      The INDEX directory contains an index for this CD-WO volume (INDEX.TAB) 
and a PDS label (INDEX.LBL).                                                  
                                                                              
      The *.TAB file is an ASCII file.  Each line (or record) in INDEX.TAB    
contains information about a single data file in this data archive volume.    
Records have 116 bytes each; the last two bytes are an ASCII carriage-return  
line-feed pair which delimits the line.                                       
                                                                              
      Each line in the *.TAB file is made up of six comma-delimited           
fixed-length fields.  Three 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 file describes the format and content of the *.TAB      
file at the byte level.  Simply stated, the fields are:                       
                                                                              
              identifier of the volume                                        
              path name to the PDS detached label for each data file          
              name of the data file                                           
              start date/time of the data in the file                         
              stop date/time of the data in the file                          
              creation date/time of the data file
