Volume Bundles at the PDS Rings Node
-
To facilitate downloading entire data volumes, the PDS Rings
Node provides "bundled" volumes. The bundled volumes are
in .tar.gz format meaning that they are Unix tar files
further compressed using gnuzip.
-
There are a large number of compression programs
that will handle this scheme. Unix, Linux, and Mac OS-X
operating systems generally come with suitable software.
Windows users who need a tool to access these files might
consider the open software utility
7-zip
which, during testing here, opened the largest of our
bundles with no difficulties.
