The programs catget, what_tape and copyfrf

The program catget creates a catalogue which spans the period between the noted start and stop times. The program what_tape reads the catalogue and creates a listing of the tapes containing this data. Finally, for users at Leicester, the program copyfrf copies the required FRFs from the directory /ginga2/ginga/frf/acnnnn to your working directory and uncompresses them. Users at a remote site must download the FRFs from ARNIE or browse to their current working directory. The programs catget, what_tape and copyfrf can be accessed from qcl in the normal way. The following is an example of their use:

qcl>catget

The start and stop times should be prefix with the letter G (Gregorian date) or M (Modified Julian Date). Gregorian dates should be in the form Gyy mm dd hh mm ss mmm. Any ommited fields will be set to zero, so G87 4 23 3 10 would be interpreted as 87/4/23 3:10:00.000. PMODE changes the mode of QCL. A PMODE value of zero usually prompts for all parameter values unless they are set prior to running the program. A PMODE value of two will prompt for every parameter value, regardless of whether it has been set prior to running the program (if the parameter value is set then that value is used as the default). A PMODE value of one is no longer used.
