INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DSS.

Version 2.54 (Jun 06, 2001)

Please refer to the README.html file for information about the package.

Below are the short installation instructions for the ESO/ST-ECF
version of "dss", a software originally produced by STScI for
extracting data from the Digital Sky Survey.

This distribution includes versions of this software for HP/UX (10.20),
Solaris (2.6), SunOS (4.1.4) and for Linux (x86 platforms).
This installation requires about 50MB of disk space.

The changes made in this version with respect to the original ones are 
the following:

o  support for the red and blue  and IR dss2 surveys.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

cd /scisoft			# Or whatever place you choose
mv dss dss-old                  # only if you had dss before


#
# get the software using your favorite tool at the following address:
#

cd <where-dss-should-be-installed>  # e.g., /scisoft

ftp://ftp.eso.org/archive/pub/dss/dss.tar.gz

gunzip -c dss.tar.gz | tar xf - 

cd dss
cp scripts/dss1dsk      /usr/local/bin/dss1
cp scripts/dss2dvd      /usr/local/bin/dss2

#  or where ever your put your local executables
#  (You might need root priviledges)



# Please change /usr/local/bin/dss1 and dss2
#  to reflect the exact software location if
# /scisoft is not the final location of the software.
# for example:
#     

setenv DSS_ROOT /usr/local/dss


# Each of the "bin.$ARCH" sub-directory contains 1 executable: the dss
# program itself


That should do.

You can now use "dss1" to access the 1st, 25 micron sky survey or
"dss2" to access the second epoch survey at 15 micron resolution.

Again please read the README.html file for information about how to
best use these applications.
