My understanding is that XRT simply doesn't work. Last time Tim (Naylor)
and myself tried to reduce ROSAT data we needed two different versions of
ASTERIX (the non-starlink and starlink versions) and XRT. I also had to
make some fixes to the non-starlink ASTERIX (and to XRT) to make things
work well enough to get the job done. I doubt any of this was rolled back
into XRT. I also doubt I've still got these fixes (although they may be
hanging around somewhere)...
