NUMBER: 458 MODULE: imcombine, combine SYSTEM: V2.11.3 DATE: Wed Jan 12 13:32:54 MST 2000 FROM: valdes BUG: When combining input images that have been dimensionally reduced (those have a WCSDIM keyword greater than the logical dimension of the image and having a WAXMAP01 keyword) and using offsets the error Warning: MWCS: dimension mismatch (mw_gltermd) will appear. Even though it says it is a warning it is really a fatal error and the task will quit. Dimensional reduction occurs with copying out a lower dimensional section of an image; i.e. copying a 2D plane from a 3D image. The workaround is to reset the headers of the input image to remove the dimensional reduction. This is done by deleting the keywords WCSDIM and WAXMAP01. STATUS: Fixed for the next release.

but, i'm using IRAF 2.13-BETA2 on a macintel and i could not get fixpix to work. it kept giving the same error:
Warning: MWCS: dimension mismatch (mw_gltermd)
i searched and found this bug report. indeed, i had been supplying fixpix with a dimensionally reduced image. i deleted the WCSDIM and WAXMAP01 keywords, and then fixpix worked perfectly.
