LSK

MEX Files

Last update: 22 MAR 2004
This "aareadme.txt" file describes the contents of the KERNELS/LSK
directory. It also provides the file naming conventions used for the
MEX LSK kernels, and it provides identification of the most current
version of LSK files.
The LSK file is modified every time a new Leapsecond is announced by the
International Earth Rotation Service (IERS).
All LSK files (*.TLS) contained in this directory are unix text files.
These may be used in a non-compatible text environment by using the ASCII
mode of FTP to port the file. [Ref 2b]
Contact Jorge Diaz del Rio ([e-mail]) or Joe Zender
([e-mail]) if you have any questions.
