Greetings, I have a iraf-pc installation working fine. In it, I installed mxtools
package and installation ran smoothly. Equally installed were stsdas and
tables. However, when I try the command "matphot" in mxtools I getERROR: Iraf Main: Unknown task name (matphot)Other tasks in mxtools seem to work OK. Any idea to solve this?Thanks,
-Julio.

Dear Julio,MATPHOT now runs outside of IRAF as part of the MX package.Go to the websitehttp://www.noao.edu/noao/staff/mighell/matphot/and download the MX tarball and follow the instructions for building
the MX package. The webpage has a few example demos for MATPHOT
that you could try out.Please contact me at mighell@noao.edu if you would like to get
a more recent version of the package where I have been modeling
the pixel-phase flux loss of Channel 1 of Spitzer's IRAC instrument.-Ken Mighell

Dear Ken, Thanks for your reply. I downloaded MATPHOT from the suggested
website and installation seems to have been successful (bin/mx_mpd exists
and the demos ran as described).Regards,
