If you have used CADC facilities for your research, please include the following acknowledgment:

This research used the facilities of the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre operated by the National Research Council of Canada with the support of the Canadian Space Agency.

DAOSPEC is a Fortran program that automatically finds absorption lines in a stellar spectrum, fits the continuum, measures equivalent widths, and identifies lines with a laboratory linelist; it also provides a radial velocity estimate. DAOSPEC is designed to work on extracted one-dimensional spectra that have been binned linear in wavelength, either in FITS or in IRAF (.imh + .pix) format. The cookbook describes how to obtain, install, configure, and use DAOSPEC.

The manual is here: daospec.ps

Here is a copy of the agreement that must be signed and returned before I can give you the software: agreement.txt

The same agreement and the addresses below will also work for DAOPHOT.
