nofat [directory]

DESCRIPTION

This C-shell script removes temporary files such as *.acq *.temp *.best *.zero from the data directory. It also consolidates all pht, coo and cand files into archives. Finally it compresses all FITS files in order to conserve disk space.

The action will take place in the current working directory unless a directory is specified on the command line at which time the scripts cd's to that directory.

nofat is invoked by daily.csh and should be used before writing an archive tape.
