; NAME:
;       ASTROLIB
; PURPOSE:
;       Add the non-standard system variables used by the IDL Astronomy Library
; EXPLANATION: 
;       Also defines the environment variable ASTRO_DATA pointing to the 
;       directory containing data files  associated with the IDL Astronomy 
;       library (system dependent -- user must edit the third line in the
;       program below).
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       ASTROLIB
;
; INPUTS:
;       None.
;
; OUTPUTS:
;       None.
;
; METHOD:
;       The non-standard system variables !PRIV, !TEXTUNIT, and 
;       !TEXTOUT are added using DEFSYSV.
;
; REVISION HISTORY:
;       Written, Wayne Landsman, July 1986.
;       Use DEFSYSV instead of ADDSYSVAR           December 1990
;       Test for system variable existence before definition    July 2001
;       Assume since V55, remove VMS support  W. Landsman   Sep 2006
;       Remove !Debug, comment out ASTRO_DATA definition  WL  Jan 2009
