... Up: Software Systems and Tools . ... The Starlink Software is a collection of astronomical packages and utilities comprising over 120 separate components. When built, the system needs between 500 and 650 MB disk space (without source) making it ideal for distribution on CD-ROM. Each component has been individually packaged into an easy-to-install bundle for users to obtain over the Internet via a ``point and click'' WWW interface from the Starlink Software Store. ...

Next: The /var filesystem Up: Overview of the Directory Previous: The /dev directory . The /usr љ filesystem is often large, since all programs are installed there. All files in /usr љ usually come from a Linux distribution; locally installed programs and other stuff goes below /usr/local љ . This makes it possible to update the system from a new version of the distribution, or even a completely new distribution, without having to install all programs again. ... Almost all user commands. ...

Following are instructions to build and install the programs in this distribution. Make sure that you have all necessary tools for building executables. ... The automatic build process expects a configuration file called Config.local . ... The configuration file specifies the directory in which to install the binaries, as well as control over the generation of debugging code and reference clock support. ...

... The distribution of redshifts among the DXRBS FSRQs identified so far (Figure 3) is quite similar to that of the 1 Jy and S4 samples. ... A more thorough comparison will have to await completion of our survey and the convolution of the redshift distribution with the WGACAT sky coverage. As has already been mentioned by Hook et al. (1996), selecting flat-spectrum sources is an efficient way of finding high-redshift, radio-loud quasars. ...
