Software Conditions

I hold the copyright to any software developed before I started my employment with AURA (1997 and earlier). Subsequent software fall under the AURA copyright conditions.

If you have found any of the programs useful for your research, and have used them for a publication, then please provide an appropriate acknowledgment to me an my collaborators (as listed in the manual to each package).

If you use the software, then email me your address, so that I can send you revisions and bug reports.
Please email me reports of new bugs and of additions that you have made to the software, and send me your questions.

Please do not accept this software from third parties, and do not distribute it to third parties. People should get the software from my website, to ensure that the latest version is being distributed.

All programs come without guarantee and on an `as is' basis. The programs are not being actively maintained or upgraded.

All programs were developed and tested on a Sun UNIX workstation running either the SunOS or Solaris operating system. It is not guaranteed that the software will work without problems on other platforms, with different operating systems and different compilers. However, the code is close to standard fortran, so if any, only minor revisions will be necessary.
Some of the programs require linking to common astronomical software libraries, such as IRAF or MONGO. I cannot provide these software if they are not available at your institution.
