WVRGCAL
Installed on /opt/local/stow. Latest version (2011-4-25) is 0.21 (not tested), installed as opt/local/stow/wvrgcal-21/bin/wvrgcal . Note that this needs to be run from within CASA (to get the environment variables correct), and on 64-bit machines only. Currently (as of mid-February) works only on casapy, NOT on casapy-test. Dan Klopp is working to set up versions of wvrgcal that work in each version of CASA, with casapy-test being the priority. (contacts: Todd, Amy)
Bojan's instructions for running wvrgcal are on:
http://wikis.alma.cl/bin/view/AIV/Application
Here is an example with input parameters:
os.system(' --ms '+vis+' --output wvr.cal --toffset -1 --segfield --wvrflag 2 --reversespw 1 --reversespw 3')
And here is a page from Todd that shows some example output (could use the output as a regression test):

ANALYSIS SCRIPTS
At some point, we will try to have
AnalysisUtils updated by IT via SVN. For now, we can use Todd's copy:
sys.path.insert(0,'/users/thunter/AIV/science/analysis_scripts'
import analysisUtils
Note from Todd: when he updates his analysisUtils, the updated files are not world-readable by default.
