Preliminary Requirements

Prior to running the program, a number of environment variables should be properly set. These are normally set by default by running the /home/sage0/programs/.egretrc file from the user's .cshrc file. The specific environment variables that are needed and their respective default values are:

   EGRET_DIR .......................... /analysis1
   EGRET_PROGRAMS ..................... /home/sage0/programs
   SMDB_DIR ........................... /analysis2/data/smdb
   SELECT_DIR ......................... /analysis1/data/select
   MISC_DIR ........................... /analysis1/data/misc
   FITS_DIR ........................... User writable FITS directory

To manually set an environment variable, use the setenv command e.g.

setenv FITS_DIR ~userid/fits

The program will use these variables to access executables, windows and I/O files as follows. It must also be able to write the namelist.map file under the current directory to store the user input in a namelist.

   EGRET_DIR/bin/mapgen ............... User input program
   EGRET_DIR/bin/mapgen.exe ........... Main program
   SMDB_DIR/*.......................... SMDB input data file (if selected)
   SMDB_DIR/catalog ................... SMDB catalog (if selected)
   SELECT_DIR/*........................ SELECT input data file (if selected)
   SELECT_DIR/catalog ................. SELECT catalog (if selected)
   FITS_DIR/counts.*.g* ............... FITS output file
   MISC_DIR/timeline .................. Timeline file
   EGRET_PROGRAMS/sequence/fits.seq ... FITS sequence file
