Although instructive, this procedure is impractical if one deals with thousands of stars. Therefore, ROMAFOT provides automatic procedures to substitute the many interactive operations needed to obtain the same result. These automatic commands are very useful provided they are not used as black boxes. On the contrary, even following the automatic way, the user can take advantage of facilities offered by the interaction. <P> The first operation which can be performed automatically is the search of the objects. ROMAFOT performs the operation with two modules: the first one, <TT>SKY/ROMAFOT</TT>, maps the sky; the second one, <TT>SEARCH/ROMAFOT</TT>, detects the objects above the sky. <P> <BR><HR> <!--Table of Child-Links--> <A NAME="CHILD_LINKS"> </A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2678" HREF="node98.html">SKY/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2679" HREF="node99.html">SEARCH/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2680" HREF="node100.html">GROUP/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2681" HREF="node101.html">FIT/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2682" HREF="node102.html">EXAMINE/ROMAFOT</A> </UL> <!--End of Table of Child-Links--> <BR><HR> <ADDRESS> <I>Petra Nass</I> <BR><I>1999-06-15</I> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
