I created a binary table using "tcreate" and "tedit"
on a Sun workstation running Solaris. The
ttools package works without a hitch. The IRAF distribution
is the EXPORT version of Sun/IRAF V2.11 for SunOS 4 and Solaris 2.7.I transferred the table to a PC running
linux. It is running the EXPORT version of PC-IRAF V2.12.
(The file does not appear to be corrupted in any way; and
I tried the transfer with ssh, and with sftp with explicit
"binary."The version of IRAF that's running on the Linux box cannot read
tables created with IRAF on the Sun box - see error message below.
Can you tell what's wrong?I checked that the files were being copied correctly, by scping
15Hmaster.tab from one of our linux machines, back to our Sun box, and
successfully running tlcol on it.The ".tab" files are binary tables described in the notes on
the IRAF project webpage. ON Sun Box:cl> tables
