As a last addition to our InfoSystem the option has been provide to add comments to the FITS header of files. The contents of this header is now also shown on the observing log part of the InfoSystem.
It was noted that error messages that appear in the Talker are not always that clear. However, there is also a limit to the amount of text that can be written on one line. The plan is to have the error messages in the InfoSystem linked to more detailed explanations (in existing web-pages).
To make it easier for the user to know if all the required programs in an observing system are running, a system was made that provide direct and visible information about the successful start of these programs. If any of these programs fail to start, an error message will be presented to the user with information about the required action to take. This system is now in use with the observing systems for FIES, NOTCam and ALFOSC.
