16-Sep The IUE merged log has been updated to include
additional information on images processed at Vilspa. The latest
versions for unix, decunix, and windows are available from the
anonymous ftp account on archive.stsci.edu.
09-Oct The following programs were implemented as a result
of y2k software testing:
DATECONV added 'newfits' mode, use 4
(rather than 2) digit dates internally, and add
a 4th input string format option
YDTOYMD correct leap year calculation and output dates
in YYYYMMDD format for other centuries (mainly replaced
by DATECONV)
FDATE fix leap year test and bug found for years
1900-1909 (mainly replaced by DATECONV)
IUNJD fix leap year calculation
KEYGEN call DATECONV for date conversions instead of FDATE
FINDELT add comment about non-y2k compliance
GEXCAL use DATECONV for date conversions fluxes
JULDATE add prolog information to Julian date
IDBDATE correct leap year calculation to julian date
& yr & dayof yr
IDBFPARSE call DATECONV rather than the astron
routine DATE_CONV(?)
09-Oct A new version of BARKER was implemented which
prevents errors in splicing short wavelength LWP orders (data
overflow error).
10-Nov A new version of IUEFHRD was implemented which
corrects the
test for the END keyword and allows up to 15 extension headers to be
extracted.
04-Jan Use new DATE keyword format in following
FITS-related programs by using "NEWFITS" mode in calls to
DATECONV: GEXCAL, IUEDAF, and
KEYGEN. Also, correct typo in IDBFPARSE
(i.e., call DATECONV, not DATE_CONV).
08-Jan Because of disk drive changes on the LASP cluster,
the following
startup files were modified: IDL.COM, IDL_LOGIN.COM, IUERDAF.COM,
USER_LOGIN.COM, IDL_STARTUP.PRO and IC_STARTUP.PRO.
12-Jan The following FITS-writing programs were modified
to support the conversion of IMAPS data to FITS format:
IFITSWRT - add /append and /extkey options
IMXGEN - correct position of PCOUNT and GCOUNT keywords
IUE3DRD - make repeat count a longword integer and
correct tdim calculation
IUE3DROW - make repeat count a longword integer and
correct tdim calculation
25-Mar A bug was found in the program DATECONV
which is used to convert dates to the
new FITS date format. The old version of
DATECONV only wrote one digit for hours
when the hour value was < 10.
The new version replaces the preceding blank with a 0.
