Annoucement of the 96NOVpl2.1 ESO-MIDAS Release

The release 96NOVpl2.1 (patch level 2.1) release of MIDAS is now available in our anonymous ftp account.

This release contains only a patch to fix a bug when reading FITS files produced by the ESO-NTT telescope.

Only if you are working with ESO-NTT FITS files you will need to install this patch, otherwise you can stay with the previous release of MIDAS.

96NOVpl2.1 is provided, both for source and binary installations, as a patch file called "patch96NOVpl2.1.tar.Z" in compressed-tar format, which has to be applied to the previous release "96NOVpl2.0".
