Usually, the data are E-Mailed from Olga to R. Conkright and G. Talarski.
The following are a modification of the documentation that ROC supplied
for processing Russian (former USSR) monthly ionospheric data.

BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE UNZIPPED FILES AND THE
PROCESSED FILES (intermediate and final output files).

Aug 1995 will be used for this example.  The month, year and station names 
will need to be changed to correspond with the content each month.   
[prograns needed are - nutoiiwg.exe, iiwghdr.dat, pkunzip.exe, optsort.exe, 
fixcr.exe, isortcr.exe, mdriver.exe, median.exe, and sub.exe]
STARTING with year 2000 data, you will have to edit the NEWURSI file and
change the year from 3900 to 2000 or 3901 to 2001, etc., depending upon
the year of the data.
   >>>BE SURE THAT THE IIWGHDR.DAT FILE IS CORRECT; IT SHOULD BE FOR<<<
   >>>MANUAL OR AUTOMATED DATA.  THE SELDADS DATA FILE WITH THE     <<<
   >>>SAME NAME, IIWGHDR.DAT, IS FOR 'REAL-TIME' DATA.              <<<

1.  unzip - use the file called pkunzip.exe aug95.zip (files are like named 
950800.mos for 1995, Aug, foF2 moscow).  Use pkunzip -o fn>err or
pkunzip -o fn>yrmo.err so that you will have a copy of those files that have
an error.  Delete the error files and ask for them to be sent again.  There
have been no errors in several years.  The error file will serve as a basis
for what data files that need to be processed.
This 'error' file will also identify the stations that have been received.
The stations are needed for other processing 'programs'. 

2.  merge all characteristic (parameter) files into a station month file - do
      the following.  This documentation can be copied and the following can be
      put in a batch file and corrected for the specific stations that appear
      in your directory after using the unzip command on the appropriate file.
      If you have a batch file, (ie. combine.bat), be sure to edit it so that
      it reflects the stations that were unzipped from the original file
      for that specific month.  If you have other months in the same directory,
      move them to another directory, so that they do not get combined with
      the monthly data that you are processing.

COPY *.ros 1499508.RAW          (149=ros=Rostov)
COPY *.mos 1559508.RAW          (155=mos=Moscow)
COPY *.len 1609508.RAW          (160=len=Leningrad)
COPY *.ark 1639508.RAW          (163=ark=Arkhangelsk)
COPY *.lop 1689508.RAW          (168=lop=Loparskaya)
COPY *.ash 2379611.RAW          (237=ash=Ashkhabad)
COPY *.tas 2419508.RAW          (241=tas=Tashkent)
COPY *.sve 2569508.RAW          (256=sve=Sverdlovsk)
COPY *.sal 2669508.RAW          (266=sal=Salekhard)
COPY *.irk 3529508.RAW          (352=irk=IRKUTSK)
COPY *.nov 3559508.RAW          (355=nov=Novosibirsk)
COPY *.tom 3560109.RAW          (356=tom=Tomsk)
COPY *.pod 3629508.RAW          (362=pod=Podkamennaya)
COPY *.dix 3739508.RAW          (373=dix=Dikson)
COPY *.pre 3740109.RAW          (374=pre=Preobrazheniya)
COPY *.kha 5480109.RAW          (548=Khabarovsk)
COPY *.pet 5539508.RAW          (553=pet=Petropavlovsk)
COPY *.mag 5609508.RAW          (560=mag=Magadan)
COPY *.wel 6670109.RAW          (667=wel=Wellen)
COPY *.cap 6690109.RAW          (669=cap=Cape Schmidt)

NOW edit DIKSON (373), ie. 3739508.raw if present, and change all "DIXON "
to "DIKSON" before continuing to the next step. (There will not be CR/LF yet).
NOTES:  Ashkhabad (237) sometimes reports most of their foF2 values
        as '116'.
        Dikson (373) usually sends in 'C' for the whole month.
3.  add carriage returns and line feeds - do the following.  If you have
      a batch file, (ie. addcrlf.bat), be sure to edit it so that it
      reflects the stations that were unzipped from the original file
      for that specific month.

fixcr.exe 1490109.RAW 1490109.ust 120 1
fixcr.exe 1550109.RAW 1550109.ust 120 1

fixcr.exe 3740109.RAW 3740109.ust 120 1
fixcr.exe 5480109.RAW 5480109.ust 120 1
fixcr.exe 5530109.RAW 5530109.ust 120 1
fixcr.exe 5600109.RAW 5600109.ust 120 1
fixcr.exe 6670109.RAW 6670109.ust 120 1
fixcr.exe 6690109.RAW 6690109.ust 120 1

4.  Correct headers with optsort.exe - use the following batch file.  If
      you have a batch file, (ie. corrhdrs.bat), be sure to edit it so that
      it reflects the stations that were unzipped from the original file.

5.  Sort files with isortcr.exe - use the following batch file.  If
      you have a batch file, (ie. sortall.bat), be sure to edit it so that
      it reflects the stations that were unzipped from the original file
      for that specific month. Be sure that you are getting the latest
      '*.ust' file from the correct directory.

    If you have IONOPE.EXE, run this quality control program now.  You will
    probably have changes to make to at least one file.  Then, you can do
    the calculations of the monthly summaries (median, count, etc.)

    If you have IONOPE.EXE, run this quality control program now.  You will
    probably have changes to make to at least one file.  Then, you can do
    the calculations of the monthly summaries (median, count, etc.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    MONTHLY SUMMARIES (MEDIANS) are done by SPIDR II!
6.  Calculate Monthly summaries - use the following batch file. 

mdriver *.srt d:\temp   OR   (mdriver ???yrmo.srt d:\temp)

7.  rename file to standard ursi convention - - do the following.

copy d:\temp\*.srt *.nut

8.  Run a quality control program to display and correct any
    errors that may be present.  IF THERE ARE ERRORS, you must go back
    and recalculate the MONTHLY SUMMARIES.

9.  Convert to IWG format - do the following.

nutoiiwg.exe *.nut

    NOW check the nutoiiwg.err file for problems.  If you have
    errors, they must be corrected.  You can rerun most of the
    procedure, but run the individual station rather than the
    macro for all stations.
10. Edit your IWG files and correct the fmin factor of '0.01...' to
    ' 0.1...'!

11. Run hmf2.exe on the data file to produce the IDG file.

12. Transfer the data to the appropriate Linex directory and load
    the data.  Then, do an update so that the data are on SPIDR.
