The INDEX directory contains various tables summarizing the data in the
cubes on this CDROM.  Each table is accompanied by a detached PDS label
with the same name and a .LBL extension, which contains a complete
description of the structure of the table. Section 6, "Index Files" of
the VOLINFO.TXT file found in the DOCUMENT directory provides complete
documentation on the content of each of the index tables described below. 

It is expected that later volumes of NIMS cubes will have the same
tables, cumulatively larger to include all data published up to that
time, which will supersede the tables on this CD.

INDEX.TAB:  The index table contains an entry for each cube or tube on
the CD.  Each entry includes information about filenames and paths,
time range of data, target, instrument status, cube or tube size and
selected geometry ranges.

OBSCAT.TAB:  The OBServation CATalog table contains an entry for each
observation for which data is present on any of the the pre-Jupiter CDs.
Each entry includes the observation name, spacecraft clock range,
starting universal time, principal target and various NIMS instrument
parameters.  It is used by ISIS NIMS cube generation software to point
to the EDRs containing data for an observation.
