moddev-c64:range_datetimes_from_ephatt_files

James Kuyper

I'm doing a pre-delivery test for PGE96 on moddev-c64. MetFileCreate.pm
is complaining about the fact that it wants to run

/MODAPSint/SDPToolkit/bin/range_datetimes_from_ephatt_files

but no such file exists. What needs to be done to install it there?

I did it again - sorry. It's not newsgroup related, it shouldn't have
been posted, and for some reason thunderbird won't let me send a
"Cancel" command.

Well, based on the filename, I'd consider updating the local SDP
Toolkit install (or checking the latest changelog at the least.)

Alas, ftp://edhs1.gsfc.nasa.gov/ (where I used to get it)
doesn't seem to be available right now, so I can't check it
myself if they indeed have added a new binary to the bundle.

... Unless the newsgroup is that is. (Which
I've just cross-posted to.)

No, we have the SDP Toolkit library (actually, several different
versions thereof) installed under the SDPToolkit directory, but other
subdirectories of SDPToolkit contain things connected to that library,
but not a part of it. range_datetimes_from_ephatt_files is an extremely
trivial program that I wrote (but someone else named :-( ) which
extracts the start and end times from an ephemeris or attitude file that
is in the format described in Appendix L of the SDP Toolkit User's
guide. It was supposed to have been installed in that location, and the
integration&test version of our MODAPS instance (MODAPSint) on that
machine can't ingest such files without it being in that precise
location. I don't have the right permissions to install it myself, or I
would have.
... Unless the newsgroup is that is. (Which
I've just cross-posted to.)

Leading me to have to post an apology to a whole new group of people for
having accidentally sent this message to a newsgroup instead of the
intended recipient.

ACK. Sorry for the buzz then.

I'd not worry about that much. Based on my observations (or,
rather, logs), only some 20 messages have reached this group on
Aioe for some two years now, and none of them lived long enough
for my software to fetch it, -- presumably all being promptly
discarded as spam.

If there're any subscribers left in this group (except for
myself, that is) -- my guess'd be that by now, they'd be
thankful for pretty much any traffic whatsoever (as long as it
keeps this group from being removed.)

Isn't that so stupid though? Who in their right mind would do such a thing?
Isn't it the epitome of sadness and lonliness?

Your name is <resume-like>, but what if I stop being the tech head and go
into business where you would maybe offer me your resume to work in my
company?

Hmm, James Kuyper? You'd hate to work for someone who knows your skill
better than you do, huh! All programmers at your level are playing a game,
but can't it past me. Hmm?
