NOTES -- What is new in the IRAF network archive. This archive was placed on line on Monday 23 April 1990. ====================================================================== iraf/v29/DSUX/* + The V2.9 DECstation/IRAF release was placed on line. See the README file in DSUX for instructions. (4/24) compress.tar + compress_vms.tar + compress_vms.exe + 1. Placed a public domain version of the COMPRESS/UNCOMPRESS utilities for UNIX systems on line in the archive, for use on host systems that do not come with these programs (this program is from uunet.uu.net). 2. Did a rough port of this code to VMS, placing the revised source and executable (linked /NOSYSSHR) in the files listed above. This may be needed by sites trying to install VMS/IRAF from this archive, since the distribution files are compressed. (4/24) iraf/v29/VMS5/ia.vms5.vax/* Changed all the "ia.vms5.vax.Z.00" etc. files to "ia_vms5_vax_z.00", to allow VMS sites to transfer the files without having to change the names. (4/24) compress_vms.tar + compress_vms.exe + iraf/v29/VMS5/README A user site trying to install VMS/IRAF from the network distribution discovered that the new VMS version of compress produces Stream_LF files (this is the VAX C default when a file is created using stdio). A new switch "-c " was added to the program. A file of any type can be created by doing, e.g., a CREATE/FDL in VMS to create a zero length file of the desired type and record size, then running compress with the -c (concatenate to output file) switch to write the uncompressed output to this file. Instructions for using this technique to uncompress the VMS/IRAF distribution file were added to the VMS5 README file. (4/25) NOTES + Added this NOTES file and made a few notes to cover the major changes since outside users started accessing the archive. (4/25) iraf/README iraf/docs/* + A new IRAF documentation archive has been set up. This contains Postscript versions of various IRAF documents, e.g., user's manuals, cookbooks, technical papers, old revisions summaries, and so on. The README file contains a summary of all the documents in the archive. At the present time only a few Installation Guides and Site Manager's Guides are provided, but new documents will be added rapidly now that the archive has been set up. (4/28) util/ + util/README + Set up a new directory UTIL and moved the compress source and executables there. (5/1) util/sum.c + util/sum_vms.exe + Added a little program to the archive for computing BSD checksums, for use on systems that don't have such a program. Also provided a prebuilt executable for VMS since many VMS systems don't have the C compiler. (5/1) iraf/v29/VMS5/README The README for the VMS/IRAF distribution was modified to document the use of SUM for computing file checksums, and to document the procedure for accessing the tucana IRAF network archive via SPAN. Since tucana (a Sun-3 server) runs the SunLink-DNI (DECnet) software and is a registered SPAN node (5362), any VMS host on DECnet should be able to directly access the archive to retrieve the VMS distribution. The root directory of the network archive for SPAN is 5362::"/arc/ftp", e.g., to list this directory, either of the following will work: $ dir 5362::"/arc/ftp/*" $ dir 5362::arc:[ftp]*.