p>STSDAS and Tables were upgraded to version 3.1 a few weeks ago. These are rather large packages and I’ll try and get .pkg installers for them up on the download page soon.

.Here’s a simple but nifty trick. Say you’re navigating around in the Terminal and you would like to see the present working directory in the Finder? Just type

p>Well, I’ve spent the better part of the day getting this new Blog up and running. I wanted to populate the blog with old entries from the news on the IRAF page.

p>Remember that the Archive and Install feature of the Jaguar and Panther installers move pretty much everything into /Previous Systems/ and this includes /usr/local. In order to get X11IRAF and IDL things that you probably installed in /usr/local/bin you’ll have to navigate in the terminal into Previous System/Previous Systems 1/usr and then

% sudo mv local /usr/local
which should do the job. I’m fairly certain a fresh install of OS X does not put anything in /usr/local, but you might want to check first.
