freebsd?

What's the status of freebsd as a platform for iraf? I see it was supported by v2.12, but there's no reference to it that I can find in anything v2.14. I haven't found any reference to it being dropped as a platform either, so I'm not sure what to make of the situation. Thanks in advance.

FreeBSD is part of the PC-IRAF systems but just hasn't been built for distribution yet due to a lack of available systems. The SunOS/Solaris sparc port is complete and will cause a v2.14.1 release that will also include FreeBSD binaries. There's no particular hurry for this but people are starting to ask, so look for it in the next month or so.

Cheers,
-Mike

That's good news! It will be useful to have 2.14 on SPARC.

Thanks,

James.
