modification to lrt.tcl

The likelihood-ratio test script doesn't work when there are multiple datagroups. The reason is that switching between models by making them active/inactive loses information on the parameters for groups > 1 when the model becomes inactive. We perhaps should modify the model inactive command to track multiple datagroups however as a workaround I modified lrt.tcl to use command files to store the model definitions. Each time the model is switched the appropriate command file is read.

started work on extractor v5

Started work on the new version of extractor which will use cfitsio internal filtering as much as possible.

In the course of switching the region filtering to cfitsio I found an obscure bug. If the image and wmap coordinates are the same but have different binning and wtmapfix is set then the WMAP bins with -1 are not quite correct. Several bins at the edge of the selected region can have counts in them when the value should be -1.

xselect and ROSAT

Dave Pooley reports that xselect has problems under Mac OS 10.4 but not 10.3 when using ROSAT data. I confirmed the error under 10.4. The error message is something like

Could not find keyword for Instrument for ROSAT
NONE
Got new mission: ?4????AF?'?AF?AF?AF??
'7????P???? R??????D???51

I don't know why this occurs but the fix is to edit xselect.mdb to use the new wildcard facility to deal with the PSPCB and PSPCC instrument variant names instead of using the instkey specification to only read the first four characters of the INSTRUME keyword.
