[Difx-users] difx2mark4 : 1 letter codes, how to assign

[Cormac Reynolds]

hi Stuart,

my HOPS knowledge is possibly a bit out of date, but you should be
able to (re-)define the one letter station codes in a file referenced
by $HOPS_STATION_CODE. The way we set it up is documented here:

cheers,
Cormac
