Purpose :
This routine locates catalogue objects on the plate.Procedure :
The GSH file is read to provide an initial position estimate and then the object is located within a specified tolerance radius. If the filename specified is the scan file then the program will locate the objects by running local inventories around the predicted coordinates. If the filename is an Inventory (OOP) file then it will search for the coordinates in the specified file. The catalogue may be entered as either a specific file or a GSSS catalogue for the entire plate can be staged internally. The output is directed to an MCO (Matched Catalogue Objects) file.Calling Sequence :
