This directory contains software for use with some or all of the data
contained on this CD. Software is in a directory named for the platform
for software designed to work. Please refer to the tree diagram below for
information on the structure and content of /SOFTWARE directory and its
sub-directories.
Note that all software contained on this CD is designed to run 'in place.'
That is it should work correctly when run from the CD.
/SOFTWARE directory tree structure:

Software description:
Name Description
DOS/PWS16PC displays 4 second PWS data on IBM/DOS platforms. For
additional information please refer to the 'PWS16PC Users
guide,' available at /SOFTWARE/DOS/PWS16PC.TXT and
/DOCUMENT/SOFTDOCS/PWS16PC.ASC. This software was
developed and provided by the PWS Team at the University
of Iowa. This software is provided 'as is' without
warranty of any kind. PDS disclaims any implied warranty.
WIN/WMIDAS creates a variety of plots of the PRA data contained on
this volume on various platforms. This software was
developed and provided by the PRA team. This software is
provided 'as is' without warranty of any kind. PDS
disclaims any implied warranty.
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 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.
In addition to the software contained on this CD, the following sources have
software designed to work with some of the data contained on this CD:
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.
The NAIF Toolkit, designed for use with the SPICE kernels, is available
through the PDS Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) Node.
For additional information on the Toolkit or how to obtain it please contact
Chuck Acton (INTERNET: cacton@spice.jpl.nasa.gov, DECNET: NAIF::CACTON,
PHONE: (818) 354-3869) or check the PDS website's link to the NAIF node for
current NAIF contact information.
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, please
contact the PDS Operator at the PDS/PPI node:
