+  issues related to creating and applying the flat-field correction in a simtest context
+
+  * generating the fake data:
+    * ppSim must be called with a recipe in which the SCATTER.FRACTION is non-zero	
+    * simtest thus needs to accept a ppsim_recipe and supply it to ppSimSequence
+    * ppSimSequence needs to accept the ppsim_recipe and supply it to the generated ppSim calls
+
+  * first stage processing:
+    * we need to build flats which are not corrected (use the standard 'flat' type?)
+    * we need to apply flats which are not corrected
+    ** these can both be accomplished with the current DEFAULT reduction class
+
+  * second stage processing:
+    * we need to apply flats which are corrected
+    ** define a reduction class of type FLATCORR which:
+       * modifies ppImage.config:DETREND.CONTRAINTS:FLAT:DETTYPE = FLAT_CORRECT
+
+  ** adding a new detrend type:
+
+   * add an entry to detrend_stack.pl FILERULES
+   * add an entry to detrend_stack.pl STATRECIPES
+   * add an entry to ppMerge/src/ppMergeArguments.c
+   * add an entry to ippconfig/recipes/ppMerge.config
+   * add an entry to ippconfig/recipes/rejections.config
+   
+  * need a block in simtest.auto (or equiv) to check for when the chip processing / cam processing is complete
+
+  * need to modify the detselect -inst arguments in simtest.auto (use @INST@ or equiv)
