check to see when TASS cameras were taking data




  There's a new item on the TASS "Access the database" page

         http://a188-l009.rit.edu/tass/dbms_access.html

  If you choose "Check to see when TASS cameras were active",

         http://a188-l009.rit.edu/tass/test_timeobs.html

then you can generate either a plot (by default), or an ASCII list,
or both, showing when each of the TASS cameras was running during
some specified time period.  This may be handy for people who 
are interested in some specific event.

  Please send me comments/suggestions -- I'd like to improve it 
so that it meets the needs of the people.

  One longer-range goal I'd like to implement is a means to 
use this list of cameras and times to figure out the _area on the sky_
that was being monitored as a function of time.  That would be very
useful for people interested in checking on GRBs, supernovae, etc.

  But that will take me a day or two, sometime in the future.
