Instructions for Completing and Submitting IVS Configuration Files
==================================================================
990622 NRV First draft version
990713 nrv Add Himwich's name.

All IVS components are asked to fill out a configuration form that
provides detailed information about their station, operation center,
correlator, data center, analysis center, or technology development
center.

Template files currently available are:

 File name      Component type    Contact for questions
 ns-config.txt  Network Stations  Network Coordinator,
                                  Ed Himwich (weh@ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov)

Instructions:

1. Download the blank ascii form in the appropriate configuration 
file for your component type.

2. Fill in the information. If you have questions about what to
include in any part of the form please contact the person listed
above or the Coordinating Center (ivscc@ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov).

3. When you have completed the form, e-mail it to the Coordinating
Center ivscc@ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov. The CC will put the file on the
ftp server in the directory

   ftp://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/config

A link to the configuration file will be added to your component name 
in the component tables on the main IVS web page.

4. When you have a significant change in your component's configuration,
please download the current version, make the changes, and e-mail the
form to ivscc@ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov. Old versions of the configuration
files will be archived.

5. We will eventually have web-based forms for each section of the
configuration file. You can fill out the form and submit it instead
of working on the ASCII file.
