Off-line analysis of x-ray data within IRAF

PROS    The Post-Reduction Off-line Software (PROS) is a portable x-ray
        analysis software system designed to run under NOAO's Image 
        Reduction and Analysis Facility (IRAF)

        The PROS system provides IRAF users with tasks that will properly
        access the x-ray data.
        In particular, it supplies the tools to take into account the
        additional parameters peculiar to x-ray imaging data (photon 
        energy and time information may be retained in x-ray images,
        along with positions), and algorithms for a correct treatment
        of the errors, based on photon counting statistics.


      Version 2.5.p1 March, 1998

      To use the packages first start IRAF using the 'cl' command
      and at the 'cl>' prompt type 'xray'.
