Sam Freeland was kind enough to write a great user-friendly IDL function to access my RHESSI microflare list. It is now part of the SSW library and therefore just a few key presses away for all of us. The function is called ssw_getrhessi_schriste_uflares.pro. No longer is it necessary to “install” the list locally as this function will automatically download whatever it needs through a network connection. The documentation follows.
function ssw_getrhessi_schriste_uflares, t0, t1, refresh=refresh

; Purpose: ssw client access to RHESSI microflare dbase by Steven Christe
;
; Description and Credit:
; This microflare list was created by Steven Christe through a
; search of the 6-12 keV count rate. This list is NOT related to

; Calling Examples:
; IDL> uf=ssw_getrhessi_schriste_uflares() ; full list
; IDL> uf=ssw_getrhessi_schriste_uflares(time0, time1) ; all in range

Thank you Sam!
