2. Fix memory leaks: add the following two lines:

in In the procedure $XIDL_DIR/SPEC/ARCS/x_fndpeaks.pro, line 100 :
   insert the following (in black; original code in gray):
      autofit = x_calcfit(xdat, FITSTR=fitstr)
      if ptr_valid(fitstr.ffit) EQ 1 then ptr_free, fitstr.ffitin
  endif else begin

In the procedure $XIDL_DIR/FIT/x_fit.pro, line 211 :
   insert the following (in black; original code in gray):
      if not keyword_set( NONRM ) then fitstr.nrm = nrm
      if ptr_valid(fitstr.ffit) EQ 1 then ptr_free, fitstr.ffit
      fitstr.ffit = ptr_new(ffit)

3. Add FIRE as an instrument option:

in the file In the procedure $XIDL_DIR/SPEC/LONGSLIT/PRO/BIAS/long_rdnoiseimg.pro, add at or near line 100:

unmigrated-wiki-markuprn_img = transpose(rn_img)

ENDIF ELSE IF strcmp(instrument, 'FIRE') THEN BEGIN    BEGIN
   rn_img = fltarr(nx,ny)   
   rn_img\[*\] = 10.0

ENDIF ELSE IF strmatch(instrument, 'IMACS') OR $

N.B. If the line numbers change in future versions of xidl (and they may already have...), I've shown in gray the lines above and below where the new code should be inserted to work properly.

[Note, this approximates the read noise for FIRE as 10e-, which is good enough for the purposes where this code is used.  For a detailed calculation of the noise model we must find the noise as a function of Fowler or SUTR reads, which will be implemented soon Wiki Markup\[Note, this approximates the read noise for FIRE as 10e-, which is good enough for the purposes where this code is used.  For a detailed calculation of the noise model we must find the noise as a function of Fowler or SUTR reads, which will be implemented soon\]
