STEP ONE: Obtaining the files.

All the pertinent information resides here on these web pages. You need to download all the Concordance files to generate your own plots using SM. Here is a compressed tar file with everything in the current release. You will need to uncompress and extract the files from this archive once you have downloaded it to your local machine, e.g.

: uncompress concord.tar.Z
: tar xvf concord.tar
The files are all ASCII format, i.e. ordinary text files. Currently the archive contains:
amo.pn		dg.refl		lynds.dn	vh.refl
bfs.hii 	gb.hii		ngc.2000	vr.refl
cat.sm		green.snr	pks.box		
cb.glob		hmstg.dc	pks.hii		
ced.refl	lynds.bn	rcw.hii		
The file cat.sm contains all the scripts you will be using. They are, in the order they appear, gbox, ragal, iras, galrot, pbox, allcat, bfs, rcw, pks, gb, ced, dg, vr, vh, ldn, lbn, hdc, cb, pn, snr, and ngc. The other files are data files that are used by the scripts to plot the Concordance. You may want to print out some or all of these files to see what they look like, especially if you intend to eventually customise these files to your needs, although this is not necessary to operate the Concordance. If you do plan to customise, you may want to read this note concerning the file contents.

If you find SM attractive and discover yourself writing more applications for this package which you think others may find useful, please send me a copy so I can distribute such scripts in future announcements.

Happy plotting!
