+pstamp/test/pstamp_req_create.  This program takes a text file and creates a multi-row postage
+stamp request.  A couple of example input files may be found in pstamp/test/*.txt
+
+Queueing a PostageStamp Request
+-------------------------------
+The postage stamp server looks for work to do by examining a collection of
+input Data Stores. For example, the MOPS team will have a datastore onto which
+they will submit their postage stamp requests.
+
+There will also be a web based interface. A prototype for this will be
+discussed in a later section of this document.
+
+For testing, we may queue a request by hand using the program pstamptool
+
+    pstamptool -dbname mydatabase -addreq -uri /mydirectory/req.fits
+
+This adds an entry to the table pstampRequests with state = 'new'
+
+Request Processing
+------------------
+
+Postage stamp requests are processed by a set of pantasks tasks.
+
+ Task Status
+  AV Name                Njobs  Ngood Nfail Ntime Command            
+  ++ pstamp.request.find   921    921     0     0 pstamp_queue_requests.pl

+  ++ pstamp.request.load  1566   1566     0     0 pstamptool
+
+pstamp.request.find examines incoming data stores for new requests and adds
+them if found
+
+pstamp.request.load dispatches pending requests for parsing
+
+pstamp.request.run runs the request parser which queues jobs to service the
+request specifications.
+
+pstamp.job.load dispatches pending jobs for processing
+
+pstamp.job.run runs a single job
+
+pstamp.finish.load looks for requests which have no pending jobs
+
+pstamp.finish.run builds the results fileset and registers it on the ouptut
+Data Store.
+
+Output Fileset
+-------------
+A successful request will generate a fileset with the name the REQ_NAME of the
+request in the output Data Store. The output product is determined by the
+source of the request as discussed in the next section. (If the request did
+not come from a data store the product is given by the value of PSTAMP_DATA_STORE_PRODUCT
+in the IPP site.config file.
