> HillaryHi Hillary,Assuming you are using IRAF v2.12.1, there is a known issue with that
version, in that the photcal parameter 'catdir' was not set correctly.
This is fixed in v2.12.2 (the most recent version of iraf). The error
was that catdir was set to 'photcalx$catalogs/', which does not exist.
If this is the case for you, you can easily change catdir (epar photcal)
to'photcal$catalogs/'(remember the trailing '/'.Hopefully that will fix the issue you are having. Let us know if that
doesn't work, or if there are other errors.Regards,Phillip

Ok that worked, thanks.On Wed, 11 Feb 2004 10:21:50 -0700
