... 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. ...

. To append the standard output from a command to a file use two >> (greater than) symbols followed by the name of the file. If the file does not exist it is created. For example: cat part1 > chapt2 cat part2 >> chapt2 . This creates a file called chapt2 with the same contents as part1 . It then reads the contents of part2 and appends them to the file chapt2 . The file chapt2 now contains the data from part1 followed by the data from part2 .

SAOtng supports FITS files internally, so that a standard FITS image file can be sent directly to SAOtng for display using XPA: xpaset SAOtng Also, when a new file name is sent to SAOtng, the program checks the first 2880 bytes of the file to see if it is a FITS file and if so, processes it accordingly. Support for other image file formats (or any other image format) is added to SAOtng by writing two external file access programs: . ... The command-line of the image section program . ...
