Special release of the GMOS no-preimaging IRAF tools

Gemini - September 6, 2007

This package is not an official patch.  It is distributed ahead of an
official release of the Gemini package exclusively for the GMOS-MOS PIs 
wishing to use data from other sources to define their GMOS-MOS mask.

This package should be unpacked on top an already existing GEMINI IRAF
package v1.9.1.   Instructions are given below.

This package contains the following files:

README-GMSK (this file)
gmos/mostools/data/msktrans.db
gmos/mostools/doc/app2objt.hlp
gmos/mostools/doc/gmskcreate.hlp
gmos/mostools/doc/gmskimg.hlp
gmos/mostools/doc/gmskxy.hlp
gmos/mostools/doc/mdfplot.hlp
gmos/mostools/doc/stsdas2objt.hlp
gmos/mostools/gmsk.tar.gz
gmos/mostools/gmskcreate.cl
gmos/mostools/gmskimg.cl
gmos/mostools/gmskxy.cl

INSTALLATION:

[1] Unzip the file

    % gunzip gemini-gmsk.tar.gz

[2] Method 1:
        Log into the CL from the IRAF account and unpack the archive file.  
        Change directories the GEMINI root directory and use 'rtar':
    
            cl> cd gemini
            cl> softools
            so> rtar -xrf <path>/gemini-gmsk.tar
    
        where <path> is the relative path from /iraf/extern/gemini to the
        downloaded file.
    
    Method 2:
        You can also unpack the file gemini-gmsk.tar from UNIX using the IRAF
        account.
        
            % cd /iraf/extern/gemini
            % tar xvf <path>/gemini-gmsk.tar
        
        where <path> is the relative path from /iraf/extern/gemini to the
        downloaded file.

[3] The new tools are part of the mostools package which itself is a member
    of the gmos package.  To use them, in CL load 'gmos' then 'mostools'. 
    Remember to 'unlearn mostools' before use.
    
        cl> gemini

        gm> mostools
        mo> unlearn mostools
