Summary

This external package contains NOAO developed tasks which by themselves are too minor to form their own external package.

The current contents of the package are:

-- Beta version tasks for creating and using pixel masks -- ccdmask - Create a pixel mask from a CCD image fixpix - Fix pixels defined by a pixel mask text2mask - Convert text description to pixel mask
