream manhole on the network tree branches is encountered. While true coordinate locations of the manholes is unknown, additional hydraulic analysis of the system can be made on this Carlson pseudo-layout.
