Please find in the NODC incoming ftp site a file named ac98.tar.gz.
This file is a gzipped SUN tar file containg CTD and bottle data
collected in the Indonesian Seas in 1998.  Said tar file contains
a description file ac98.txt, attached to this email for easy
reference, a C code program, rwnodc.c, used to convert the data to
space delimitered ASCII files to facilitate fortran recoding.
25 files containing CTD data, ac98.038 to ac98.062, and 24 files
containing rosette bottle data, ac98.039 to ac98.062.  Please let
me know if you require resubmission in any other format or if there
are any questions.

ps - i just added a new line to ac98.txt and was unable to overwrite
the file in you ftp site.  the attached version has the added line.
the added line states that station s8 has no bottle data and no bottle 
ata file.