* To type the NOTES file in this directory: $ type 5362::"/arc/ftp/NOTES" This mode of access will be useful for VMS sites that do not have ftp or access to the internet, although ftp is preferred if available as it gives you more control over file transfers. (5/1,5/8) iraf/v28/* + iraf/v28/CXOS/* + Since there is no V2.9 release of Convex/IRAF yet, the V2.8 release has been placed online in the network archive. (5/5) iraf/v29/DSUX/* iraf/v29/DSUX/dsux.patch1.Z + iraf/v29/S386/* iraf/v29/S386/s386.patch1.Z + iraf/v29/SOS4/* iraf/v29/SOS4/sos4.patch1.Z + iraf/v29/VMS5/* iraf/v29/SOS4/vms5.patch1.Z + iraf/v29/PORT/* All of these distributions were rebuilt to fix one or both of the following two problems: o Several files were replaced in each system to fix a bug in xpp.e (part of the SPP preprocessor). The bug affected a language construct which was little used in the main iraf system, but heavily used by STSDAS, hence the bug fix is needed to install STSDAS. o The SOS4 distribution had to be rebuilt (relinked) to run on SunOS 4.1. Sites which already have Sun/IRAF V2.9 will need to obtain the patch and the new BINs in order to run IRAF on SunOS 4.1. The archive now contains both the patches to the pre-May 5 distributions, and new distribution files already incorporating the patch. Hence, if you obtained an IRAF distribution from the archive prior to May 5 you will need to obtain and install the patch (only a few files are affected so this is no big deal). If you obtained IRAF from the archive after May 5 then you can forget about the patch, since the new distribution files already have the patch applied. (5/6) iraf/ORDERFORM + iraf/v29/ORDERFORM + Placed a copy of the new IRAF order form in the archive. This may be filled out and returned to order the IRAF distribution on tape, or to order printed IRAF manuals. (5/10) iraf/v29/vms5 + iraf/v29/VMS5/ia_vms5_vms + Added the following aliases (symbolic links) for the VMS5 and ia.vms5.vax directories, to allow specification of these directories in VMS directory specifications. This was needed to be able to access the VMS5 distribution files in ia.vms5.vax via VMS. For example, to copy these files from the archive to the local node via SPAN: $ copy/log 5362::arc:[ftp.iraf.v29.vms5.ia_vms5_vax]*.* [] will copy all the ia_vms5_vax_z.NN split files. The README file in VMS5 will be updated to document this technique once the procedure has been better tested. (5/11) iraf/docs/MWCS.txt.Z + iraf/docs/PLIO.txt.Z + iraf/docs/QPOE.txt.Z + iraf/docs/daodev.ps.Z + iraf/docs/donessie.ps.Z + iraf/docs/doslit.ps.Z + iraf/docs/script.ps.Z + iraf/docs/sunkeys.ps.Z + iraf/docs/README Added the above documents to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (5/12) iraf/REGISTER + iraf/v2[89]/REGISTER + Added an IRAF MAILING LIST AND SITE REGISTRATION FORM to the network archive. All sites which obtain IRAF from the archive (including updates to a new release) should fill out and return the form! (5/24) iraf/v29/BUGS + iraf/v29/README Added a new file BUGS to the v29 release directory. This lists the known (and logged) bugs in the new release, and is updated periodically as new bugs are logged. (5/24) iraf/docs/sgi.ps.Z + Added this document to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (6/6) iraf/docs/bench.ps.Z + iraf/docs/bench_tab.ps.Z + iraf/docs/imfort.ps.Z + iraf/docs/imfortmem.ps.Z + iraf/docs/iraf.ps.Z + iraf/docs/prog_crib.txt.Z + Added these documents to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (6/15) iraf/docs/TOC_vol1a.txt + iraf/docs/TOC_vol2b.txt + iraf/docs/TOC_vol3a.txt + iraf/docs/TOC_vol3b.txt + Added the Table of Contents for the four volumes of IRAF documentation that are available in hard copy to the iraf/docs directory. Those documents that are available in either ASCII or PostScript form in the network archive are indicated as such in the TOC. The README