PARAMETERS
.ls input_root
Root name for input files.
.le
.ls output_root
Root name of output files.

DESCRIPTION
Makeimages processes 5 magnetograms from raw data tape images into projected
small [180x180] maps.  The input images are expected be output from T2D,
be in the current imdir, and have the extensions '001' through '005'.
The output files are stored in the current directory with the extensions
'a1', 'a2', 'a3', 'b1', etc.  The output image coding scheme is the following:

.nf
	On the filename extensions the first character is a letter
	corresponding to the tape file position.
		a = first file on tape
		b = second
		    .
		    .
		e = fifth

	The second character specifies which type of image this is.
		1 = data
		2 = absolute value
		3 = weights
.fi

Note: A logical directory called "scratch" must be set up before this
program is run.  This logical directory must point to the directory
containing the input images.  This can be set up as in the following
example:

vt> set scratch = "scr1:[recely]"

where this particular directory is a VAX/VMS type name.  If the image
files are in the user's home directory then "scratch" can be set to
"home".

Makeimages calls 'readvt', 'quickfit', 'rmap',
'delete', and 'imdelete' and is a cl script.

EXAMPLES
1. To process five magnetograms with root name m1585 and produce output images
with the root name M1585, the command would be.

.nf
	vt> makeimages m1585 M1585
.fi
