     The DOCUMENT directory contains the files that provide documentation and 
     supplementary information to assist in understanding and using the data 
     products on the volume.                   

The documents are either in PDF-Format or are text files in ASCII with 
variable length of characters per line. Each line is delimited with a 
carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pair.                    

The following refers only for DSN documents:                                  

There are two types of "documentation" in this directory.  Simple        
text files have attached PDS labels and file names ending with the            
extension *.TXT.  Complex documents are defined by a PDS label file           
which has a name ending with *.LBL.  The label file points to at least        
one readable text file and (possibly) other files in formats such as          
MicroSoft Word, Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), etc.                    
                                                                              
     Simple text files have fixed-length lines of 80 characters.  Lines       
are delimited by carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pairs        
in positions 79 and 80 of each line.                                          
                                                                              
     Label files for the complex documents also have fixed-length lines       
of 80 characters, delimited by carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed           
(ASCII 10) pairs in positions 79 and 80.  Readable text files in plain        
ASCII have file name extensions *.ASC; readable files in HTML format          
have file name extensions *.HTM.  Both  have variable length lines            
delimited by carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pairs.

         The above mentioned documents represent the maximum of available documents,
         but need not to be present for every measurement. For IFMS measurements, 
         please refer mainly to MRS_DOC, for DSN measurements to DSN_DOC.

     The files evolved as the mission progressed; users should refer to the   
files on the most recent (highest numbered) archive volume for the most       
up-to-date information.  Files on early volumes may be only 'place-holders.'
