Hi Crystal,I confirmed the error you are seeing by copying 15Hmaster.tab to different
Linux system running IRAF, which all give the same error you saw on
sasanami:ta> tlcol 15Hmaster.tab
# 15Hmaster.tab
Warning: Unknown table type, or line too long for text file.I checked that the files were being copied correctly, by scping
15Hmaster.tab from one of our linux machines, back to indy, and
successfully running tlcol on it.I've cc'd hotseat@stsci.edu, who is listed as support for the TABLES
package.best,
