This is version 1.2 of select.  The following improvements
have been made since the alpha version.

1.  Some of the directory handling has been cleaned up on the
    Cygwin version.
2.  Michael Sallman developed a 'png' command which permits
    the creation of .png files.
3.  Michael Sallman developed a 'ps' command which will permit
    the creation of .ps files.
4.  Some indirect references to directories were included both
    my Michael and myself to make things a little less 'hard
    wired'.

What remains:

1.  There is still no coverage for long-term multiple julian
    date datafiles.  For the moment, a single julian date is about
    as much as select will handle cleanly.  Multiple julian dates
    give unpredictable behavior.

My apologies for taking so long to release this version.  I have
had Michael's changes for a little while.

====================================================================
This is the alpha distribution of the select viewer
to quickly move through star V/I measurement lists created
by Tom Droege's collect_star.pl routine.  It is provided to
give folks an opportunity to use it while it is being polished,
so bear in mind it has some problems.

This version permits you to:

	o  Move easily from one measurement to another using
		either the 'n' key or <cr> to preview measurements.
	o  Easily make plots of the current dataset.
	o  Save measurement data to a separate file.
	o  Advance forward to a given set of measurements.
        o  Enter the measurement filename on the command line.
	o  The program automatically scales the Y range of the
                plot.
	

Planned features:

	o  Save plots as .png files
	o  Move backwards (towards the beginning of) the data file
        o  Permit the use of larger datasets (multiple days)

Contents:

	selectun.pl    Unix/Gnuplot version
        selectcy.pl    Cygwin/wgnuplot version

Requirements:

You will of course need to have created a star list using collect_star.pl.

Depending upon the system you are running, you will need to obtain a 
copy of gnuplot or wgnuplot, and ensure that it is working.

Install the selectxx.pl program in a directory where it can be found
by your default path.

Run and enjoy.
