This map was produced by Tony Banday and Gary COMMENT Hinshaw in 1998 as follows. The final 4-year time-ordered COMMENT differential data archive was converted to a calibrated archive COMMENT in FITS format (the DMR 'CIO' data). The WMAP prototype map-making COMMENT software was adapted to the DMR experiment and used to generate COMMENT these maps using the HEALPix tessellation of the sky. As a check, COMMENT the same archive and code were used to generate maps in the COMMENT original COBE quad-cube pixelization. These latter maps agreed with COMMENT the officially released COBE-DMR maps to numerical precision.
