No I didn't. I haven't tried loading any data in yet. I did the
initial compilation a few months ago, but haven't had a chance to
actually process data with it. From what you say it sounds like more
needs to be done before I can anyway. The RPFITS libraries work OK
because I have used them to do a bit of processing of some single
dish correlator data in ASAP 2.1. Does mirupdate change atlod, or
just other FITS related tasks?

Regards

Simon
