    Hi...I have some .mxhi (merged extracted high dispersion) files which i have downloaded from IUE site. Now in order to retrieve data i need to convert them into .fits format. I thought of using idl for that. Now there is a function readmx in idl which does that, which is available in idl libraries. Now, this readmx calls various functions...one of them is keygen.pro. I am able to read the .mx files but while writing them to a .fits file the problem arises. In  keygen.pro code, somewhere !IUER.dat is mentioned which is not acceptable by idl. It says % Compiled module: KEYGEN. % Not a legal system variable: !IUER. % Execution halted at: KEYGEN   You can see the details at: http://archive.stsci.edu/...iuedacfits.html#cook         Nisha

    Dear Nisha, I looked at the link you provided, and the author of that page states that "IUEDAC routines generally run on IDL versions 3-5".  Those are very old versions of IDL.  The current version is 7.1.  Are you using one of the older versions that the authors suggest? If you are, then I think that you will need to contact the authors of this code for help debugging it.  The web site at the URL you provided gives this contact information: archive@stsci.edu 410-338-4547. Good luck Peg
