                 NOTES ON USING THE GAZETTEER TABLE                           

                                                                              

The gazetteer table is formatted so that it may be read directly              

into many data management systems on various host computers.  All             

fields (columns) are separated by commas, and character fields are            

enclosed in quotes.  Each record consists of 372 bytes, with a                

carriage return/line feed sequence in bytes 371 and 372.  This allows         

the table to be treated as a fixed length record file on hosts which          

support this file type and as a normal text file on other hosts.              

                                                                              

The structure and content of the gazetteer table are described in             

file GAZETTER.TXT located in the GAZETTER directory.  A label coded in        

the Object Description Language (ODL), providing a formal description         

of the index table structure, is located in file GAZETTER.LBL.
