Hi Roberto,> I am trying to use IMFORT to read fits images from within cl.

at that). If you were able to get the task to run then there must have
been an image by the same name but with a .imh extension in the same
directory.

> ERROR: Abnormal termination of child process '??' This is a general error message that normally means the process
itself wouldn't start in the first place. If you execute the task outside
of the CL you sometimes get a more informative error message from the
system (e.g. missing shared lib). Note that something general like a
"memory corrupted" error needs to be debugged first and since this is a
host program its easiest to do this outside of the CL as well. If you're
using a linux 2.6 kernel then try adding a "limit stacksize unlimited" to
your .cshrc or on the command-line before you run the task. This is done
automatically by the CL login script but foreign tasks are run in a
subshell that won't pick it up.
Hope this helps.Cheers,
