Subject: Summary of NAUG meeting

 	        Summary of NAUG meeting 8-22-01

	The main report of new work was from Ed Fomalont working on the
reduction of a large, deep field. Much of this work is going well in
AIPS++ and Kumar's new, interactive boxing function will take this
sort of processing much closer to being routine in AIPS++.

	Ed did report that some of his imaging work seems to run
significantly slower in AIPS++ than in AIPS (in some cases 3 times
slower). The AIPS++ group has been studying this result finds much
less difference between using AIPS and AIPS++. Ed, Kumar and others
will continue to study these differences.

	Athol reported that MSPLOT should be ready for new testing.
The uv editing function of MSPLOT is the last, major remaining 
roadblock to standard VLA continuum reductions in AIPS++. Over the
next month and before the release several of the testers should exercise
this task and feedback their results.

	We also hope to have the long awaited demonstration of auto-editing
in AIPS++ sometime in early September. Athol will find a time to have
such a demonstration.

	We also have promises of more activity in testing spectral-line 
processing by the next meeting from Mark and John H.
