 Iraf on SUN sparc2 with GS 3D accelerator

Jeannette -
We have recently acquired this machine with the GS card. Installation
of Iraf networking on this station gave some problem with imtool. With this
window opened, the window as well as the background keeps blinking. This
feature could not be rectified with the frame set up and control commands.
Is it likely that imtool will require an additional patch for this
workstation?
On the two Sparc2 stations that we have acquired last week, Open
Windows Version 2 is available. SUN Microsystems have urged us to switch
over to OW as they would be going off Sunview in their forthcoming releases
of the SUN OS. We would be interested in obtaining an OpenWindows version
of Iraf if you distribute it. Kindly let me know the details.-Anita anita@iucaa.ernet.in

Anita,
To my knowledge we don't have a GS board in-house so I can't really
test this out. You say installing iraf networking caused imtool to start
blinking? Was imtool blinking before you started networking? Was the
GS card just added or was iraf just installed on this machine? I'm not
sure how using networking could affect imtool (is iraf installed on
this machine or are you logged into another node running iraf?). Just to
be sure, you weren't using the "blink" button in IMTOOL right?
You may indeed need a patch to imtool but I'm not sure we can provide
one without having the board ourselves. Did you also get a document de-
scribing any changes that would have to be made to Sunview programs to use
the board? Your second question is much easier: Under OpenWindows users would
usually run xterm as their iraf window (ugly but workable), and SAOimage
as the image display (this is available from our archives). Several people
here still prefer to use GTERM/IMTOOL under OW which can also be done.
IMTOOL was changed for V2.10 so that it won't interfere as much with the color-
table. A replacement for xterm patterned after gterm, named XGTERM, is
under development now and should ship around the time of 2.10.Regards,
Mike FItzpatrick
