coiwrite takes information from
NPED and writes the data files for COI.
NPED is written with old DOS technology. It cannot write a
file name more than eight characters long. To get past this issue
coiwrite.exe reads the files coipath.txt, coifleid.txt, and
coidata.
It then writes the data file in the coi directory with a 18 character
name. NPED creates coifleid.txt, coidata.txt, and then calls
coiwrite.exe to create the file with a long name.
