Notices of FTOOLS Releases

Notices of the FTOOLS Releases, online HTML versions of FTOOLS documentation (like this document), the official FAQ, and other goodies are available on the World Wide Web at:

http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftools/ftools_menu.html

This is where the most up to date FTOOLS information is available, including the continually updated FAQ. Users should always check here first for answers to questions.

Notices of FTOOLS Releases, patches, and other bits of important information can also be obtained by an electronic mail exploder. The list is called ftoolsnotes. If you'd like to have your name added, send a message to listserv@athena.gsfc.nasa.gov requesting this action. This message should be sent from the account and host for which you would like to receive the notices. Leave the subject blank and include in the body of your request the following:

where <e-mail address> is replaced by your actual e-mail address.
