***** File BROWINFO.TXT 
 
This directory, BROWSE/, contains the NEAR NIS SAMPLE browse facility 
which displays sample spectral plots from the nixel database NIXDB.FIT 
in the DATA/ directory of this volume, Volume NNEROS_2001.  
The NEAR NIS SAMPLE browse facility comprises the SAMPLE.HTM HTML file 
and associated files.  See BROWSE/SAMPLE.LBL for a description 
of the NEAR NIS SAMPLE browse facility. 
 
This directory also contains the entry point HTML file from the browse 
facility from Volume NNEROS_2002 of the NEAR Infrared Spectrometer 
archive.  That facility consists of a single, HTML index table 
('NISBROWSE.HTM') and the associated image files, stored under 
the 'MAPS/' subdirectory of Voume NNEROS_2002.  Here on Volume NNEROS_2001, 
the MAPS/ subdirectory and the images are not present and all HTTP links 
in NISBROWSE.HTM are therefore 'broken'. 


This arrangement was requested by the reviewers and approved by PDS 
personnel; the purpose is to provide the table contained in the browse 
facility from Volume NNEROS_2002 on the same CD volume as the calibrated 
data (i.e. Volume NNEROS_2001). 
 
Finally, 
 
***N.B.        Files with unusual extensions are present in the directory 
               tree under BROWSE/.  Some of these files 
               also have lines longer than 80 characters. 
               This is only an anomaly with respect to the PDS standard 
               and represents no problem or error in the data. 
 
 
NOTE 
==== 
 
This label written for the HTML 
file and the approach used in archiving this facility make use 
of prototype standards which have not yet been formally incorporated 
into the PDS system. For this reason, support for this facility 
within the PDS is extremely limited. Once the standards have been 
fully accepted and integrated into the PDS archives, the labels and 
files in this directory will be updated by the Small Bodies Node to 
reflect the final version of the standard.
