EDR products archived on this volume are copies of images released by the Viking Project. The data were recovered from the original 9-track tapes made for the Lander imaging team. The file format, however, has been converted from the original VICAR format to a PDS format. Errors and anomalies in reading the original tapes are noted where detected.
The CD-ROM has been formatted so that a variety of computer systems (e.g., PC, Macintosh, and Sun) may access the data. Specifically, it is formatted according to the ISO-9660 level 1 Interchange Standard. For further information, refer to the ISO-9660 Standard Document: RF# ISO 9660-1988, April 15, 1988.
