NOTES ON USING THE INDEX TABLE

These notes describe the contents and format of the index table for the DISR
data archive, INDEX.TAB.

The index table (INDEX.TAB) contains one record for each label file in the
DISR data archive. The index table is formatted as Comma Separated Variables
(CSV) so that they may be read directly into Excel and many database
management systems on various computers.  ASCII character fields are
enclosed in double quotation marks (").

Each line (record) contains a unique integer indexing the entry and the name
of the label file. The label's filename includes its path relative to the
ARCHIVE (Volume) directory (all in quotes). These two variables are
separated by a comma delimiter. Each line (record) is terminated with the
ASCII carriage return and line feed characters (ASCII 13 10 dec, 0D 0A hex).
