VISTA IR Camera Project
	=======================

	Useful starter information
	--------------------------

1) A good general starting place for VISTA and ESO-VLT
   software information is the VISTA software web page at

   http://www.roe.ac.uk/atc/projects/vista/software/

   accessed using "vistasw/celestial". This page contains
   links to most of the places where documentation may be
   found.

2) Location of VISTA IR Camera documentation at ATC:

   Software documentation may be found on the PC network in

   H:\Atc Vista IR\Work Breakdown Structure\6.8_Software

   Current documentation is in the "Current" directory.
   "Archive" contains older versions of the documentation.
   "PDR" and "FDR" contain frozen version of the documents
   submitted to PDR and FDR. (PDR date 10-11 December 2002.
   FDR date 15-19 December 2003).

3) Location of central VISTA IR documentation repository:

   All VISTA IR documents are held centrally in a Sharepoint
   repository at RAL accessed through this URL:

   http://vistadocs.rl.ac.uk/VISTA/Documents

   You will need a username and password to access this
   repository. This can be obtained from IT managers at
   RAL.

4) Location of VISTA documentation:

   VISTA documents are stored on the PC network at

   H:\VISTA

   but this location is only useful for accessing draft copies
   of documents. The "official" set of VISTA documents is only
   available through Q'Pulse at

   http://pluto.roe.ac.uk/qpulseweb/

   A username and password are required to access the documents.
   Jacqueline McDougal can provide a username.

5) Location of ESO-VLT documents:

   ESO-VLT software documents may be accessed at

   http://www.eso.org/projects/vlt/sw-dev

   The "Documentation Kit April 2003", "Additional relevant documents"
   and "Instrumentation Documents" are the most useful links.