file was updated as well. (6/17) util/README util/compress_vms.tar util/compress_vms.exe util/sum_vms.exe Installed new versions of the compress, uncompress, and sum (checksum) utilities for VMS. The old versions had a problem with odd size files, files not an integral number of device blocks in size. Evidently the VMS C versions of getc/getchar/fread etc. ignore the actual file size in bytes and read until the last physical block of the file is exhausted. If the file is not an integral number of blocks in length, some extra garbage data is returned at the end of the file. This would cause SUM, for example, to return the wrong checksum for the last split file of a compressed distribution file, since the last split file is generally an odd sized file. UNCOMPRESS would usually run, but upon closer examination could corrupt the data at the tail of the uncompressed output file. (6/20) iraf/docs/cluser.ps.Z + iraf/docs/daophot.ps.Z + iraf/docs/slits.ps.Z + Added these documents to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (6/20) tex/README + tex/aasmacros/* + Added WGAS LaTeX macro package to hierarchy; see the README file therein for more information. Created README file in tex directory. (6/22 CB) iraf/docs/DFIO.txt.Z + Added the preliminary draft DFIO (Datafile I/O) design document to the documentation archive. (6/25) iraf/docs/QPOE.txt.Z + Added the updated document for the Quick-POE Interface Design to iraf/docs. (6/26) iraf/docs/ccduser.ps.Z + iraf/docs/newslet_3.ps.Z + iraf/docs/newslet_5.ps.Z + iraf/docs/newslet_6.ps.Z + iraf/docs/newslet_7.ps.Z + iraf/docs/newslet_8.ps.Z + iraf/docs/newslet_9.ps.Z + iraf/docs/os.ps.Z + iraf/docs/std.ps.Z + Added these documents to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (6/27) util/compress_vms.tar util/compress_vms.exe util/sum_vms.exe The VMS compress and sum programs were further modified to allow specification on the command line of the number of file bytes to be used: [un]compress -s nbytes file sum -nb nbytes file This is occasionally necessary on VMS, as some VMS file operations can result in the file being padded to fill out an integral number of file blocks (i.e., the true file size can be lost). (6/28) iraf/docs/apex.ps.Z + iraf/docs/ccdguide.ps.Z + iraf/docs/ccdred.ps.Z + iraf/docs/dtoi.ps.Z + iraf/docs/oned.ps.Z + Added these documents to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (7/2) iraf/docs/d28sun.ps.Z + iraf/docs/d28vms.ps.Z + iraf/docs/d29sun.ps.Z + iraf/docs/d29vms.ps.Z + iraf/docs/lslit.ps.Z + Added these documents to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (7/4) iraf/docs/apspec.ps.Z + iraf/docs/newslet_4.ps.Z + iraf/docs/testproc.ps.Z + Added these documents to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (7/8) iraf/v29/SOS4/README iraf/v29/SOS4/sos4.patch2.Z + iraf/v29/S386/README iraf/v29/S386/s386.patch2.Z + iraf/v29/VMS5/README iraf/v29/VMS5/vms5.patch2_z + iraf/v29/DSUX/README iraf/v29/DSUX/dsux.patch2.Z + Installed a patch for each of the above architectures which fixes a bug in the V2.9 version of IMFORT which prevents access to images which are not in the current directory. (7/10) iraf/v29/DOM2/* + The V2.9 Domain-OS/IRAF release was placed on line. See the README file in DOM2 for instructions. (7/17/90 SRo) iraf/v29/README DOM2 was added to the list of supported releases. (7/17 SRo) iraf/v29/PORT/README iraf/v29/PORT/hs.dom2.gen/* + Added Domain/IRAF HSI. (7/17 SRo) iraf/docs/identify.ps.Z + iraf/docs/newslet_1.ps.Z + Added these documents to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file.

