... This section describes how to copy a file between two VMS systems using the COPY command, and between a VMS system and another computer using FTP or Kermit. Remote file access may be made on either the file or record level, but only file level access is discussed here. To access a file, you use normal VMS commands, such as COPY or TYPE , but you specify the file name differently. ... It is also possible to automate your file transfers using scripts in conjunction with the Kermit TAKE command. ...

... AstroAsciiData is a Python module to handle ASCII tables. ... The idea to develop this Python module emerged from the fact that ASCII tables continue to be one of the most popular and widely used data exchange formats in astronomy and probably science in general. ... To load this ASCII table, go into Python, load the AstroAsciiData module and read in the table with: . ... demo = asciidata.open('webexa.txt') . ... Users who only want to work with ASCII tables neeed no further python modules. ...

... Preprocessor Compiler Control . ... This directive includes a file into code. ... include <file> or #include ``file'' . ... As another example if running program on MSDOS machine we want to include file msdos.h otherwise a default.h file. ... This is most often used with programs that translate other languages to C. For example, error messages produced by the C compiler can reference the file name and line numbers of the original source files instead of the intermediate C (translated) source files. ...

To create a simple alias: alias del='rm -i' del memo.txt rm: remove memeo.txt? y . This creates the alias del for the command rm -i which prompts you for confirmation that you want to remove a file before it does so. ...

... Input via keyin format is of the form keyword = value . ... The input keywords are not case sensitive. Most of the values required by SCHED, except for file names in case sensitive systems like unix, are also not case sensitive. keywords are, in all cases, limited to 8 characters in length. ... Keyin values can be mathematical statements in parenthesis; for example, dur = 15 rep = (4*5) This example shows the most likely way in which this capability might be used in SCHED input files. ...

... SFIT is a general-purpose code designed to optimize theoretical stellar spectra to an observed spectrum. ... While the programme expects input from "stdio", it is more natural to save commands in a file (eg "sfit_input") and run the code simply by . ... If the spectra to be fitted have a filename "star_spectrum", then the best fit spectrum will be written out, together with the renormalized input spectrum, to a file called "star_spectrum.fit". ... sets up model spectrum grid (and for 2nd star) . ...

... WIP is an interactive package with a simple to use interface designed to produce high quality graphical output.
