mola2isis - Create MOLA table file based on MOC image and pedr
MOLA2ISIS creates a table of mola altimetry points that
correspond to the coverage of a moc image or from start,
stop time specified by the user. The resulting table can
be used in qview display program to plot mola ground
tracks on a moc image.


***PROGRAM DETAILS***

Individual Programs 'mola2isis' calls:
    mola_ascii
    asc2tbl
    labels
    levinit

***EXECUTION ALTERNATIVES***

mola2isis.pl can be run from a unix command line as follows:

mola2isis PEDR=(pedr.b or pedr.lis) TBL=mola.tbl [ASC=mola.asc]
         ([FROM=moc.imq or moc.cub] or [START=start_time STOP=end_time])
         [PDIR=pedrDir] [EXISTS=overwrite]

mola2isis (pedr.b or pedr.lis) mola.tbl [mola.asc]
          (moc.imq or moc.cub or (start_time end_time))
          [pedrDir] [overwrite/rename]

mola2isis.pl (pedr.b or pedr.lis) mola.tbl [mola.asc]
             (moc.imq or moc.cub or (start_time end_time))
             [pedrDir] [overwrite/rename]

Examples:
mola2isis pedr=m0203098.lis tbl=m0203098.tbl from=m0203098.imq
          pdir=/work3/mgs/mola/data over=overwrite

mola2isis m0203098.lis m0203098.tbl -- m0203098.imq -- --
          /work3/mgs/mola/data overwrite

mola2isis.pl  m0203098.lis m0203098.tbl m0203098.asc 203098.imq

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Parm	Description
FROM	The input MOC filename in this parameter must have the ".imq" or ".cub" file extension. This determines whether the input file is in original PDS format or ISIS cube format. mola2isis will find all of the mola ground points in the pedr file (specified by PEDR parameter) that corresponds to the coverage of the MOC image.
PEDR	PEDR file corresponding to MOC image or START, STOP time range. This file is identitifed by the mocsearh procedure and can be downloaded from the ftp site by the mocftp procedure.
TBL	Filename of the output binary table file of the extracted MOLA PEDR data based on the time range of the input MOC image (FROM). The output is in ISIS binary format.
ASC	The value specifies the filename of the ascii MOLA table file. The output is in ISIS ascii format. This parameter is optional. The default is null resulting in no creation of the ascii table file.
PDIR	PDIR is the local directory location of the input MOLA PEDR file. The default null assumes the user's current directory.
START	Optional Parameter. Either FROM or START,STOP parameters must be specified. J2000 time of start of data coverage. If start is specified then STOP must also be specified.
STOP	J2000 time of end of data coverage. If stop is specified then START mus also be specified.
EXISTS	overwrite any existing MOLA.tbl MOLA.asc
