Normalizing the files is generally straight-forward. Use NormalizeFixedWidth.pl (see [[Normalizer Documentation]]) and only copy down the missing keys (e.g., coname, statecode, datefirst, etc.). For most files there is nothing to fix, just select the last header row and go. For fund firm fix the header first, so that the capital under management header entry has some space after it(otherwise it blends with the firm status). For RoundOnOneLine, remove the footer, run NormalizeFixedWidth.pl first then RoundOnOneLine.pl, and then fix the header. For fund, fund execs, and portco, remove double quotes after normalization. For M&As, replace \tnp\t and \tnm\t with \t\t.
