If you are using HEASOFT v6.12 and don't want to upgrade to v6.13 just yet, see the HEASOFT 6.12 Issues List.

Please visit the HEASOFT Supported Platforms page for current information about supported operating systems and compilers.

Several packages track issues separately from this page:

• fv
• XSPEC
• XRONOS
• XIMAGE

The following is a list of known issues in v6.13 of HEAsoft not covered by the above pages.

• uvotgrplot:
  
  This Swift/UVOT task may fail with a Fortran runtime error while generating a postscript plot when compiled using gfortran 4.6.2 (fink) on Mac OS X. At present we suspect a compiler bug and recommend using an alternate compiler from the options on our support page.



• xselect:
  
  The "save all" option issues the query "File already exists, overwrite it?" before prompting for a filename. We continue to work toward a solution, but in the meantime users should answer the queries in reverse order.
