FTOOLS Developer's Checklist

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.

How to make the yourtask.txt file from the IRAF file:

Enter the IRAF package 'system'
cd to the directory with yourtask.hlp

type:

help yourtask.hlp fi+ page=no device="text" > yourtask.txt
