He tried that, but the large distribution was too large for his laptop 
computer and he does not have a spare partition on his desktop computer, 
therefore installed Cygwin.   He is trying to make that work, but would 
still prefer to eventually install to laptop.   I suggested BL3 on laptop. 
He wants to try BL3 on the desktop, under qemu, and if he could set up 
IRAF that way it would be useful.  He said it took several tries to get it 
working under Cygwin and they have some trial setup with help.

What additional packages would be helpful to add to BL3 to use the older 
IRAF for SW4.0?
