IRFLUX-Flux calibrates an IR spectrum using a black-body model

Description:
Flux calibrates an IR spectrum using a black body model for a standard star.

Parameters:
SPECTRUM
Name of Star spectrum.
STANDARD
Name of Standard spectrum.
TEMP
Temperature of standard.
CALTYPE
Type of calibration data.
MAG
Magnitude of standard star.
FLUX
Flux of standard star at calib wavelength (mJy).
WAVE
Calibration wavelength (microns).
OUTPUT
Name of resulting spectrum.

 Flux calibrates an IR spectrum using a black body model for a
 standard star

 Command parameters -

 SPECTRUM  The name of the structure containing the first image.

 STANDARD  The name of the structure containing the second
           image data.

 TEMP      The temperature of the black body to be used.

 CALTYPE   The type of calibration data. A single character as follows:
              'J','H','K','L','M' - magnitude in a standard band
              'F' - Flux at specified wavelength

 MAG       The magnitude of the standard used.

 FLUX      The flux in mJy of the standard.

 WAVE      The wavelength at which the flux is specified.

 OUTPUT    The name of the result of the operation.  This can
           be the same as for SPECTRUM.  If not, a new structure
           is created, with everything but the data a direct
           copy of the input.
