Software description:

  Name            Description

  WIN95/LBLTOOL   a label (.LBL) and catalog (.CAT) file viewer for use on
                  IBM/Windows95 and IBM/WindowsNT platforms. This software
                  was developed at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary
                  Physics at UCLA.

  WIN95/PDSEXP    PDS Explorer (for use on IBM/Windows95 and IBM/WindowsNT
                  platforms). May be used to navigate through this CD-ROM
                  with a point and click interface. This program should run
                  automatically upon inserting the CD-ROM into a Windows95
                  or WindowsNT machine. This software was developed at the
                  Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at UCLA.

  WIN95/NASAVIEW  a display tool which may be used with this volume to view
                  PDS labeled tables, or time series as ASCII tables. This
                  software may also be used with PDS qube or image data
                  (neither of which are included on this volume). NASAView
                  was developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, an
                  operating division of the California Institute of
                  Technology and is available for use by the public without
                  need of a license. To obtain information on new releases
                  of this software, or have yourself added to the NASAView
                  distribution list, contact the PDS Central Node at JPL (as
                  described below). Please refer to the file
                  WIN95/NASAVIEW.TXT for Copyright and licensing
                  information.

  WIN95/SPLASH    plots PDS Version 3.2 labeled data files (for use on
                  IBM/Windows95 and IBM/WindowsNT platforms). The version of
                  SPLASH that was available at the time of the production of
                  this CD-ROM was unable to correctly resolve ARRAY, and
                  CONTAINTER objects and repeated ITEMS. As a result, some
                  files or columns may not plot correctly for the following
                  data: LECP Sectored, ephemeris SEDR (both HG and S3), PRA
                  Browse, PWS 48S and 4S. For information on new versions of
                  SPLASH, please contact the PDS Operator at the PDS/PPI
                  node (see contact information below). This software was
                  developed at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary
                  Physics at UCLA.

  WIN95/TEXTVIEW  a text viewer (for use on IBM/Windows95 and IBM/WindowsNT
                  platforms) used by PDSEXP to view text files when no other
                  viewer is available. This software was developed at the
                  Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at UCLA.

The PDS has produced a number of general purpose software tools designed for
use with PDS labeled files. This software is distributed by the PDS Central
Node. For more information, or to obtain this software, contact the PDS Home
Page website (http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov), and select the 'PDS Data and
Services' link.

Finally, the PDS/PPI node is aware of software, either under development or
already available, which may be used with some or all of the data found on
this volume. This includes software for performing coordinate
transformations between various Jovian coordinate systems as well as
generating additional ephemeris in these systems. For information about this
software or help with any of the other software found on this CD-ROM, please
contact the PDS Operator at the PDS/PPI node:
