NOTES: Gaitskell 29Oct99

(see readme_dataformat.txt for information about the data format)

The "entryform.html" file is generated by running matlab file 
"entryform_regenerate.m" from the top directory.
  It looks at all the data in the limitdata/ directory and 
  creates the html. This program only needs to be rerun 
  when data is changed.
  
If the user enters the address cfpa.berkeley.edu/~cdmsuser/limitdata/
they are automatically redirected to the "entryform.html"

When the SUBMIT button is pressed on the entryform page, the script
"entryform_process.cgi" is called. This CGI perl script copies the 
entryform data entered in the html form to a text file (cgi.txt). This 
script then launches "entryform_process.m" within a new matlab session.
The matlab session reads in cgi.txt and then uses it to select data to plot.
"entryform_process.m" uses a number of subroutines which are contained in
the matlab/, matlab/subs/ and matlab/bootStrap/ directories. The bulk of
the plotting is handled by "plot_limit_data.m"

All the results are put in the output/ directory. The last job of 
"entryform_process.cgi" is to point the client browser to the 
"results_####.html" file which contains the results, and graphics links.
