08/23/88 EDM DRS$DATA:[F587SC.N]F587SC.051;

08/22/88 EDM DRS$DATA:[F587SC.N]F587SC.050;
DUA0:[DATA.][F587SC.N]TEMP.EXE;
Integrated navigation (SINS) data
Program TEMP was written to eliminate contiguous records with equal lat/longs.

02/04/88 EDM DRS$DATA:[F587SC]F587SCNEWER.050;
DUA0:[DATA.][F587SC]COMBINE2.EXE;
Combination of (in order of preference): GPS from tape, GPS from Sonotrak,
RHO-RHO from tape, RHO-RHO from  Sonotrak, IBM floppy. Codes are:
G = GPS from tape, A = GPS from Sonotrak, R = RHO-RHO from tape, B = RHO-RHO
Sonotrak, F = IBM floppy.
The program COMBINE2 was written to combine navigation files from different
sources for the same cruise. It uses the first file given over the second file,
and uses the second file to fill in gaps in the first file. Only gaps greater
than or equal to 15 minutes are filled, starting 2 minutes into the gap and
ending 2 minutes before the end of the gap. In addition, a one-letter code is
appended to the end of each record to indicate what the source of that record
was. This code is user defined, and should be documented in the file header at
the time the program is executed.

02/04/88 EDM DRS$DATA:[F587SC]TEMP3.050;
DUA0:[DATA.][F587SC]COMBINE2.EXE;
Combination of data from TEMP2.050 (2 gps files and rho-rho) with rho-rho from
Sonotrak. Codes are:
G = GPS, A = GPS from Sonotrak, R = RHO-RHO, B = RHO-RHO from Sonotrak.

02/04/88 EDM DRS$DATA:[F587SC]TEMP2.050;
DUA0:[DATA.][F587SC]COMBINE2.EXE;
Combination of combined GPS with RHO-RHO. Codes are as follows:
G = GPS, A = GPS from Sonotrak, R = RHO-RHO.

02/04/88 EDM DRS$DATA:[F587SC]TEMP1.050;
DUA0:[DATA.][F587SC]COMBINE2.EXE;
Combined 2 GPS files; earlier one with one from Sonotrak. Preference given to
earlier one. Codes are: G = earlier GPS, A = Sonotrak GPS.

01/05/88 EDM DRS$DATA:[F587SC]GPS.052;
DUA0:[DATA.][F587SC]ZERONAV.EXE;
Program zeronav written to eliminate records with zero for lat and long.
