Guide to anonymous file system for 128.149.1.160 (spectro-gw.jpl.nasa.gov)

The usable subdirectories are calpgm, catalog, and incoming.

The subdirectory incoming is a place to write incoming files.

The subdirectory calpgm contains programs for fitting spectra and is read-only.

The subdirectory catalog contains files related to the JPL spectral line 
catalog, and is read-only. The file catdir.cat contains the current catalog
directory in a format described in the written catalog discription. Line
files are designated as ctttttt.cat, where tttttt is the zero-filled catalog
tag number (the first entry in each line of the catdir.cat file). For example,
the H atom line list is in file c001001.cat. File names with this form, but 
with other extensions, are likely to be earlier versions of the line lists.
The line files and the directory file are text files readable with usual text
file system utilities. It is recommended that they be transfered under ftp 
using the ASCII option, although binary should work with UNIX hosts.

The subdirectory catalog/pgm contains utility programs for catalog access.
The subroutine set catread.f contains code for reading files into a FORTRAN
program. These routines use random access, and assume that the files have
a fixed line length within the file. Some modification of path names and file
open options will be required for other operating systems. The program catlist.f
uses catread.f to provide listing of lines for selected molecules over a 
selected frequency range.

The subdirectory catalog/doc contains the documentation for the line files.
Documentation for a particular species follows the line file naming convention
except that the first character is 'd' rather than 'c'. These files are text
files in LATEX format. The files catdoc.tex, catintro.tex, catdir.tex, and 
moldoc.tex are the files used to generate the catalog descriptive report.
The file pretex.tex can be used to TEX a single document page. Processing
the full documentation will generate a document of over 200 pages !

The subdirectory catalog/archive contains the some of the input files for
calculating the catalog files

WARNING: this filesystem is the living repository of the JPL catalog. 
Recently added files may still be in a preliminary state. Caution should
be used for species which have a catdir.cat line ending with '*', which
have been modified since the last published edition of the catalog.
