MODULE:	IMFORT
SYSTEM:	PCIX V2.11.1, DUNX V2.11.1

FROM:	tody

BUG:	When run on a byte-swapped platform (e.g. the DEC Alpha or a PC)
	IMFORT can generate images that have the byte swap flag set
	incorrectly in the image headers, causing the image pixels to be
	improperly byte swapped: image reads either return wildly invalid
	pixels or abort with a floating invalid exception.

STATUS:	The temporary fix is to install a new libimfort.a.  New versions of
	this library are available in the archives for PCIX (PC-IRAF) and
	DUNX (Digital Unix for the DEC Alpha).  This will be fixed more
	formerly in the upcoming V2.11.2 patch.  See the section at the end
	of the README file in each distribution directory for additional
	comments or other platform specific notes.