(8/20) iraf/docs/apuser.ps.Z + Added this document to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (8/22) iraf/docs/coudfig.ps.Z + iraf/docs/coudman.ps.Z + Added this document to the iraf/docs directory (one document in two pieces) and updated the README file. (9/2) iraf/v29/SOS4 iraf/v29/S386 iraf/v29/DSUX iraf/v29/VMS5 iraf/v29/MIPS + The V2.9.1 patch, and the V2.9.1 distribution (which replaces V2.9) has been installed in the archive. V2.9.1 provides support for and is required to run the beta release of PROS from SAO/CFA, includes support for the Exabyte tape driver under SunOS, provides support for the Sun Fortran 1.3 compiler, and includes patches for the most notable bugs found since V2.9 was released. Details of what the release contains and installation instructions are given for each host system in the README file in the distribution directory. (9/6) [DSUX added 9/7] [VMS5 added 9/9] [MIPS added 9/10] iraf/docs/apexv3.ps.Z + iraf/docs/doargus.ps.Z + iraf/docs/dofibers.ps.Z + iraf/docs/dogoldcam.ps.Z + iraf/docs/donessie.ps.Z + iraf/docs/doslit.ps.Z + iraf/docs/imredv2.ps.Z + iraf/docs/onedv3.ps.Z + iraf/docs/specproc.ps.Z + Added these documents to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (9/24) README iraf/README iraf/conf + misc/ + Added two new directories, iraf/conf (for information, forms, etc. for the November 1991 IRAF conference) and misc (for miscellaneous non-iraf programs or other stuff). iraf/conf/conf.pa + iraf/conf/conf.preg + Added the conference preliminary announcement and preregistration forms to the iraf/conf directory. (11/8) iraf/docs/newslet_2.ps.Z + Added this newsletter to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (11/15) iraf/v29/HPUX/ + iraf/v29/PORTS/hs.hpux.gen/ + iraf/v29/PORTS/README iraf/v29/README The V2.9 version of HP/IRAF was installed in the archive. (12/14 SRo/DCT). iraf/docs/prog_crib.txt.Z Updated doc to include a Table of Contents. (03/12) iraf.old/readme.rv0 + iraf.old/rv0.tar.Z + The RV0 package (initial beta test version) was installed for distribution as a layered package. RV0 is the level-zero release of the revised Radial Velocity analysis package. Existing users of the old RV package should upgrade to this new version if at all possible. (04/01) iraf/docs/newslet_10.ps.Z + Added October 1990 IRAF Newsletter to the iraf/docs directory and updated the README file. (04/11) iraf/v29/IRIX/ + iraf/v29/PORT/hs.irix.gen/ + iraf/v29/PORT/README iraf/v29/README Installed the IRIX/IRAF distribution (IRAF for Silicon Graphics workstations). (5/7/91 SRo) iraf/docs/daodev.ps.Z Updated document to include figure. (6/7/91) iraf/docs/daophot.ps.Z Updated document to include figures. (6/11/91) iraf.old/ctio.tar.Z iraf.old/readme.ctio Updated archive file from Ursa distribution (wtar -otvf) to include corrected ctio.hd, helpdb.mip, and ctio.db files, after installing these files on Ursa from Pedro's account on Tucana. He'd sent these fixes as followup to my bug report to him about ctio.hd. I removed the instruction about running mkhelpdb from the readme file, since this is not necessary with helpdb.mip. (8/5/91 CB) iraf/v29/SOS4/README iraf/v29/SOS4/sos4.patch5.Z + Installed patch 5 for V2.9 Sun/IRAF. Applying this patch to V2.9.1 Sun/IRAF upgrades IRAF to V2.9.3. V2.9.3 is required to run the latest (September 1991) release of the PROS package from SAO. (9/18) iraf.old/spplint.tar.Z + iraf.old/readme.spplint + Installed the SPPLINT archive. SPPLINT is a csh script utility for checking SPP source files in a manner similar to the UNIX LINT C-source utility. (10/16/91 MJF) iraf/v29/SOS4/README Corrected typos (IB -> NB for noao binaries). (10/21/91 SRo) iraf/v29/README iraf/v29/ALNT/* + Added Alliant/IRAF to the network distribution. (11/12/91 SRo) iraf/docs/focas/focas.ps.Z + iraf/docs/focas/sky.ps.Z + iraf/docs/focas/standards.ps.Z + Added FOCAS documentation. (3/24/92 fv) iraf/v210/ + iraf/v210/SOS4 + iraf/v210/PORT + The V2.10EXPORT distribution has been built and is in the archive, however we will keep world read permission of the directories for several days to allow time to check out the distribtion files by installing onto our local systems. The initial release is for SunOS but all the other distributions will follow as we get time to do the updates and testing. This will likely take several months. (4/30) iraf/v210/ Put world read permission on the v2.10 distribution directory. V2.10 (Sun/IRAF initially) is now available to be picked up from the archive. Refer to the README files in these directories for additional information. In particular, note that as of this date all the release docuentation is not net available. (5/09) iraf/docs/apexv210.ps.Z + iraf/docs/daophot2.ps.Z + iraf/docs/do3fiber.ps.Z + iraf/docs/doargus2.ps.Z + iraf.docs/doecslit.ps.Z + iraf/docs/dofibers2.ps.Z + iraf/docs/dofoe.ps.Z + iraf/docs/dohydra.ps.Z + iraf/docs/doslit2.ps.Z + iraf/docs/newslet_11.ps.Z + iraf/docs/spect.ps.Z + iraf/docs/TOC_news.txt + Added an assortment of V2.10 documentation to the docs directory.

