LHEA XANADU Guide
This page describes how to set yourself up to run the XANADU programs (xspec, xronos, ximage) on the LHEA network.

Sun or Dec workstations

From the Unix shell give the command :
genji.gsfc.nasa.gov> source /usr1/local/bin/xanadu.csh

This sets up all the environment variables required. Just type the program name to start your analysis.

We recommend that you do not put this source command in your .cshrc or .login because running it leads to disks being automounted, which you don't want to do unless you really are about to use the XANADU programs. If you can't remember the source command then add to your .login file a line like :
alias goxan "source /usr1/local/bin/xanadu.csh"
which will enable you to set up for XANADU by typing goxan.

VMS machines

The short answer here is "don't". The versions of XANADU programs on VMS are not as up-to-date as those available under Unix. If you do want to run on a VMS machine then the following three commands are required :
$ DEFINE EXT VMS
$ DEFINE/TRANS=CONC XANADU CASPER$DKA100:[XANDIST.]
$ @XANADU:[TOOLS]INITU
If you are running on an Alpha then replace VMS by AXP in the first command. Now just type the program name to start your analysis.
