We have just posted the results which comprise the bulk of our 1992 annual
report to the anonymous ftp area of CDDIS.  The full text will be available 
on CDDIS and in hard copy by the end of the year.  A list of the files now
available followed by instructions for obtaining them via anonymous ftp are
found below.

Information for obtaining GSFC VLBI results from CDDIS via anonymous FTP:


Summary for the experts:

hostname:       cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov   (This is a vax)
user:           anonymous
password:       <your email address>

Subdirectories:  
     VLBIGSFC.ANNUAL92  (1992 GSFC VLBI annual report)
     VLBIGSFC.ANNUAL91  (1991 GSFC VLBI annual report)
     VLBIGSFC.IERS92    (1992 GSFC VLBI annual submission to the IERS) 
     VLBIGSFC.IERS91    (1991 GSFC VLBI annual submission to the IERS) 

Each of these directories contain files of quasar source positions, station
positions and velocities, and Earth orientation, polar motion, and nutation 
parameters.  ANNUAL92 also includes baseline results, station descriptions,
latitudes and longitudes, a summary of VLBI observing sessions, and mobile
VLBI eccentricity data.

****************************************************************************

Detailed instructions for ftp novices:

The cddis is a vax.  Being largely unfamiliar with their operating system,
and not knowing how much you might know about it either, here are rote
instructions for obtaining files by anonymous ftp.  My apologies if the 
instructions are too elementary. 

'' enclose what you would literaly type.  
<> enclose information specific to yourself.

Connect to the ccdis via ftp: 'ftp cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov'

Log on as name:  'anonymous' 
Use password:  <your email address> 

You will find yourself in the anonymous ftp area. 

Obtain a directory listing:  'DIR' 
Change your directory to VLBIGSFC.ANNUAL92:  'cd VLBIGSFC.ANNUAL92' 
                      or VLBIGSFC.ANNUAL91
                      or VLBIGSFC.IERS91 
                      or VLBIGSFC.IERS92 
Note that there are other nonVLBI geodetic results available as well.

Obtain a directory listing:  'DIR'

If there are any files within the directory named README or CONTENTS, it is
highly recommended that you copy them to your computer, quit ftp, and read
them using your own software, before proceding.

at the ftp prompt: 'get README'
Then, when the ftp prompt returns type: 'quit'

Or if you already know which file you want: 'get <filename>'

Once you have identified the files that you want, and have verified that there
is room for them in your file system, you can repeat the above steps to obtain
the files you want.  Your ftp may also have the command 'mget' (multiple get)
which allows you to use the wildcard character (*) as a substitute for part,
or all of a file name, or part, or all of a file extent, in order to copy many
files with one command.

For example: 'mget *.866'
should copy all of the files with the extent .866 to your system.
and: 'mget eop*.*' 
should copy all files whose names begin with eop to your system.

In general, we can also send out data on IBM PC compatible diskettes, upon
request.

A transcription of an anonymous ftp session retrieving the file README, is
appended to this message.
