      The INDEX directory contains an index for this CD-WO volume (INDEX.TAB) 
and a cumulative index for the volume set (CUMINDEX.TAB).  Accompanying each  
*.TAB file is a PDS label (INDEX.LBL and CUMINDEX.LBL, respectively).         
                                                                              
      The *.TAB files are ASCII files.  Each line (or record) in INDEX.TAB    
contains information about a single data file in this data archive volume.    
Each line in CUMINDEX.TAB contains information about a single data file in    
the archival volume set as produced to date.                                  
                                                                              
      Each line in a *.TAB file is made up of seven comma-delimited           
fixed-length fields.  Four fields contain character strings, which are        
enclosed by double quotes.  The other three fields contain date/time          
information; those values are NOT enclosed by quotes.                         
                                                                              
      The *.LBL label files describe the format and content of the respective 
*.TAB files at the byte level.  Simply stated, the fields are:                
                                                                              
              number of the CD-WO volume                                      
              path name to the PDS detached label for each data file          
                 (or, in the case of text files, the path to the file itself) 
              name of the data file                                           
              original file name, if the file came from another source        
                 where it was named differently                               
              start date/time of the data in the file                         
              stop date/time of the data in the file                          
              creation date/time for the original file
