1. aareadme.txt Entire file needs work on grammer and content. I was not impressed by the tone of some of the text. The aareadme.txt file is the first thing a user looks at. It should be given the same attention as in any published work. "the science data on this volume is stored in binary files, hence you will need to find a way to read it. " "If you are unable to find a way to easily make Vanilla run, you will be stuck with reading the binary data yourself." ------------------------------------------------------ Software. Used the first example in the documentation and received an error. Read about the FMT LBL files and removed some of them. After I removed various LBL files for FMT files I was able to get the command to execute, but only got the SCET values. io07:dconner /home2/io/dconner/peer_reviews 179> SOFTWARE/BIN/SOLARIS/vanilla -fields ``scet det rti ispts'' DATA/APODSPEC | more scet 978317375 978317375 978317375 978317375 978317375 978317375 978317375 978317375 978317375 978317375 978317387 What finally worked is: io07:dconner /home2/io/dconner/peer_reviews 187> SOFTWARE/BIN/SOLARIS/vanilla -fields "scet det" DAT A/APODSPEC | more scet det 978317375 0 978317375 1 978317375 3 978317375 5 978317375 7 978317375 12 978317375 14 978317375 16 978317375 18 978317375 20 978317387 0 978317387 2 978317387 4 978317387 6 The double quotes in the example look like a pair of single quotes to me.

Should the ^TABLE pointing come before the OBJECT=TABLE line ? Should the FMT file reside in the LABEL directory ? Are the primary and secondary keys supposed to be lower case ? Should the RECORD_BYTES be included for the SPM01010400.VAR file object ? - Seems reasonable for a variable length object.
