EUVE CD CONTENTS
			   ----------------


   This file describes the contents of directories on this EUVE CD-ROM set
(Volume 2, Number 2).  All documents are in ASCII text or PostScript format;
all images and spectra are in FITS, GIF and/or Postscript format.
   This set of three CD-ROMs contains nine Guest Observer pointed spectrometer
observation data sets.  These observations have been arranged thematically on
the three discs:  three white dwarfs on disc A, three late-type stars on disc
B and three assorted objects on disc C (see the EGO/DATA directory below for
a detailed listing of these observations).  Also included are a variety of
images, videos and assorted mission-related documentation.  The following is
a detailed listing of the contents of this CD-ROM set:


DOCS		Contains various EUVE mission-related documents.
  ARCH_ACC	Information on accessing the EUVE Science Archive.
  ARCH_INV	The inventory of publicly available EUVE archival material.
  EGO_CY1	Information on Cycle 1 of the EUVE Guest Observer program.
  PUBLICAT	Recent EUVE publications.
    JBIS	The special EUVE edition of the Journal of the British
		Interplanetary Society (JBIS).
    NEWSLETT	Information on, and past issues of, the EUVE Electronic
		Newsletter.
    ABSTRACT	Abstracts of recently published EUVE papers.

EGO	 	Contains data sets, software, reference data, and information
		from the EUVE Guest Observer (EGO) program.
  DATA		The observation data sets, comprised of the following: 1-d
		nominally reduced spectrum and 2-D detector and corrected image
		for each of the three spectrometers, Space Telescope (ST)
		binary tables of decommutated telemetry for the observation,
		and ST tables containing the "good times" for each spectrometer.
		All of the above have been converted to FITS format.  The
		actual included observation targets, UT start dates (mm/dd/yy
		format) and approximate exposure times in kiloseconds (exposure
		times vary by spectrometer channel) are the following:
	Disc A contains three white dwarfs:  HZ43 (930219, 40), WD1254+223
		(930211, 55) and WD2309+105 (920928, 55);
	Disc B contains three late-type stars:  AD Leo (930303, 90), alpha Cen
		A (930531, 55) and sigma Gem (930207, 55);
	Disc C contains three assorted objects:  the cataclysmic variable AN
		UMa (930301, 45), the early-type star epsilon CMa (930118, 65)
		and the planet Jupiter (930401, 65).
		In addition to the nominal EGO processing performed on these
		data sets, the Archive group has carefully reprocessed the data
		in order to improve the extracted spectral results.
  DOCS		General EGO documentation including the EUVE Guest Observer
		User's Guide and information on EGO FITS files.
  REFERNCE	The most recent version (v1.8.1) of the reference data set for
		the EUVE spectrometers.  The reference data set consists of
		calibration information and descriptions of detector
		characteristics.  These data are intended for use with the
		IRAF/EUV layered package.
  SOFTWARE	The most recent version (v1.4) of the IRAF/EUV layered package
		software and installation guide.  This package requires IRAF
		v2.10.2 (or later) and the TABLES v1.3 (or later) IRAF layered
		package.

IMAGES		Contains GIF- and PostScript-format images from various stages
		of the EUVE mission.  Some popular previewing packages for GIF
		files are "xv" under UNIX, "Giffer" under MacOS and "ColorView"
		under DOS; "ghostscript" works well for PostScript files under
		UNIX, MacOS and DOS.
  OPS		Operations-related images.
  SCIENCE	Science-related images.

MOVIES		Contains EUVE-related videos, simulations and animations in
		MPEG format.  Some popular viewing packages for MPEG-format
		files are "mpeg_play" under UNIX and DOS and "Sparkle" under
		MacOS.  The user should note that MPEG-format files require
		a large amount of processing; the user should use a 486 or
		68040 machine with at least 8 MB of RAM for optimal results
		(using 8-bit instead of 24-bit color will also improve the
		performance).

SPECTRA		Contains "browse" images (GIF/PS) of publicly available EUVE
		1-d spectral data sets.  The purpose of these "browse" images
		is to provide users with "quick-look" images of these EUVE
		data products.  Because the actual FITS-format files are
		reprocessed periodically as better software and calibration
		data become available, they were not included in this CD-ROM
		set.   The most recent versions of these FITS files may always
		be obtained electronically via the CEA World Wide Web Mosaic
		server (see the DOCS directory for more information on how to
		obtain EUVE archival data products).
