in re the DSS, would it be possible to have the program query
http://archive.stsci.edu/cgi-bin/dss_form
or
http://archive.eso.org/dss/dss
rather than assume the presence of a 102 CD set somewhere?
... the coding is currently beyond me (most things are, but that's an
excuse and maybe ... it could be a project) so it is essentially a
hypothetical question.
