This announcement describes the 2001SEP20 release of the MXTOOLS package
for IRAF.
The following files have been placed on the IRAF anonymous FTP contribution
web site:
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/contrib/mxtools.README # installation instructions
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/contrib/mxtools.tar.Z # main tar file (without binaries)
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/contrib/mxtools-bin.sparc-tar.Z # SPARC binaries tar file
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/contrib/mxtools-bin.ssun-tar.Z # SunOS binaries tar file
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/contrib/mxtools-bin.redhat-tar.Z # Redhat binaries tar file
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/contrib/mxtools-bin.alpha-tar.Z # Alpha binaries tar file
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/contrib/mxtools-bin.hp700-tar.Z # HP700 binaries tar file
The installation instructions are given for (1) IRAF managers for system-wide
installation of the MXTOOLS as a standard IRAF package, and (2) individual
users who want a private installation of MXTOOLS for their personal use.
Any comments/suggestions and bug reports would be greatly appreciated.

===== 2001SEP20 RELEASE NOTES =================================================
The latest release of MXTOOLS features several new tasks including
psfprep - Convert a PSF image into the MATPHOT PSF format.
psfobs - Simulate a CCD stellar observation using a MATPHOT PSF file.
psfg2d - Create a MATPHOT PSF file with a 2-d Gaussian PSF.
psfdelx - Compute the X partial derivative of a MATPHOT PSF file
psfdely - Compute the Y partial derivative of a MATPHOT PSF file
which are support tasks for the MATPHOT digital-PSF stellar photometry
algorithm which I will describe at the ADASS XI meeting oral session
on Science & Analysis (Tuesday, October 2).
