+Subject: IRAF @ IPAC    [up]
+Cc: noao\!tody
+Status: RO
+
+Steve,
+
+The news is mostly good:  IRAF is up at IPAC!  The blessed event
+occurred at 11:44:46 PST on 26 Feb.  The new addition weighed in at
+a little over 46Mb.
+
+All of our trouble seems to have been related to an obstinate fortran
+optimizer.  Once I figured out how to turn off that -O flag everywhere
+in IRAF's mkpkg, it all fell into place. (As promised, a list of
+files that gave our optimizer indigestion follows, but I'm convinced
+the problem is with some northern California compiler writers and not
+with IRAF.)
+
+I did run into a problem quite quickly though.  I managed to make the
+help data base by doing this:
+
+cl> softools
+so> mkhelpdb
+
+IRAF proceeded to produce lots of stuff.
+With many of the "help" requests that I tried the formatted manual
+page printed on the screen as expected, followed by a listing of
+what appeared to an unformatted copy of the same help file (there
+were lots of .xx commands at the beginning of lines).  Once this
+starts to print out, a response of "n" to "More?" causes the whole
+of iraf to crash.  If I coax it with an interupt I receive the message,
+
+ERROR: subprocess is hung: process should be killed
+
+wait several seconds and interupt again, then I'm back in the csh
+(this is probably our unix doing houskeeping).
+
+Not a very well documented bug, but I wanted to get it to you
+right away.  The "help" is all I have to learn IRAF! (Sob, poor me).
