                 Notes on Using the Index Tables                              
                                                                              
     Each index table contains one row (record) for each data product         
on the volume.  The table is formatted so that it can be read directly        
into many data management systems.  All fields are separated by commas        
and character fields are enclosed in double quotation marks (").              
Character fields are left justified and numeric fields are right              
justified.  Each record ends with ASCII carriage return and line feed         
characters.  This allows the table to be treated as a fixed length            
record file on computers that support this file type and as a normal          
text file on other computers.                                                 
                                                                              
     The PDS label file for each table describes the content and              
structure of the fields in the index table.  This description includes        
the name of each field, its format, and a brief definition.  The              
values for start byte and number of bytes listed in the label file do         
not include commas between fields or quotation marks surrounding              
character fields.
