MODULE:	astcalc
SYSTEM:	V2.10-V2.11.2

FROM:	valdes

BUG:	When ASTCALC is run on more than one image at a time the image
	is incorrectly opened twice and only closed once.  This has
	one consequence, if the list of images is large (greater than
	about 60) and they are in the Space Telescope Geiss format
	(the files with ??h and ??d extensions) then the task will
	run out of file descriptors with an error message such as

	    ERROR: 757 noao/lib$obsdb.dat
	    ERROR: 787 pix61.c0h4451ef

	The workarounds are 1) use smaller lists of images per execution,
	2) change the image format to imh or fits, 3) run the task in
	a script loop using one image at a time.

STATUS:	Fixed for the next release.

BUG:	ARED external package versions prior to 'Rev 1.32 - Oct 8, 1999'
	installed with IRAF V2.11.2 cause the QUADPROC task to produce
	the error:

	ERROR: parameter `output' not found
	    quadproc (images=tryme.fits)

	QUADPROC is a script that calls CCDPROC and the parameter 'output'
	is a new parameter in that task.  Installation of ARED includes
	copying the CCDPROC executable but not the parameter file.
	The workaround is either to get the latest version of ARED or
	edit the file quad$ccdproc.par (quad is defined after loading
	the quad package) to add the line:

	output,s,h,'',,,List of output CCD images

	after the first line.

STATUS:	ARED package updated to include the revised ccdproc.par file.
