No specific cube access software is provided with this version of the NIMS
Cube CD-ROMs.  The ISIS (Integrated Software for Imaging Spectrometers)
system is available for display and analysis of NIMS cubes and tubes.
The Vicar-labelled masks may be displayed by software in the Vicar system.
Also, software for generation of cubes and tubes from NIMS EDRs is available
in both the ISIS and Vicar systems.  See VOLINFO.TXT in the DOCUMENT
directory for more details.

Simple multi-platform software for examining the cubes, tubes and masks
will be included on later volumes in this series of CD-ROMs.  This
software is known as NASAview and is under development by PDS.  Versions
which access image files are expected to be available soon from the PDS
home page on the World Wide Web (http://stardust.jpl.nasa.gov).  Versions
which access cube files, and which display spectra as well as images,
will follow.

A utility command file, CDCOPY.COM, is available in the [SOFTWARE.VMS]
subdirectory for use on VMS systems to copy data files from CDROM to VMS
magnetic disks.  This command file is used in conjunction with the VFS
ISO 9660 MOUNT field test kit which provides a pre-VMS-6.0 interface with
the CDROM ISO volume and directory standard. 

The pre-VMS-6.0 interface to ISO CDROMs (VFS field test kit) has problems with
files that have extended attribute records with a print control value of 0.
The DCL COPY command, and other DCL commands, generates an error message when
trying to access these kinds of files. The DCL CONVERT utility will properly
copy these files to the VMS environment. The CDCOPY command file will create
an appropriate FDL file for the given input CDROM file and then execute the
CONVERT utility. 

The CDCOPY command file will convert fixed-length, variable-length, and stream
record files.  If a file on the CDROM does not contain an extended attribute
record, then the command file assumes the file is a stream record file and
convert it accordingly. 

HOW TO RUN THE COMMAND FILE:

You can run the CDCOPY command file with the following command:

$@CDCOPY  in-spec out-spec

where 'in-spec' is the input file specification and 'out-spec'
is the output file specification. Wild card file specifications
are permitted.  Shown below is an example of how to run the
command file (the CDROM device name is assumed to be DUD7:):

$@CDCOPY DUD7:[INDEX]INDEX.TAB *
