iraf2.13-beta2 on MacBook Pro

I've just finished installing the Intel Mac binaries on my new Macbook Pro and it works great! It runs the Gemini test benchmark script considerably faster than the PPC binaries. Very nice Mike, thanks for doing this! :lol:
The results are impressive for floating point maths, better than my dual-proc G5 desktop and all our desktop Linux boxes! The image display section of the benchmark is good (using ds9) but the disk IO image creation section is slow due to the slow 5400rpm disk I guess. Anyway, running iraf on a laptop is now pretty damn competitive!
cheers,
