My group is pretty busy and probably can't hold people's hands in a
one on one way.  Maybe we will organize a short workshop at Cornell
at some point for learning to program with ISIS.  I haven't got anything
planned right now, but if interest seems very strong (and we could
get away with charging enough) we could probably organize something.

The fortran test program doesn't do much, but I do think it works.
It just exercises a bunch of ISIS features on the SUN3/SUN4.  You need
to run a few copies of it, if I recall correctly, for it to do anything
at all, and even then it just runs ISIS system calls and prints a
few silly messages.
