fitsutil nhedit versus imutil nhedit

Kathleen Labrie wrote on Nov 20, 2010

Hi,

How is imutil.nhedit different from fitsutil.nhedit?

Primarily, the IMUTIL version has a 'rename' parameter and the 'comfile' parameter expects a null string value (i.e. "") instead of the string "NULL" as is used in the GEMINI package. You can diff the code the see what else might be different.

Note that for v2.15 the FITSUTIL.NHEDIT task was moved to GMISC since that version is needed only for gemini support and the differences were causing problems for other packages when FITSUTIL was loaded.

Thanks for the information.

Is there any other tasks we rely on that have been moved around like that? We sort of like to know ahead of time, preferably.

Thanks,
Kathleen

COLOR and TABLES.TTOOLS (are now in the v2.15 core system as PROTO.COLOR and UTILITIES.NTTOOLS), NMISC is made obsolete (I don't think you use anything in there anyway), and libtbtables.a is in the core release. It'll all be in the release notes, otherwise I don't keep specific track of what tasks you use.
