  how to use the midcheck and midasparallel shell scripts
  which test "inmidas -P" as asynchronous, parallel tasks


1) copy doit.prg, midcheck and midasparallel to the working dir., e.g. ~/tmp
   make them executable

2) edit doit.prg to use an image which is in ~/tmp
   if you do this after the usual Midas verification, the image used
   for plotting is image_M12c.fits which is already there,
   otherwise choose an image in the working dir.

3) by default midasparallel loops (invokes Midas) 15 times
   edit the script if you want less

4) by default midcheck launches 10 parallel Midas sessions,
   edit the script if you want less

the shell command "lockfile" must exist on the host system to make these
scripts work...
