MODULE:	utilities.curfit

FROM:	cheselka

BUG:	If run in non-interactive mode (in scripts, for example), a
	segmentation fault occurs.

	A workaround is to run the task interactively, set the 'cursor' 
	parameter to a disk file containing the command 'q', send graphics 
	output to dev$null, and the text output to a disk file.

	From the command line:

	cl> curfit dev$pix inter+ cursor=quit_command >G dev$null >& fit.info

	Or from a script:

	utilities.curfit (input='dev$pix', inter+, cursor='quit_command', 
		>G 'dev$null', >& 'fit.info')

	The resulting file (fit.info) will have a single line of junk at
	the top of the file, but will otherwise contain the fit data.

STATUS:	Fixed for the next release.
