      The INDEX directory contains an index for this CD-WO volume             
(INDEX.TAB) and its detached PDS label (INDEX.LBL).                           
                                                                              
      The *.TAB file is an ASCII file.  Each line (or record) in              
the *.TAB file contains information about a single data file in the           
archive volume.  Each line is made up of six comma-delimited fixed-           
length fields.  Three columns contain character strings, which are            
enclosed by double quotes.  The other three fields contain date/time          
information; those values are NOT enclosed by quotes.                         
                                                                              
      The *.LBL label file describes the format and content of                
the INDEX.TAB file at the byte level.  Simply stated, the fields are:         
                                                                              
              number of the CD-WO volume                                      
              path name to the PDS detached label for each data file          
              unique file name for the data file within this data set         
              start date/time of the data in the file                         
              stop date/time of the data in the file                          
              creation date/time for the original file
