Running MIDAS for the first time

Once option 6 - install MIDAS is successfully completed you still need to initialize some MIDAS files by executing the following sequence:

% mkdir /midas/tmp
% cd /midas/tmp
% inmidas
Midas 001> @ compile.all
(this will produce about 40 lines of output and it will exit to the Shell)
% gomidas
Midas 002 > @ ascii_bin
(this will create the LUTs and ITTs files)
Midas 003 > bye

Now you are ready to run MIDAS. Type inmidas for your first MIDAS session or gomidas to resume a previous interrupted MIDAS session.
