INDEX

        [MRTCAL\]INDEX [BUILD|UPDATE|OPEN|APPEND|WATCH [DirName]] [/FILE In-
    dexFile]  [/RECURSIVE]  [/PATTERN  String]  [/DATE DateString] [/TIMEOUT
    Value]

    This commands creates, updates, or opens a file index (database) of IMB-
    FITS files, for later use by the commands MFIND and/or CALIBRATE.
      - BUILD creates or rebuilds the index file from scratch, overwriting
          the previous one if any,
      - UPDATE creates or updates the index file if it already exists,
      - OPEN opens the index file,
      - APPEND appends in memory another index file,
      - OUTPUT select the index file used for writing new entries,
      - WATCH waits for new files to appear in the IMB-FITS directory,
          and index them (INDEX UDPATE) as soon as one new is found.
    BUILD  and UPDATE will implicitly OPEN the index file after creating it.
    The default is to open the index of the current working directory.

    By default, the index file created/searched as 'index.mrt' in the direc-
    tory  where  the  IMB-FITS  files are (DirName). However, if user has no
    right (e.g. write access) to put the index file in  this  directory,  he
    can  override  this default and give any IndexFile name (with its path).
    In this case, it is his responsibility to ensure a  correct  DirName/In-
    dexFile  match. For clarity reasons, the default should be prefered when
    possible.
