MIDDAO/DAOPHOT                                                  10-May-1991 RHW

MIDDAO/DAOPHOT table  
	convert a MIDAS\ table into a DAOPHOT\ table
\us\pu  
Purpose:      
              MIDDAO takes xxx.TBL, looks for columns labelled X_COORD and
              Y_COORD (as produced, e.g., by cursor input), and creates
              the file xxx.COO (with two columns).

Syntax:       
              MIDDAO/DAOP table 
\ys\pa 
              table = input table containing (at least) two columns             
                      labelled X_COORD and Y_COORD.

Note:         
              DAOPHOT uses pixel coordinates, and the INVENTORY and MIDAS uses
              both world and pixel coordinates. Hence, in converting to MIDAS,
              the user can give start and step size values to accomplish this 
              transformation. Similarly, the reverse transformation can be 
              carried out, when creating a .COO files from a .TBL file.
\\
              The user must give start and step values by writing them into a
              double precision keyword TRANSF, before issueing the command
              DAOMID/DAOP or MIDDAO/DAOP. Unless altered by the user, the 
              keyword values will not normally change ina session.
