STSDAS/TABLES 2.1.1 -- Summary of Release Notes

There is a new patch release for TABLES/STSDAS (v2.1.1) which fixes problems that appeared with the release of TABLES/STSDAS v2.1. The most serious problem was that acesses of double precision floating point columns in FITS binary tables were corrupted on PCIRAF and Tru64. A configuration file problem for Red Hat Linux resulted in some installations having difficulty building executables for STSDAS. Most of the other changes involved problems with help files, control-C handling for C tasks, and cleaning out files that did not belong in the source distribution (but were otherwise harmless). This release does not add any new tasks or functionality. See the TABLES patch release notes for more details.

Binaries are now available for Solaris and Redhat 6.0 (or later) -- see Downloading software. We will be producing binaries for Tru64, HPUX, and Slackware shortly. Check the STSDAS web page to see when they become available.

Manuals are provided for online viewing, or can be downloaded for printing. Quick reference cards are also available. The online help system can be browsed from within the web environment. Back issues of STSDAS Newsletters are available.