(7/08) iraf/v210/v210revs.ms.Z iraf/v210/v210revs.ps.Z iraf/docs/v210revs.ps.Z + Installed the completed V2.10 revisions summary. This is a 50 page document containing extensive documentation describing the new features of V2.10 IRAF, and should be read by all serious IRAF users. (7/08) iraf/v210/SOS4 A new version of the V2.10 Sun/IRAF release was installed. This adds updated versions of the Sun/IRAF installation guide and site manager's guide, as well as patch0 and a new set of BINS, to upgrade existing releases to V2.10.0 revision 1. Read the README file in this directory for additional information. (7/08) iraf/docs/suniraf.ps.Z iraf/docs/sunsmg.ps.Z iraf/docs/mem0.ps.Z Updated versions of the Sun/IRAF installation guide and site manager's guide were copied into the documentation archive. A typo was fixed in the MEM0 paper. (7/18/92 jvb) iraf/v210/SOS4/patch1.tar.Z + iraf/v210/SOS4/README Installed patch 1 (V2.10.1). This fixes bugs in onedspec and longslit. (7/24) iraf/v210/SOS4/README iraf/v210/SOS4/phsibin.403.tar.Z + Installed a patch used to replace the HSI binaries on Sun-3 systems running 4.0.3. (8/12) misc/tcopy.tar.Z + misc/tcopy.bak.Z + Added the VMS copytape program TCOPY as both a compressed tar file and a compressed backup save-set. (8/19/92) misc/README + Added a README file for the directory contents. (8/19/92) iraf.old/color.tar.Z iraf.old/readme.color + A prototype package for creating RGB composite images from IRAF images. This provides a Sun 24-bit RGB rasterfile format and a special 8-bit pixel dithering algorithm. This is source only and must be compiled. (8/26/92 Valdes) iraf/docs/TOC_news.txt Updated the TOC for the last issue of the IRAF Newsletter Number 12, July 1992. (8/30/92 jvb) iraf.old/adccdrom.tar.Z iraf.old/readme.adccdrom Updated to extend the length of an expression and to avoid truncating catalog values which exceed the precision of a real. (9/4/92 Valdes) iraf.old/focasstds.tar.Z iraf.old/readme.focasstds The file focasstds.tar.Z contains FOCAS test images and processing results. The contents are described in the FOCAS Standard Test Image paper. This paper is available in iraf/docs/focas and appears in the Proceedings of the 1st ESO/ST-ECF Data Analysis Workshop, 1989. Because of it's large size this file may be removed if disk space becomes tight. (9/11/92, Valdes) iraf/v210/IRIX/* + iraf/v210/S386/* + iraf/v210/DSUX/* + iraf/v210/VXUX/* + iraf/v210/README Installed the SGI IRIX, Sun 386i, Decstation Ultrix, and VAX Ultrix V2.10 distributions. These all include new Installation and Site Manager's guides. See the README file in each directory for further information. (9/14) iraf.old/saoimage.ps.Z + iraf.old/saoman.ps.Z + Installed PostScript versions of the SAOimage help page and SAOimage User's Manual. (9/17/92 MJF) iraf.old/color.tar.Z iraf.old/readme.color + Version 2 of the COLOR package. This version includes a task to compress 24-bit RGB data from 3 IRAF images to an 8-bit IRAF image using Heckbert's Median Cut Algorithm and apply Floyd- Steinberg dithering. This image and associated color map may be used with SAOimage (V1.07) or IMTOOL. Also the pixel