What You Need to Have a Completed FTOOL
- Source Code for New Task (This should, naturally, compile cleanly)
- Makefile (use one from the latest development version as a template since these can change)
- yourtask.hlp (IRAF help page in IRAF format)
- yourtask.txt (HOST help page in ASCII format/create with IRAF
see below)
- parameter file with "distribution" values for defaults
- a one line description of the task for the summary help pages
Place all of the above in a tar file mirroring the ftools directory
structure and send mail to ftoolshelp@olegacy.gsfc.nasa.gov
telling us where to get it.
- Enter the IRAF package 'system'
- cd to the directory with yourtask.hlp
- type:
help yourtask.hlp fi+ page=no device="text" > yourtask.txt
