This chapter describes the Developer's Interface of the SPA in detail. It will be of most use to users who wish to interface with existing SPA subprograms (for simplified reading / writing and manipulation of datasets) or to extend the archive to include additional features. The tools provided with the MetCal to implement the Developer's Interface (see for a complete description) have already been described, and it is assumed in this chapter that the user is familiar with their implementation.
