There are numerous MATLAB m-files included in this software package. Thus, the the authors have bund

function A = ReadEphPrecise(varargin)
%function A = ReadEphPrecise(A,sFileName_1 ... sFileName_n)

%ReadEphPrecise reads precise ephemeris (coordinates and clock corrections) from sp3
%file
%A = ReadEphPrecise(A,sFileName) 
%A instance of class CoordEph, which is container of coordinate ephemeris
%sFileName 1 ... n - file(s) containing sp3 ephemeris
%A is to be used in CompStdOrb
