The current version of the Spiral program can import data files created by the Export command of the Spiral program with the Import command of the File Menu. The description of the data files for this version of Spiral is given next.
A project is completely described by two files. The first file is the Project Data file that holds all the scalar information about this project. The second file is the Department Data file that contains all department and relationship data.
The easiest way to import an externally generated layout is to execute the following steps:
1. define the project interactively inside Spiral
2. generate any layout
3. export the project
4. modify the generated files to represent the external layout
5. import the modified files and evaluate the layout
