... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...

. To create an archive file use the command: tar cvf tarfile_name .tar filenames ( directory_name ) . The command options cvf modify the way the tar command works. See the manual page for details. By convention the name of a tarfile archive ends in .tar . When you create a tarfile of a directory all the subdirectories are added; this can result in very large tarfiles. These should be compressed to reduce their size. Tip ... Examples .
