Usage: acunorm [-h][-?][-g] -i infile -o outfile -l left -t top -r right -b bottom
-i infile Specifies the RDF input image file
-o outfile Specifies the RDF output image file
-l left The left edge of a box of pixels to ignore during normalization
-t top The top edge of a box of pixels to ignore during normalization
-r right The right edge of a box of pixels to ignore during normalization
-b bottom The lbottom edge of a box of pixels to ignore during normalization
-g Goldstone may deliver a bad gate 0 that disrupts normalization.
Invoking acunorm with -g causes gate 0 to be interpolated before normalization..
-q Invoking acunorm with -q makes it run quietly.

In this case, run_num may not be unique, and the
day of observation must also be specified.

include/ directory. It removes
stale links and creates new ones.
Usage: /home/rosema/bin/acroread [options] [list of files]
Options:
-display
This option specifies the host and display to use.
-geometry [x][{+|-}{+|-}]
Size and/or location of the document windows.
-help
Prints the common command-line options.
-helpall
Prints out all command-line options.
-iconic
Launches in an iconic state on the desktop.
-toPostScript [-level2] pdf_file ... [ps_dir]
-toPostScript [-level2] -pairs pdf_file_1 ps_file_1 ...
-toPostScript [-level2]
Converts the given pdf_files to PostScript.
In the first form, if the last file specified is a directory,
then all preceding files will be converted to PostScript
and the generated PostScript files will be placed into ps_dir.
If a directory is not specified, then the PostScript files
will be placed in the same directory as the original file.
In the second form, the file list contains pairs, each
consisting of a PDF filename and a corresponding PostScript
filename.
The third form specifies a filter, reading a PDF file from
standard input and writing the PostScript file to standard
output.
The -level2 optional command line argument may be used to
indicate that Level 2 PostScript should be emitted. The
default is to emit Level 1 PostScript.
-xrm
Standard X Window System resource specification on command line.
Occasionally (when you try to save twice, maybe?) xpaint will write a
corrupted GIF file. To get around this you can save your files as PPM
and convert them to GIF using either xv or alchemy. It's probably a
good idea to look at your output file using xv _before_ you exit xpaint

Asteroid Radar Astronomy
Radar Detected Asteroids
From Steve Ostro:
I think any possibly useful software should be listed, even if the only
documentation is not so hot. E.g.,
VFIT - Ostro's fortran program to fit S(f) functions to echo spectra
It inputs a spectrum in *ff format (I think), initial values
and a priori errors for the four parameters (amplitude,
bandwidth, center freq, scattering-law exponent), and option
flags to tell the program the verbosity of printouts, how to
dampen motion through parameter space. Where is the compiled
program and what is the code to convert *cw or *rdf files
to *ff files?
raterr - calculates ratio of two numbers and uncertainties
according to Fieller's Theorem (Finney, D. J. 1964,
Statistical Method in Biological Assay, 2nd ed., Hafner,
New York, p. 24), as described in Ostro et al. 1983,
Astron. J. 88, 565-576.
dot - gives angle between two polar angles
pole - inputs asteroid i.d. number, position (RAH,RAM,RAS,
DECD,DECM,DECS), and ecliptic long, lat of pole, and returns
target-centered declination of viewer.
At least it's a start. Gotta keep people from reinventing the wheel,
like with Lance's program angle below.
