      ST_DISKREAD

Purpose

---

      Read HST FITS formatted disk files and reconstruct GEIS (STSDAS) files.

Calling Sequence

---

      ST_DISKREAD, infiles

Input Parameter

---

      infiles - (scalar string) input disk files to be converted into GEIS
                      files. Wildcards are allowed.

Files Created

---

  GEIS files:
        The GEIS file is reconstructed from each input Fits file. The
      output filename is composed from the rootname of the observation
      and the appropriate GEIS file extension (i.e. d0h/d, c0h/d, etc.).
  Tables:
        If input file is a fits table, the output is an SDAS table.

Examples

---

      a) Reconstruct the GEIS file for disk FITS file z29i020ct*.fits.
              st_diskread,'z29i020ct*.fits'

Procedures Called
