The file is a text file giving the results of a fitting process. Format: The name is usually given by specifying a logical device plus directory, followed by a colon, followed by the actual file name. In Unix, logicals are environment variables. The logical name must be set up before entering the AIPS program and is usually in upper case. Thus, for example: % setenv MYAREA ~joeuser for the C shell, and $ myarea=$HOME; export MYAREA for bourne, korn, and bash shells. Then in AIPS, FITOUT = 'MYAREA:FITS.DAT' Note that the Unix-standard $ ahead of the logical is omitted. AIPS-standard logicals like FITS (often AIPS/FITS) are available also. Other forms are now acceptable as well: FITOUT = 'FITS.DAT will find the file in the $FITS directory (when reading or writing FITS disk files) or in the directory local when you started AIPS. A full path name may also be given FITOUT = '/home/primate2/egreisen/AIPS/Text.prt if it fits in 48 characters. Note that the trailing quote mark is left off and this is the last command on the input line so that the case is preserved. In some programs, it is regarded as an error if FITOUT already exists. Most concatenate to or replace pre-existing FITOUTs. Null value: ' ' Taken to mean no subsidiary file. This can be an error.
