+#
+# A wrapper script for the HEASoft tools, to avoid the annoying
+# conflicts between system libraries and the HEASoft bundled
+# libraries due to the '$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' settings.
+#
+# This wrapper is inspired by CIAO.

+# Setup:
+# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+# 1. Copy this wrapper to '~/.heasoft/heasoft.sh'.
+# 2. Add the following shell function to your shell config file.
+#    NOTE: edit 'HEADAS' to match your case.

+# Shell configuration:
+# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
