drs - execute Data Reduction System commands (in this case Midas) directly
      from Unix


If the environment variable MIDVERS is not set explicitely, the current 
default version of Midas is used.


$ drs `any_Midas_command'

will execute `any_Midas_command' using Midas (.bdf) or FITS files.
This method works without the overhead involved when executing

$ inmidas -j `any_Midas_command'

and is thus much faster.




For more info:

$ drs -h

displays a short help about the command.



Currently, the following limitations exist:
1) no display capabilities
2) no graphics capabilities


OJO:
Please, note, that the environment variable DAZUNIT (which is used internally
in Midas) must NOT be set when executing the `drs' command!
In other words, 

Midas> $drs `any_Midas_command'
				   will NOT work.
