task irlincor incorrectly(?) declared in irred.cl

Robert Jedrzejewski wrote on Jan 18, 2007

Hi,

The task irlincor is declared like this in noao$imred/irred/irred.cl:

task irlincor = "irred$x_irred.x"

While this works OK under the cl, it fails under PyRAF.

As far as I can see, this is the only example in the whole IRAF tree of a task being declared by naming its source file rather than its executable, so I suspect the .x extension was inadvertent.

Regards,

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the notice. It appears to be a typo from way back in 94 when the task was first imported from the CTIO package. It's a quirk of the CL that the extension actually gets deleted when the task in created, the CL knows it isn't script task and so when it constructs a path to the executable the .e becomes part of the path again. I've fixed it for the next release.

Thanks,
-Mike
