ult2asc is a simple script to make it easy for people to access their data if sent as a giant ULTRACAM ASCII file produced by reduce.
The script produces time, target/comparison, uncertainty, flag where the times are in MJD at the centre of each exposure. The flag takes values of 'OK', 'NO_SKY_BACKROUND' (i.e there was no background estimate for some reason), 'SATURATED' and 'PEPPERED'. 'PEPPERED' indicates that the peak height on one or both stars exceeded the level at which the chips can show non-linear behaviour.
The routine prints the data to stdout; pipe via grep and re-direct to save to disk while selecting by the flag value.
