NB!NB!NB!NB! Exiting mkcatalog

H.J. van Heerden wrote on Mar 06, 2008

Hi :x

I must be stupit but how do you exit mkcatalog, or to put it another way what are the kaystrokes to get the <EOF> chatacter ^Z, because I have tried typing

shiht-^-Z - illigal command
cntrl-Z - exit IRAF alltogether
alt-cntrl-Z - exit iraf ...
cntrl-shift-Z - illigal command
<EOF> - illigal command

and on and on

I am frustrated beyond words, because my own catalogs isn't in the correct format, and I thus need mkcatalog to create the neseccary catalogs with the correct format.

PLEASE HELP

Thanx
Pat

Pat,

Most likely your EOF character is Ctrl-D. You can verify this using the "stty -a" command at the unix prompt and look for the 'eof' value.
