This page is intended as a repository of documents for my collegues, before these documents become "cast in stone". So, most of what you see here is under development or available somewhere in the official AIPS++ (or jump to: Released, Stable, Weekly, or Daily or local Local (/aips++) Released versions). web site. It should most certainly not be referred to.

• The BIMA AIPS++ specifications are intended to enumerate the requirements of BIMA (specifically those that deal with interferometry, but excluding image analysis and processing) within the AIPS++ project. (this document needs updates)
• I'm mostly working on the bimafiller, but please, don't run mktree -s when your sourcecode isn't checked in yet. As part of this effort the miriad uvio program will have a scanning option to verify the internal consistency of the dataset (it turns out this is needed given the way how the bimafiller (will) work.
  May 2000: Since MS v2 has now been cast in stone, bimafiller is being upgraded to output this format. At the same time the miriad library will need a few minor updates too.

• The is a somewhat outdated BIMA cookbook for BIMA, but you should consult various cookbook and introductory documents that are now available in the standard AIPS++ documentation sections.

• [OLD NOTES] AIPS++ installation: my personal experiences. We are running it on a sun4sol_gnu architecture, with the Solaris 2.5 operating system. You can browse our makedefs file (it often takes a few tries to get this file right).
• My laptop redhat62 makedefs file, which took some time to put together....
• We keep a local UMD ftp mirror with the latest release, and perhaps some supporting utilities that the beta release may not supply. (see also other downloads)
• An evolving document on DDQ (dynamic tablebrowser), currently implemented as tabview in NEMO. Together with xgobi this should give a very nice way to browse tabular data. Nicest would be to combine both, but we're working on that (vaporware).
• LinkWinds (lw) is a very nice program to browse image data, and in some areas complements our AipsView program. I've been quite impressed with lw, and we maintain a local version.
• Our collegues at CERN have developed a system called ROOT which on the lower levels parallels many of the things AIPS++ addresses.
• Here are my aips++ goodies:
  • aipsds9, simply "include aipsds9.g" and send an image to the DS9 server using e.g. "ds9('map8.psf') from the glish shell.
