My friend trying to run IRAF spectrometry program says it is available for 
Redhat (or SuSE) - he does not know how to change it to use BL.   Does 
anyone want to try running IRAF from BL and letting him know how they did 
it?  He is most familiar with FreeBSD and Slackware is more similar than 
Redhat to it.

My guess is that it is set to use RPM.

Thanks for asking on the linux lists.....

I've got QEMU installed, and I'm going to try & run that under qemu (one of the 
layered packages that sits on top of IRAF is only available for redhat, 
solaris, and HPUX, unless I want to work real hard and fix all the subtle 
compile-time errors.
