FIESTool

Normally FIESTool is run during an observing night and the automatic reduction provided can be of use to the observers (be it to assess the observations and decide which data to analyse first or, as fies.calibs is typically run in the afternoon before the observation, even use them directly in publications). As a service to the observers were are planning to add any reduced FIESTool spectra for a given night to the observers DVD containing the raw data.

It was mentioned that some people had made their own MIDAS reduction software to reduce FIES data. Apparently one reason was that FIESTool does not do the order merging that well. It will be checked (with Eric Stempels) if this can be improved.
