Today's Work
I finished writing the two gyro mode script. I still need to document it and I also want to take a closer look at Ron's script to verify that there are no remaining problems.
I also wrote mktemplate, A simple script that uses html comments to demarcate the template portion of the code from its html framing and copies the form that invokes the cgi script from that web in order to duplicate its look and feel in the template.

I uncovered a problem with the underlying idl program used by the two gyro script. It failed silently when passed an out of range date. I suggested that the idl program signal my script when this was the case. Ron Downes implemented one solution, but I suggested a btter one.
Mike Wiggs uncovered a problem when using metadata items that are select lists in the end user editor. I did some preliminary investigation and suggested that it be worked as a call. The end user editor was backed out and it will be worked as a call.
I also did the next module in the Java training.

I've got the two gyro mode script working, though there still are a few rough edges. The underlying idl program was hanging, but that was resolved by reordering some statements in the program. You can try out the script, as long as you remember that the only two data files are for ra=0 dec=0 and ra=3:40 dec=-30. I asked Ron if it was ok for input to be minutes and seconds instead of decimal and he thought the astronomers would prefer that.
The remaining work is to add the Zope front end, fix the few remaining problems, and add documentation to the script. We will probably have to also consult with Mike Watterson on installation.

I did more work on the two gyro mode script. I got it working again from the command line, edited the html template to get it look halfway acceptable, and started debugging it as a cgi script. It looks like it can't see the data files as I have it currently configured.

I was on vacation yesterday.
I made some fixes to problems that Mike Wiggs uncovered in the end user editor. And I made changes to the twogyro script to accomodate Ron's new version of the script.

I worked all day on the TwoGyro mode script and debugged it to the point where it writes an html output file. It still seems to produce bogus output for the no parameters case, which I will have to look at.
