Scientists, I am looking for examples of obscure text file formats. These files are often generated by scientific instruments to be read by their proprietary software. Or they might come from a program not intended to be machine readable. These examples are for some motivation slides for my SciPy conference talk [1] on Parsita. If you have an example, please send it my way. If you don't want to send a whole file, enough text to fill a slide is sufficient. Thanks so much!
