     for infra-red data (initially WFCAM), from a set of object
     catalogue files in _i_n_d_i_r.  The log files are written to the
     directory _o_u_t_d_i_r, which is created first if necessary, with
     a subdirectory made for each input catalogue directory,
     named by taking the _b_a_s_e_n_a_m_e(1) of _i_n_d_i_r (see EXAMPLES,
     below).

     The default is to create an HTML page, _d_q_c._h_t_m_l, containing
     the generated plots as inline PNG images, with links to
     Postscript versions of the plots (for printing) and to the
     summary files generated.  This mode can be disabled, such
     that only the summary files and Postscript plots are
     produced (see OPTIONS, below).

     The catalogue files are searched for in the directories
     _i_n_d_i_r specified on the command line.  They are expected to
     be named with __c_a_t._f_i_t_s at the end of the filename
     (extensions of ._f_i_t and ._f_t_s are also supported).

     The following files are generated:

     _s_u_m_m_a_r_y._p_s
         Plots of the surface brightness, seeing, 1-sigma sky
         noise and 5-sigma magnitude limit, per filter, by day.

     _s_u_m_m_a_r_y._l_i_s_t
         A DQC summary ASCII table containing one line per
         detector in each data-set, with various DQC parameters.
         The columns are described under SUMMARY COLUMNS, below.

     _s_k_y._p_e_r_c_e_n_t_a_g_e_s
         A table of the median percentage sky level differences
         from catalogue analysis.  This is used as input to
         _f_i_t_s_i_o__p_e_r_c_e_n_t(1).

     _e_l_l_i_p_t._p_s
         A plot of the average stellar ellipticity for each
         detector, per day.

     _s_e_e_i_n_g._p_s
         A histogram of the seeing over all detectors and days.

     _s_e_e_i_n_g._h_i_s_t
         An ASCII table of the data used to produce _s_e_e_i_n_g._p_s.

         Plots of the stellar aperture correction and number of
         detected sources for each detector, by day.

     _s_i_t_e._p_s
         Plots of the relative humidity, Tau at 2.5GHz, wind

     The following command-line options are supported:

     -nnnn  Disables HTML output: only the files listed above are
         produced.  Otherwise, additional PNG images and a file
         _d_q_c._h_t_m_l are produced.

     -vvvv  Increases the verbosity level of the program.

     The following columns are present in the summary files
     (_s_u_m_m_a_r_y._l_i_s_t):

     _R_u_n _n_o.
         An identifier for the frame in the format _w_{_r_u_n}_{_c_h_a_n}
         where {_r_u_n} is the run number, and {_c_h_a_n} is the
         detector DAS channel.

     _C_C_D A blank column for historical reasons.

     _O_b_j_e_c_t _N_a_m_e
         Name of the target, taken from the _O_B_J_E_C_T FITS header.

     _R_A  Right ascension of the desired target position, in
         sexagesimal format with the hours, minutes, seconds
         separated by `:'.

     _D_e_c Declination of the desired target position, in
         sexagesimal format with the degrees, arcminutes,
         arcseconds separated by `:'.

     _E_q_u_i_n_o_x
         The equinox of _R_A and _D_e_c.  For WFCAM data no leading
         `J' is present: the equinoxes are always Julian.

     _A_M  The effective mean airmass.

     _P_A  Position angle of the observation.  For WFCAM data this
         is always `-1.0' since the detector cannot be rotated.
