  We present a study of the abundances and physical conditions in the
interstellar gas toward the heavily reddened star HD 192639 [E_(B-V) = 0.64],
based on analysis of FUSE and HST/STIS spectra covering the range from 912 to
1361 A. This work constitutes a survey of the analyses that can be performed to
study the interstellar gas when combining data from different instruments.
Low-velocity (-18 to -8 km/s) components are seen primarily for various neutral
and singly ionized species such as C I, O I, S I, Mg II, Cl I, Cl II, Mn II, Fe
II and Cu II. Numerous lines of H2 are present in the FUSE spectra, with a
kinetic temperature for the lowest rotational levels T_(01) = (90 +/- 10) K.
Analysis of the C I fine-structure excitation implies an average local density
of hydrogen n_H = (16 +/- 3) cm^-3. The average electron density, derived from
five neutral/first ion pairs under the assumption of photoionization
equilibrium, is n_e = (0.11 +/- 0.02) cm^-3. The relatively complex component
structure seen in high-resolution spectra of K I and Na I, the relatively low
average density, and the measured depletions all suggest that the line of sight
contains a number of diffuse clouds, rather than a single dense, translucent
cloud. Comparisons of the fractions of Cl in Cl I and of hydrogen in molecular
form suggest a higher molecular fraction, in the region(s) where H2 is present,
than that derived considering the average line of sight. In general, such
comparisons may allow the identification and characterization of translucent
portions of such complex lines of sight. The combined data also show
high-velocity components near -80 km/s for various species which appear to be
predominantly ionized, and may be due to a radiative shock. A brief overview of
the conditions in this gas will be given.
