1993 Nov 18 VSD Restructured PERIOD subdirectories. Now only 4
subdirectories -- .FOR, .HLP, .DOC and .SYS. The
first three directories contain the fortran source
code, help files and user documents (as before). The
.SYS directory contains the executable image and the
command procedures for initialising and making the
PERIOD package.
1993 Nov 18 VSD Restructured the command procedures. There are now
only two: PERIOD_START.COM and PERIOD_MAKE.COM
(which calls PERIOD_MAKE.OPT). This is to bring it
more into line with STARLINK standard.
PERIOD_START.COM now defines the new directories
and defines a new logical PERIOD_DISK.
PERIOD_MAKE.COM compiles, creates and fills the
object library, links and then deletes the object
files and object library.
1993 Nov 18 VSD To bring into line with STARLINK, the PERIOD
initialisation command is now PERIODSTART (and not
PERIOD_START).
1994 Jan 15 VSD Included a new subroutine PERIOD_CASE which converts
strings from lower to upper case. Replaces calls
to the VAX/VMS specific STR\$UPCASE.
1994 Jan 24 VSD Modified PERIOD_STRING and PERIOD_SINFIT so as not
to crash when presented with windowed data. All
PERIOD_PERIOD options can now either cope with
windowed data or else report an error.
1994 Jan 25 VSD Changes made to PERIOD_DOC files. This file
converted to \LaTeX\ and renamed PERIOD_HISTORY.TEX.
PERIOD_SYSTEM.TEX renamed to SSN167.TEX and
rewritten to reflect above changes. SUN167.TEX also
rewritten to reflect above changes. PERIOD_USER.TEX
(the old Sussex LUN) deleted.
1994 Jan 26 VSD Changes made to PERIOD_INPUT so that if it finds
x-axis data which is not in ascending order, it
prompts users for whether they would like to sort
it or not. If they do, it sorts the data using
PERIOD_SHELLSORT. If not, it aborts as before.
Follows suggestions by Ed Zuiderwijk (RGO).
1994 Feb 1 VSD Following extensive testing, VERSION 4.0 of PERIOD
released to incorporate the above changes.
Installed on ING Vax and copies sent to STARLINK
(RLVAD::STAR) and Amsterdam (ERIK@astro.uva.nl).
