0README.TXT template

0README.TXT file for each directory to describe directory contents and point to directories below and back to higher directories and other info (mostly from John Cooper).
Keep short (point to 0README_LONG.TXT when longer file required to contrast various instruments or datasets.
Use <> around URLs and "/" at end for directories.
Use URLs to point to software and documentation.
Remember that user may come into hierarchy at any level so each 0README.TXT needs to stand alone and place the user in hierarchy.
We will review issue of automatic display at later time.

Dynamics Explorer 2 (DE-2) Magnetometer-B (MAGB) 62ms VMS binary dataset

Extended README: <ftp://nssdcftp.gsfc.nasa.gov/spacecraft_data/de/de2/magnetic_fields_magb/gms_62ms_vmsbin/0README_LONG.TXT>

Keywords: space physics, triaxial fluxgate magnetometer data, ionosphere, magnetosphere

The data (and orbit-attitude parameters) are in 400 daily files in fixed-length VMS binary format, with filenames indicating the date with day of year (where 001=January 1).
