There are two main routines, read_vicar and write_vicar.
Both have help sections within the code, but here's a quick
example of how to use them.  vicsetpar, vicgetpar and gethost
are called by the main programs.



image=read_vicar('vicar.img', lab, /flip)

reads a vicar image, stores the ascii label in the variable 'lab',
flips the image so it is displayed correctly in IDL.  Puts the
image data in the IDL array 'image'.




write_vicar,'vicar.img', image, lab

writes the IDL array 'image' to a VICAR file with an ascii label from 'lab'.
