Small example:
Code:
ds9: image server: M67 ; catalog gsc 2.1 ; save as VO table: ds9.xml

and now:
Code:
ecl> tinfo ds9.xml
FITSIO status = 261: illegal TFORM format code
Error: binary table TFORM code is blank (ffbnfm).
Failed to write binary table header keywords (ffphbn)

But let's continue:
Code:
ecl> tinfo ds9.xml
ERROR: Abnormal termination of child process 'bin$x_nttools.e'

Once again:
Code:
ecl> tinfo ds9.xml
can't open ds9.xml
Warning: column found in line 11 that was not defined in first row

So there is a problem with VO tables.

I'm not quite sure how it is you produced the ds9.xml file, would you mind either emailing it to me directly or putting it in the anonftp at ftp://iraf.noao.edu ? Thanks.

OK, in DS9:
Code:
(1) Analysis | Image Servers | SAO-DSS | Object: M67
(2) Analysis | Catalogs | Optical GSC 2.1
(3) [Catalog Tool:] File | Save | VOTable: ds9.xml

The problem is that the votable uses 'unsignedByte' as a FIELD type and this isn't recognized in the FITS conversion code. This is one of those bug fixes that would update all the binaries (which I'll do for the next general update), if you'd like a simple update to the NTTOOLS and VO package binaries then please just let me know what platform you're on and I'll put them in the support directory.

You're probably still using the (corrupted) cache file from earlier, try doing a

Code:
fcache init


The file should then be readable with the latest binaries.

How to explain this (v2.16):
Code:
vocl> tinfo http://iraf.noao.edu/votest/usno-b.xml
# http://iraf.noao.edu/votest/usno-b.xml
  65 rows written to table
  16 columns defined
 188 header parameters written to table
 215 records allocated for header parameters
  16 space allocated for column descriptors
table type:  fits
vocl>

and now:
Code:
vocl> tables

So do we have some kind of "tinfo" conflict?

The STSDAS/TABLES packages from STScI are linked against v2.14 and so are 32-bit only and don't understand the new VOTables and such. If you don't explicitly load TABLES, you use the NTTOOLS version of TABLES.TTOOLS that is a fully integrated part of v2.16 (i.e. 64-bit and VO support).

You can always do a "cl> which tinfo" to find out which version will be used or just explicitly load NTTOOLS is there is some chance for confusion.
