Read an input list of (fullpath) image names and prepare for running some image procedure (FIXUP, WCS, ZP, etc...). A local archive director (./local_red) is verfied (or prepared if needed). The two files createed are a list of images to be processed by some downstream process (LIST.IN, just a copy of the arg2 file) and the names of the processed images to be made (LIST.OUT).

  
% image_process_list --help
Usage: image_process_list FIXUP list.in N 
arg1 - name of process we are preparing for 
arg2 - Name of FITS image list (should full path)
arg3 - run in debug mode (Y/N)

Here is an example: 
% ls 
list.IMAGES_OLD 

% image_process_list FIXUP  list.IMAGES_OLD N 
Number of images in input list =  519

% ls 
FITS.BaseNames  list.IMAGES_OLD  LIST.IN  LIST.OUT  local_red/

What are the new output files? 
FITS.BaseNames    = a listing of the basenames of the input FITS files 
LIST.IN           = the input list (= arg2 file) 
LIST.OUT          = the names of the (processed files) as they will 
                    appear in ./local_red/FIXUP 

% ls ./local_red
FIXUP/

One major point to note is that only images that do not have versions in the target directory end up in the LIST.IN and LIST.OUT files. Use the "--help" option shown above to see a detailed description of this.
