Dear IGS colleagues,

I would like to inform an updated of the RINEX compress/uncompress
programs (RNX2CRX and CRX2RNX) from ver 2.4.2 to 2.4.3.
The old version (2.4.2) of RNX2CRX crushes if more than 9 data
types are contained in RINEX files. It is caused by a primitive
error in the source code for handling of continuation of
"# / TYPES OF OBSERV" lines. The same bug is in the
CRX2RNX, too. The bug does not have any influence
if number of the data types is less than 10.

The bug-fixed version (2.4.3) of the software is now available
from following address:

ftp://terras.gsi.go.jp/software/RNXCMP_2.4.3/

It have been tested on LINUX, HP-UX11.00, SUN Solaris. 5.6,
and Windows 95/98/XP, so far. Source codes are also avairable
so that users can compile them if the binaries for other
OS are needed. (See docs/README for more detail
on the compilation).

I apporogize for troubles you may have for the bug.

Best Regards,
Yuki

P.S. Accomodation of the compression format and
programs for RINEX version 3.0 is now under the developement.
