After analyzing your data with the ISDC scripts you have as a result an image file and a file with the names of the found sources. The cat2ds9 program allows you to create a region file from your catalog, so that with DS9 you can see the position of the sources on the produced image. In Table 10 the parameters of cat2ds9 are given.
