Optional seteup

You may want to tell bfit where the data is stored. This is done by defining environment variables BNMR_ARCHIVE and BNQR_ARCHIVE (for convenience add this to your .bashrc script). The expected file format is as follows:

/path/
    bnmr/
    bnqr/
        2017/
        2018/
            045123.msr

In this example, you would set BNQR_ARCHIVE=/path/bnqr/ to the directory containing the year directories.

If bfit cannot find the data, it will attempt to download the files from musr.ca according to the defaults set in the bdata package.
