Notes from Ed: I'm not sure about steps 5 and 6! There is no need to remake the report manually. You can use the old report by editing the .ssh file directly to correct the path before loading it, or you can load the existing report inside of SDC once the session is loaded.
==After updating all files through SDC, clean up the Data==
1) Download the data from SDC.
2) Cut off the footers and run it through Normalizer.pl.
3) Load it into a PostgreSQL database, cleaning it as needed.
4) Process it in SQL and using Matcher.pl to find IPOs and M&As for VC backed firms, etc.
