Do they have some kind of "official" documentation of their format?  Sample file?

Jurisidiction:            For GBS & State of Wisconsin
Date Requested:    November 20, 2001
Date Required:       February - 2002
 
The State of Wisconsin / Elections Board is requiring that all election results to be transmitted electronically from the county clerks to the Elections Board starting in 2002.  They have a specific format that we must follow.  Here is an example with an explanation:
 
1,4,5,14,1
2,11,21,4,3
3,7,3,2,0
 
1,4,5,2
2,1,2,4
 
Each group represents the totals from each office, by precinct.
 
The first group for the 1st office has 3 Report Precincts, 1,2,&3;  3 candidates - Candidate 1 has results of 4 in precinct 1, 11 in precinct 2, and 7 in precinct 3, Candidate 2 has results of 5 in precinct 1, 21 in precinct 2, and 3 in precinct 3, Candidate 3 has results of 14 in precinct 1, 4 in precinct 2, and 2 in precinct 3.  The last number represents the results for (Write-Ins).
 
The second group for the 2nd office has 2 Report Precincts, 1 & 2; 2 candidates - Candidate 1 has results of 4 in precinct 1, and 1 in precinct 2, Candidate 2 has results of 5 in precinct 1 and 2 in precinct 2.  Again, the last number represents the results for (Write-Ins).
 
Each office is reported in Report Precinct Order.
Only list the Reporting Precincts that actually have the office on the ballot.
Need a break after each office.
No headers.
No titles.

Thanks,
