+The file "iraf.h" is referenced as <iraf.h> in IRAF C source files, and is used
+to load all other IRAF/LIBC C header files via "#define import_XXX" defines in
+these files. In order for the C compiler to find <iraf.h>, one should either
+[1] add the directory $hlib/libc to the list of directories to be searched by
+the C compiler for include files, or [2] make a link to, or copy of,
+libc/iraf.h in the system directory /usr/include.
