INSTRUCTIONS

To build the NED client package on a UNIX system,
simply use the 'make' utility with the Makefile appropriate for 
your flavor of UNIX. Here we'll assume you are working on a Linux system:

make -f Makefile.linux

This compiles the following sample executables:

byname, name_resolver, nearposn, iau, nearname, ref, and ex_refcode.

Read the Users Guide documentation in the file NED_client.


To submit comments or questions send email to ned@ipac.caltech.edu.

HISTORY:

4) -Command line programs nedname and nedpos written for use in scripts
    using WCSTools library for coordinate and string conversions
    Doug Mink, SAO, 23-August-2004

3) -The port from Solaris to Linux (RH7.x) required different handling
    of double precision values in function ned_getdouble(d);
    see lines 151-153 of ned_cli.c. Joe Mazzarella, 04-Sep-2001

2) -Revisions for compilation on modern Linux OS (Redhat 7.0): 
    Use of fgets() rather than gets(), declaration of atoi(), 
    new Makefile.linux, etc. 
    compile via 'make -f Makefile.linux'
   -Fixed bug in ned_disconnect() being commented out in byname.c.
   -Fixed bug in ex_refcode.c: strlen(refcode) != 20 rather than 19
    Joe Mazzarella, IPAC, 23-Jul-2001

1) -Original package written by Xiuqin Wu, IPAC, 1994-1996
