- This CD-ROM contains the contents, program, abstracts, and various indexes for
- the 32nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. The files can be viewed,
- searched, and printed using Adobe's Acrobat Reader, version 4.0 (or higher) with
- search capability.
-
- If you do not already have Acrobat 4.0 with search capability, you will need to
- download the appropriate software from the Adobe Web site (www.adobe.com).
- (Note that the Linux version of the Reader does not provide search capability.)
-
- The file "preface.pdf" gives the dates, location, sponsors, and program
- committee members for the 32nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.
-
- The abstracts can be accessed in two ways: in alphabetical order, via
- the file "contents.pdf," or in session order, via the file "program.pdf."
- You can begin browsing the abstracts by opening one of these two files, which
- are both located in the root directory of the CD-ROM.

- ===========================
- Using the Search Capability
- ===========================
-
- To use the Reader's search capability, when you first open either the
- program or contents files, you must load the Acrobat index. To do this,
- go to the menu bar and select "Edit", then "Search", then "Select Indexes".
- The list of available indexes will appear in a box on your screen
- (the box will initially be empty, because you have not yet identified
- the index you want to use). Click on "Add", then select the file "index.pdx"
- from the list that appears. After you have selected this file, click on
- "Open", then click "OK".

- Layout of CD-ROM
- =================
-
- In addition to the root directory, which contains the "read" files,
- "preface.pdf", "program.pdf", "contents.pdf", and "index.pdx", the
- CD-ROM contains five subdirectories.
-
- "ABSTRACTS" contains the PDF documents for individual sessions of the
- program and alphabetical sections of the table of contents; this directory
- also contains three folders labeled "1001-1400", "1401-1800", and "1801-2197".
- These folders contain the PDF files for the individual abstracts.
-
- "FULL" contains a file for each session that contains the program listing
- for that session AND all the abstracts included in that session. The file
- "fulllist.pdf" provides a listing of the sessions and the name of the file
- for each one. There are no links within these documents, but they provide an
- easy way for readers to print out all the abstracts for a particular session.
-
- "INDEX" contains the index files used by the Acrobat search engine to
- search through all the abstracts for particular words or phrases.
-
- "REFERENCE" contains the index files provided by the LPI (these are different
- from the Acrobat search engine files), and are based on information provided
- by the authors on the abstract submission form. These index files include
- "authors.pdf" (list of all authors and the number of their abstract),
- "keywords.pdf" (list of keyword terms provided by authors), "meteorites.pdf"
- (list of meteorite names discussed in abstracts), "programindex.pdf" (list of all
- authors and the session they are in), and "samples.pdf" (list of lunar sample
- numbers discussed in abstracts). Note that there are no links from these files
- to the abstracts themselves; they are merely provided as a reference tool for
- readers.