dither task was modified to allow the user to specify a dither pattern. Finally the task names were changed to make a consistent package. This is source only and must be compiled. (10/12/92 Valdes) iraf.old/saoimage.v107.tar.Z + Added V1.07 of SAOimage. This contains only minor revisions needed by the COLOR package. (10/14/92 MJF) iraf/docs/mem0b.ps.Z + iraf/docs/mem0.ps.Z - Added updated doc for Wu's mem0b release. (10/16/92 jb) iraf/contrib/mem0b.tar.Z + iraf/contrib/mem0b.readme + iraf/contrib/mem0.tar.Z - iraf/contrib/mem0.readme - Updated Wu's MEM0 package. (10/16/92 MJF) iraf.old/readme.spplint - iraf.old/spplint.tar.Z - iraf.old/spptools.tar.Z + iraf.old/readme.spptools + Removed the old SPPLINT archive and added the new SPPTOOLS external package. SPPTOOLS contains tasks, some modified public domain and some original, to help SPP programmers debug their code and perhaps better understand it. This is the initial release of the package and may still contain bugs, it will be revised in the near future. (10/26/92 MJF) iraf.old/readme.nmisc + iraf.old/nmisc.tar.Z + This external package contains NOAO developed tasks which by themselves are too minor to form their own external package. These tasks are made available in this package prior to distribution as part of the standard IRAF core system or NOAO package. Thus the contents of this package will vary with time. The current contents of the package are: specfocus -- Determine spectral focus and alignment variations (10/27/92, Valdes) iraf/docs/sppguide.ps.Z + iraf/docs/quickref.ps.Z + Added the SPP User's Guide and Quick Reference Card. (10/30/92, RLS) iraf.old/readme.examples + iraf.old/examples.tar.Z + Added the examples package from the SPP User's Guide. (10/30/92, RLS) iraf.old/scripts.ps.Z - Removed a superfluous copy of the Script Manual, which is also in iraf/docs. (10/30/92, RLS) iraf/v210/SOS4/README iraf/v210/SOS4/patch2.tar.Z iraf/v210/SOS4/ib.sos4.spc iraf/v210/SOS4/ib.sos4.f68 iraf/v210/SOS4/ib.sos4.fpa iraf/v210/SOS4/nb.sos4.spc iraf/v210/SOS4/nb.sos4.f68 iraf/v210/SOS4/nb.sos4.fpa Installed patch-2 (V2.10.2) for Sun/IRAF. See the README file for details. (11/30/92) iraf/docs/specwcs.ps.Z Added a long-version copy of the ADASS2 paper on the spectral world coordinate systems.

(7/01) iraf.old/readme.nmisc + iraf.old/nmisc.tar.Z + iraf.old/readme.nmiscOLD iraf.old/nmiscOLD.tar.Z This external package contains NOAO developed tasks which by themselves are too minor to form their own external package. These tasks are made available in this package prior to distribution as part of the standard IRAF core system or NOAO package. Thus the contents of this package will vary with time. The current contents of the package are: psfmeasure -- Measure PSF sizes from stellar images specfocus -- Determine spectral focus and alignment variations starfocus -- Determine direct focus variations from stellar images The task psfmeasure and starfocus are new and are being released for beta testing. Please report any problems or bugs. (7/7/93, Valdes) iraf.old/focas.faq + A FAQ file for FOCAS was quickly put together and added to the distribution files.
