FROMOD/ESOLV [mode] [colour] [intable] [column]
	retrieve frames from optical disk
\us\pu
Purpose:     
             Frames from the ESO-LV archive are retrieved from optical disk,
             using the ESO-identifiers or selected entries in the input table,
             and converted to BDF-format.

Syntax:      
             FROMOD/ESOLV [mode] [colour] [intable column]
\ys\pa 
             mode          = Single character giving the mode in which the 
                             program should run: P(rompt), A(uto). In prompt
                             mode (P) the user is prompted for the identifiers
                             and hence p2, p3 and p4 are not used. Default `P'
\ap\pa
             colour        = Single character giving the colour of the image 
                             to be retrieved: `B' for only blue frames, `R' 
                             for only red frames, and `A' for all frames; 
                             Default `B'.
\ap\pa 
             intable       = With mode `P' intable should be name of table
                             with column (R*4) containing ESO-identifiers;
                             Default
\ap\pa 
             column        = Label or column number of table with contains
                             the identifiers; No default 

\ap\no
Note:        
             The command takes care of the logistics of the frames being 
             resident on 3 different disks. In a single run only frames 
             from a single disk can be retrieved. The proper disk should 
             have been inserted in the device. See the system management  
             for information about the optical disks.

Examples:
\ex
             Midas 001> FROMOD P B 
             "Give ESO-identifier: " 1180010 <cr>\\
             "Give ESO-identifier: " 1180020 <cr>\\
             "Give ESO-identifier: " <cr>\\
             Retrieve the blue frames of 1180010 and 1180020 from optical disk.
\xe\ex
             Midas 001> SELECT/TABLE ESOLV :BTOT.lt.10.and.:T.eq.-5
\xe\ex
             Midas 002> FROMOD A A ESOLV :ESO_ID
             Retrieve brightest ellipticals from optical disk in both colours,
             using selected ESO-identifiers from ESO-LV catalogue.
