  An update for the HXD (20061226) and XIS (20061226) calibration files 
  is now available for download. 
 
  The Suzaku CALDB can be downloaded via the Web at or via anonymous 
  ftp to be installed on the user's machine or local network.

  *** DOWNLOAD CALDB on the LOCAL MACHINE

  There is one tar file for each instrument (HXD and XIS). 
  They include the XRS CALDB file (the teldef) necessary to run some of
  the software tools.
  The CALDB tar files are available from the CALDB Suzaku Web page at :

    http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/caldb/suzaku/

  or via anonymous ftp at:

    ftp://legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov/caldb/data/suzaku/hxd/goodfiles_suzaku_hxd.tar.Z
    ftp://legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov/caldb/data/suzaku/xis/goodfiles_suzaku_xis.tar.Z
 
  The CALDB installation procedure is available at:

  *** NOTE on the current access to CALDB
 
  Note that not all Suzaku tasks support the automatic queries to CALDB. 
  For the Suzaku tasks that do not yet have this support but require files
  in CALDB, the full path and filename to CALDB files has to be explicitly
  given in the Suzaku software task parameter.

  *** HELP
