Contents of this directory:
==========================
README.calib	     # This file
calib_src.tar.gz     # Compressed tar file with calibration data (FITS format).

IMPORTANT NOTE:
==============
The ESO calibration data is available and ready to be used (MIDAS bdf format)
for all supported UNIX systems under the subdirectory containing the MIDAS 
release in binary format.

INSTALLATION:
=============
MIDAS must be installed first.
The calibration data is release_independent and it has
to be decompressed/untarred in the $MIDASHOME, e.g /midas or equivalent:
The installation populates the /midas/calib/data directory, which is the one
used by the calibration procedures of MIDAS.

  % cd /midas 	 			(or equivalent $MIDASHOME)
  % gunzip calib_src.tar.gz		(uncompress)
  % tar xvf calib_src.tar		(the ./calib/raw and ./calib/install)
					(directories will be created)
  % cd calib/install

  (In C-Shell environment:)
  % setenv MIDASHOME /midas		(or equivalent)
  % source dbassign.csh

  (In Bourne-Shell environment:)
  % MIDASHOME=/midas ; export		(or equivalent)
  % . dbassign.sh

  (In VMS systems:)
  % set def MID_DISK:['MIDASHOME']
  % @ dbassign.com

  % inmidas 				(start Midas in the calib/install dir.)
  Midas 001> @@ caldb 		        (all calibration tables)
  Midas 001> @@ filters 	        (all filter tables)
  Midas 002> bye

Once all your calibration data has been installed you can remove the 
directories /midas/calib/raw and /midas/calib/install:

  % cd /midas/calib
  % rm -rf raw install
