Beaumont Livingston notes that "the essential astronomy data reduction program," IRAF, is ported to OS X: "At this time there are no plans to make a special beta version of these new ports available prior to the final release. The preliminary ports work well enough that we can expect to fully support them for the V2.12 release but building and supporting a beta will only slow down the final release preparations; we appreciate your patience and are aware of the user interest in these systems."

It's nice to see a program get ported to Mac OS X before Windoze. Hopefully there will be a few hundred more of these programs ported from other unix-based environments in the coming months.
