Hi BC,
The LNUX distribution of PC-IRAF should work on your machine
(it is really the OS version that matters). You'll need the three
distribution files ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v212/PCIX/patch2a/as.pcix.gen.gz
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v212/PCIX/patch2a/ib.lnux.x86.gz
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v212/PCIX/patch2a/nb.lnux.x86.gzfor the latest V2.12.2a version of the system. See also the installation
guide (pciraf.ps.gz) and Site Manager's guide (unixsmg.ps.gz) from the
ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v212/PCIX main directory. Hope this helps.Regards,
Mike Fitzpatrick
