                      BROWSE Directory Contents

The BROWSE directory contains a directory structure identical to the
data directories on this CD.  At the top level of this BROWSE
directory are HTML formatted files which form the top level of the
Mars Pathfinder APXS Data and Rover Image Browsers.  More HTML files,
for use in searching for individual data files, are located in the
sub-directories.  Each directory that contains HTML files also
contains a PDS label describing those files.

Each lowest level directory contains JPEG, GIF, and TIFF formatted
images.  In the case of the Rover data, these are simply re-formatted
versions of the PDS archive images in the corresponding data
directory.  For the APXS data, these are graphic representations of
the APXS spectra.  For each data file, there is also a corresponding
HTML browse page.  Each collection of 1 JPEG image, 1 GIF image, 1
TIFF image, and 1 HTML file is described by a PDS label.

The BROWSE directory also contains an ICONS directory, which contains
GIF-formatted icons used throughout the browsers.
