Re: Mark IV operation under linux

It runs for me :-).

Not exactly. This is what I was getting to in my previous queries of how you
wanted to run the scope. Right now, you need to program a little Perl to use my
software. I've attached the Perl script I use nightly (called night.pl) to run
ROB.
I've also attached the position file my software maintains, and the
configuration file it uses.

I use a variant of downfits that adds no additional information. The info that
goes into the fits header is generated by the Perl modules that you probably
don't want to mess with (or I wouldn't want you messing with?).
I've attached the header file for a recently generated fits image. If something
is obviously missing, let me know now and it'll be there by the time you're
ready for it.

My Perl modules are broken into two pieces. A 'driver' which implements the
actual STAMP commands, and the 'controller' which uses the driver to do useful
things (move, take pictures, etc...).
