This package contains the source code for the IUELoader demonstration program which converts MAST IUE mxlo files to VO Spectrum FITS format. How to use: 1) Install the SEDLib runtime libraries: These are needed by IUELoader and are in a separate downloadable package. mkdir -p /data1/vo/lib (for example) cd /data1/vo/lib wget http://vo.cfa.harvard.edu/soft/downloads/SEDLib_1.2_runtime-1.0.tar.gz tar xvzf SEDLib_1.2_runtime-1.0.tar.gz This generates the directory SEDLibRuntime which will contain various files including SEDLib_1.2_run.jar which is the one that you need. The package can also be downloaded from http://vo.cfa.harvard.edu/soft/#runtimepackage 2) Point to the the library jar: setenv CLASSPATH .:/data1/vo/lib/SEDLibRuntime/SEDLib_1.2_run.jar Be sure to include the current directory in the classpath 3) Install the IUELoader code: mkdir -p /data1/vo (for example) cd /data1/vo wget http://vo.cfa.harvard.edu/soft/downloads/iue-1.0.tar.gz tar xvzf iue-1.0.tar.gz cd iue This generates the iue/ directory containing various files including IUELoader.java which is our example program. (Obviously, if you're/ reading this README, it is likely you have already downloaded and untarred this package. If so, simply change into the "iue" directory and continue with the next step.) The package can also be downloaded from http://vo.cfa.harvard.edu/soft 4) Compile the code, linking to the libraries: javac -deprecation -cp $CLASSPATH IUELoader.java This makes the file IUELoader.class. An alternative way to build the code is to copy (or link) the SEDLib_1.2_run.jar file in the iue directory, and type: ant compile 5) Run the code: We'll use the example input file "data/lwr07177.mxlo", and create an output VO-compatible file "out.fits". java -cp $CLASSPATH IUELoader -f out.fits data/lwr07177.mxlo The program can also be run with this example file by typing ant run If you have and problems, questions, or suggestions, contact jcant@cfa.head.harvard.edu
