The file nfdat_ctio.tgz contains calibration data files for the NEWFIRM camera at CTIO. It is unpacked at the root of the nfextern package; i.e. /nfextern. It will produce the directory newfirm/nfdat_ctio. To use this directory load the newfirm package and set the environment variable nfdat: newfirm> reset nfdat = "newfirm$nfdat_ctio/" If you have updated the V2.15 version of nfextern (V2.02: 20110525) then these calibration files and the default setting for nfdat are already in the distribution. In this update you can set nfdat to "newfirm$nfdat_kpno/" to get the files for NEWFIRM at KPNO. If you have not updated to the latest nfextern this file can still be used as described above. The default nfdat is to newfirm$nfdat which contains the calibration files for KPNO. This applies to both the older frozen V2.14 nfextern and the older versions of V2.15 nfextern.
