Overview:

HBTprogs is a set of programs for inverting angle averaged correlation functions.   This package consists of several programs that generate inversion matrices (collectively known as genma*),  a program that generates correlation functions from test sources of various types (makco1D) and a program that inverts correlation data using the inversion matrix (image1D).
