SUMZE, SUMWT: The aips routines, SUMZE.FOR and SUMWT.FOR do almost the same thing as SUMIM.FOR except that if the input is blank it is read in as a zero. When running SUMZE, put FACTOR=1 and the output will be the sum of all input points. If the input is a blank it is just read as a blank and the output is *NOT* blank. Then run SUMWT with FACTOR=1. This will add up how many non-zero non-blank input points there were and put this into an output map. Finally run COMB to take the result of SUMZE divided by the result of SUMWT to get the average. Basically it does what SUMIM does but won't put blanks in the output. Note that, as with SUMIM, all input maps must be interpolated onto the same grid. To install and compile the program do the following: 1. Put SUMZE.FOR and SUMWT.FOR into the area: YOURCURRENTAIPS/APL/PGM e.g. 31DEC05/APL/PGM 2. Put SUMZE.HLP and SUMWT.HLP into the area: YOURCURRENTAIPS/HELP 3. Go to directory $SYSUNIX or wherever you find the COMLNK routine for your version of aips, e.g. cd /31DEC05/SYSTEM/UNIX 4. To compile the routines: COMLNK YOURCURRENTAIPS/APL/PGM/SUMZE.FOR COMLNK YOURCURRENTAIPS/APL/PGM/SUMWT.FOR The result should be put into the $LOAD area automatically The program should then run. XSMC: Do the same thing as for SUMZE etc. It goes in the same aips area, i.e. $APLPGM
