IDL 6.3 for Intel Macs now avaliableStarted by:sirmarcos, 07/27/2006 10:55PM
While we're all IRAF-users here, it's
probably noteworthy for more than a few
Macintosh Astronomers here than IDL is
now available a universal binary.

typo fix for daophot.psfStarted by:Jason Quinn, 11/24/2007 05:09AM
The DAOPHOT psf task has a typo in its
parameters. There's a missing period.
Check the epar for the pstfile
parameter. It is

"Input psf star list(s) (default:
image.pst?)"

when it should be

"Input psf star list(s) (default:
image.pst.?)"
