On the Sun-2, the problems were in the +optimizer. See the "sun2*.doc" files for documentation on which +IRAF source files generated compile-time and run-time problems. + +On the Sun-3, the worst problem was that Sun forgot about complex +datatypes after Sun V2.0. See the notes in the "sun3*.doc" files. +Sun still (June 24) has not solved the problem, but Doug Tody came +up with workarounds; look for the string "kludge" in "sun3_042586.doc" +and in the directory $iraf/unix/hlib/SUN_kludge/. + +There were also three IRAF source files that generated run-time +errors on the Sun-3 due to bugs in the "-f68881" version of the f77 +optimizer; these files are documented in "sun3_f77Obugs.doc". + |
