Actions: NODC personnel made an ISO disc image file using Sonic CD-ROM/DVD-ROM authoring software, 
         which enables the creation of an exact replica of the entire disc content if appropriate 
         disc authoring software is available. The ISO image file is in data/0-data/disc_image/. 

         NODC personnel copied all data, image, and documentation files from the original disc to 
         data/0-data/disc_contents/. Some of these files may require specific Geographic Information 
         System (GIS) software to properly read and/or display the content of the files. The original 
         disc contents may or may not provide access to software that are appropriate and/or necessary 
         for using these files.
   
         NODC personnel removed all executable files from data/0-data/disc_contents/. In addition, 
         all ancillary files and directories related to the executable files were removed. These 
         files are available from the ISO image file. 

A copy of the original disc provided by NOS may be obtained directly from NOS using the contact information 
on the disc or may be checked out to authorized personnel from the NOAA Library system.
