Pointing Programs on the JCMT VAXes


There are several programs available that display or analyze pointing data, and they are all accessed through the DCL command

          jpoint           =           @ jcmt_seed:[pointing]jpoint.com

Jpoint is defined as a symbolic name upon login, and it drives a menu with the options tabulated below. The menu options usually call a .com (DCL) program of that name, which in turn call a Fortran program, of the same name, to do the number crunching and (PGPLOT) to do the displays :
