2.13beta2 on Mac OS X/ppc 10.3.9:problems with float images?

This thread got a bit blended so I'm not quite sure which patch you mean: The files in the http://iraf.net/ftp/pub/fitz directory are PPC binaries for 10.3 systems that patch a bug in the FPE handler. These new binaries you would put in the /iraf/irafbin/bin.macosx (IB) and /iraf/irafbin/noao.bin.macosx (NB) directories respectively. There's also a patch to the ECL to workaround the libncurses thing
and I could give you a patched libos.a if you're compiling something locally.

Is this a 10.3 or 10.4 system? Intel or PPC? Which specific patch are you after?

Cheers,
-Mike

This also fixes some sort of bug is displaying certain fits images in Tiger. I had a real fits file that I could use display on in the Intel build of OS X iraf, but not in the PPC. Using the replacement binaries removed the "bus error."

I'm incorporating the fixed binaries into my .pkg installer of IRAF 2.13 BETA 2 for PPC Macs.
