      The INDEX.TAB file in this directory lists every data product
on this archive volume. The index table is described by the 
accompanying PDS label, INDEX.LBL.                                            
                                                                              
      INDEX.TAB is an ASCII file.  Each line (or record) in              
the file contains information about a single data product in the           
Mars Exploration Rover radio science raw data archive volume.  Each line      
is made up of seven comma-delimited fixed-length fields.  Four fields         
contain character strings, which are enclosed by double quotes.               
The other three fields contain date/time information; those values            
are NOT enclosed by quotes.                                                   
                                                                              
      INDEX.LBL describes the format and content of INDEX.TAB at the byte 
level.  Simply stated, the fields are:

 3  unique file name for the data file within this data set                   
 4  original file name, if the file came from another source                  
       where it was named differently                                         
 5  start date/time of the data in the file
