graphics device

To get eps files of vector graphics, I tried to send graphics to device uepsf. It does come back but without generating the normal sgi...eps file. If I execute gflush at that point (not normally needed), I get a segmentation fault and a zero length sgi...eps file. What's up with that?
I was poking around for a new version of stsdas to load with iraf version 15. But the most recent one (jan. 2011) seems to still be for version 14. Can the these old versions of external packages still be loaded with the new iraf version 15?

You didn't say which platform this was on, but I was able to reproduce the problem on linux64/macintel systems (it was due to a timestamp declaration problem). I've put patched binaries for both platforms in ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v215/support

v2.15 was specifically designed to allow older and minimally maintained packages like STSDAS to continue to run. The official statement from ST is that they do not plan to support 64-bit platforms, but IRAF will automatically use 32-bit binaries when needed.

Are there instructions somewhere for how to install the patches?
Thanks.

Thanks.

Just download the appropriate file from ftp://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/v215/support and install in the $iraf/unix/bin.<arch> directory. You'll need to be sure to download in binary mode and rename the file to e.g. 'sgi2ueps.e'.
