2.1 Readdata <filename>

  The first thing to do is to read some data into the program. The data file should be in ``free field'', ``white spaced'' ascii format. Each line corresponds to one individual plant and should contain the following variables:
i
The plant identification number
xi
The x-coordinate of the plant.
yi
The y-coordinate.
zi
The z-coordinate.
ti
The time at which each plant started flowering.
mi
Some variable related to the amount of pollen produced by each plant
ki
The genotype of each plant. (Only homozygotes are currently handled by the program, although handling heterozygotes would be straigthforward to implement.) Let ki=1 for plants with genotype AA, and ki=2 for genotype aa.
Ni
The total number of seeds collected from plant i.
Mi
The number of seeds pollinated by the first plant variety.
Variables that haven't been measured should be replaced by sample means or should be set equal to zero.
