Introduction
============

   This document provides an overview of this volume of the Stardust
   Wild 2 Encounter Dynamic Science Experiment Data Archive, including
   a complete listing of the volume contents.

   This volume contains Dynamic Science Experiment data. Refer to the

Volume Format
=============

   This volume has been formatted according to the ISO-9660 level 2
   Interchange Standard.

   This volume does not contain any Extended Attribute Records (XAR).
   Thus, some VAX/VMS users may have problems accessing files on this
   volume.


File Formats
============

   All text documents and other meta information files such as
   descriptions, PDS object definitions and detached PDS labels are
   stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line
   feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the record.  This allows the
   files to be read by MS-DOS/Windows, Unix, and VMS operating systems.
