An advanced example

The following program is meant to illustrate some further features of the AIPS++ system. In particular, we will show a program that was used to test the development of two functions which read and write an ASCII file. The file is expected to contain a 2-dimensional array (of any rectangular dimensions) of numbers and place the values it contains (regardless of type) into a matrix.

The work will be described in three parts - which correspond to the three directories that should be used for this type of work. They are:

1. The directory in which the main routine is composed and compiled. This is the one that has been used in previous examples. It is: ~/aips/code/aips/test.

2. A directory in which the .h file is defined. This is: ~/aips/code/aips/include.

3. A directory in which the functions are composed and compiled. This one also will contain a private library which will be searched automatically by the gmake process. This one is: ~/aips++/code/aips/implement.
