CD2PICS - Convert PDS CDROM compressed and uncompressed image to PICS PROGRAMMER:EELIASON CD2PICS - Reads a PDS image on a CDROM and converts it to PICS format. CD2PICS handles VOYAGER and VIKING images stored on CDROM. A new feature has been recently added to read PDS image files with detached labels. This new feature currently has been tested only on the PRE-MAGELLAN CDROM disk. If a PDS detached LABEL/IMAGE files are to be read, provide the name of the label file (*.LBL) in the FROM= parameter. CD2PICS was developed to handle VOYAGER and VIKING images stored on CDROMs in the PDS image file format. The program can convert both compressed and uncompressed PDS image files which conform to version 1.0 of PDS' Object Descriptor Language (ODL). The original VOYAGER Space Science Sampler disc (March 25, 1987) and the PDS interactive Data Interchange Space Science Sampler disc of the same date can not be accessed by this program. You will need to continue to use the original CDIN program for accessing this data. Before CD2PICS can be run, you must first ALLOCATE and MOUNT the CDROM reader. Issue the following comands when reading an image from the CDROM. TAE>ALL dub0: TAE>MOUNT dub0:/FOR TAE>CD2PICS FROM=dub0:[dir]image.ext TO=pics_file dub0: = device name of CDROM player. If your CDROM player device is not named DUB0: then replace dub0: with the correct name. [dir] = directory containing your file image.ext = name of file, be sure that the file name extension is included in the file name.
