... this can then be used to search for regions of interest, by typing ? in response to the filename prompt from vpgti (see below), e.g.:

You can take this a bit further, if you have already input parameters
for
a system (say #1) at z=3.08822 for SiII (say from 1260), then a response
? (wavelength wanted) (system number) will cause a list of regions
containing that redshifted wavelength to be printed:
Filename 2 or ? (lam,n) [ct92.ec]:
? 1193 1
File
order ion lam0
f' @lam low high
ct92.ec
10 SiII 1193.29 0.499 4878.4

This is quite useful if you are dealing with lots of lines in
a messy system.
