After several months SOPAC is nearing completion of it's plan to adopt the
Hatanaka, or compressed RINEX, file compression strategy for ALL of its
archived RINEX observation files.  Currently, ALL observation files on
SOPAC's archive, prior to year 2001, have been converted to compressed
RINEX format...only 2001 remains.

This message is meant to inform the GPS community that SOPAC will now be
converting "current" observation data files (i.e. 2001) to compressed
RINEX format beginning as soon as possible.  For those users who prefer
standard unix-compressed files we plan to offer two copies of each file
for a period of 60 days, after which only the Hatanaka-compressed RINEX
observation file will remain.  The 60 day window will gradually diminish
in length over the next few months to a span of 0 days, marking the end of
SOPAC's archiving "o.Z" files.

Please send questions or concerns to archive at josh.ucsd.edu.

Best Regards,

Michael
