Karma
Introduction
Karma is a toolkit for interprocess communications,
authentication, encryption, graphics display, user interface and
manipulating the Karma network data structure. It contains KarmaLib
(the structured libraries and API) and a large number of modules
(applications) to perform many standard tasks. A suite of
visualisation tools are distributed with the library.
Documentation
The
main Karma home page documents the current beta version of Karma,
Initialisation
If you use the C shell, type:
source /usr/local/karma/.login
If you use Bash, type:
. /usr/local/karma/.karmarc
and your paths will be set up.
You could put this in your .cshrc file. But this may cause iraf to
stop
working as it sets some enviromnent variables which could clash
with ones iraf is using.
Version
Karma is maintained now only for portability fixes.
The documents here are for the last ever version of Karma, 1.7.25.
