The MuIntro5 folder contains:

(a) This transmittal information.
    
(b) a Microsoft Word for Windows document entitled 'An Introduction to 
     MultiSpec'. 
    
(c) a small Thematic Mapper data set labeled TIPJUL1.LAN.
    
(d) a sample GIS file in the form of a ground truth map of the TM data 
     area, labeled JTIPSUB1.GIS, and one with the suffix .TRL, which 
     contains information used by the program such as color palette 
     information.

The document entitled 'An Introduction to MultiSpec' is the primary 
documentation for the program. It contains (a) a brief background 
statement, (b) a simple tutorial which uses the TM data set provided, 
(c) a section entitled Using MultiSpec, describing how to import data 
into the system and further illustrations of how a larger set of MultiSpec 
capabilities might be used, (d) a Reference section providing details 
on each item in each program menu, and (e) three appendices. 

This document was written for the Macintosh version of MultiSpec. The 
capabilities that currently exist in the Windows version contain dialog 
boxes that are similar to those for the Macintosh version. This document 
should at least help until a Windows version of the Intoduction is available.

We are currently maintaining significant additional documentation about 
the theory and application of MultiSpec and also update information for 
MultiSpec on the World Wide Web at the following URL:
