Download the script (xplore), and move it somewhere in your path with the execute bit turned on, e.g. in csh notation and assuming you have a ~/bin in your $path: wget http://bima.astro.umd.edu/carma/xplore/xplore chmod +x xplore mv xplore ~/bin rehash You will also need tcl,tk (wish) and blt installed as packages. This should work on linux (tested on FC5; yum install blt) and MacOSX (10.4, tested using fink's versions of tcl/tk/blt) You can also manually install the blt package and use the BLT_LIBRARY environment variable to point to its library. To run: execute xplore, and download the calibrator files by clicking on File -> Xfer. This should download the appropriate files in your ~/.xplore_support/ directory. If you are not online, you can download xplore.tar.gz, which has a bootstrap version of the calibrator files included.
