I just installed IRAF V2.8 on my Sun 386i running OS4.0.1 and am
having the following problems:
1) When using eparam the cursor keys do not work correctly. Up arrow
moves things down, the other arrows don't work at all. Using the
j,h,k,l keys works ok.
2) Using vi I have similar symptoms. Further, vi complains that
there is no tags file.
3) When I exit from iraf and login as cab, a completely different
user, and try to fir up a DOS window, I find that the DOS cursors
don't work either. I can regain normal dos cursors only byusing
Shift+numlock+cursor key.

I have looked at the dev$vi.ed and found that it contains defintions
appropriate to SUN3/4 rather than 386's [I knew to look here
because of a similar problem on version 2.7 which you helped
solve. see e-mail from sjacoby of 2/23/89].
I tried modifying vi.ed accordingly and putting it in /files/vol/iraf,
but no joy.

Any suggestions? The installation went relatively smoothly. The text of the installation printout follows.

Hoping you can help.

Hello Charles, The output from the install script you sent contains lots of errors when
trying to link the IRAF host system executables to your local bin directory.
The existing links can't be removed (from the V2.7 installation) and
new links can't be made - permission denied. What local bin directory
did you specify to the install script - /usr/local/bin/? Are you running
install as root? When installing IRAF on a 386, the /usr partition must
be mounted read-write; it is mounted read-only by default. You need to
rerun the install script with write permission on /usr and your localbin
directory.The distributed IRAF V2.8 dev$vi.ed file contains the additional arrow
control sequences used by the 386. You shouldn't have had to add these
again. The same dev$vi.ed file is valid for SUN-3/4 and 386 machines.As for your other questions: 1) When using eparam the cursor keys do not work correctly. Up arrow
moves things down, the other arrows don't work at all. Using the
j,h,k,l keys works ok.I don't follow this... the up arrow moves things down? Do you have your
terminal set correctly? You should be using "cl> stty gterm". Maybe the
arrow keys are working as expected; the arrow keys work in EPARM as follows:
The up and down arrows move up and down through the list of parameters.
The left and right arrows are no-ops unless you are editing the value
that is currently being entered. The left and right arrows keys can be
used to edit a previously entered value by moving the cursor to the line
in question and type the UNDEL_LINE keystroke (^U^L in the default dev$vi.ed).
To double check the arrow control sequences, look in dev$vi.ed and compare
them with the values for k[udlr] in the UNIX /etc/termcap file. 2) Using vi I have similar symptoms. Further, vi complains that
there is no tags file.When you run EDIT in the CL, with editor = vi, the host level editor is
run. Editing in the CL should be the same as editing outside the CL. Do
you see a difference? About the tags file... it seems that vi has been
redefined somehow to expect a tags file. This can be done on the command
line (perhaps as an alias), with an environment variable EXINIT or from
a .exrc file. Has the default EDITOR_CMD string been changed in
dev$vi.ed? It should be just 'vi'. If this hasn't been modified you'll
have to investigate how vi is defined on your machine so it expects a
tage file. 3) When I exit from iraf and login as cab, a completely different
user, and try to fir up a DOS window, I find that the DOS cursors
don't work either. I can regain normal dos cursors only byusing
Shift+numlock+cursor key.This is odd. IRAF does reassign the arrow keys for a cursor read. This
means the arrow keys could get confused if you try to run something in a
DOS window while in interactive graphics mode. But, the keymapping should
return to the default values when cursor mode is exited. How are you
exiting the CL - do you use 'logout'? I hope some of this is helpful to you. Write back if you still have trouble.Suzanne
