COBE Software Documents

Users of the COBE Guest Investigator Software (CGIS) should be familiar with the following documents:

CGIS Software User's Guide (version 2.2)
CGIS Software Catalog (version 1.0)

Equivalent Postscript, ASCII, and WordPerfect versions of these documents are available. (There is also a COBE Guest Investigator Handbook [Postscript] [ASCII] [Word] Postscript version of figures: a1, a2, a3, c1, c2, c3, c4 -- but this is now largely obsolete.)

If you have trouble printing the Postscript files, try downloading them in binary mode and deleting the first line of each file. The WordPerfect files must be transferred in binary mode.

Access is provided below to the individual document files:
