Notes for fast_install-V1.05.tar - November 21. 2011

The patch defgb43i.tar was included. This release fixed a bug 
that produced day max+2 (e.g. May 33) if a gmt conversion caused
a date rollforward across an end-of-month.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Contents of fast_install-V1.04.tar - May 27, 2011

Rename creation of dir to be _dir_ so that it won't replace existing 
version.

Replace ioopen_routines.c in the defgb src area to address bug with
comment replacement.

Add comments to README about being at JGOFS/GLOBEC Version 2 first.

In version fast_install-V1.03.tar we included a copy of the cgi-lib.pl
library in the <JGOFS/GLOBEC>/htmlbin directory as it is needed for 
a couple of scripts. If your system already has this code, you can delete
this copy.

testing modules, with new names replacing parse.o.

will also direct you to the full documentation of the changes.  Highlights

Contents of jgofs-V2.00.tar - November 5, 2008

	New features of the release require Perl:  build.pl replaces build,
build-env.pl replaces build-env.

	New outer.c paradigm, to support possible per-method customization.

	New handling of makefile.jgofs (the makefile to build the library), 
to protect against accidentally clobbering a locally customized makefile.jgofs.

        A new subdirectory called src/images is added to include the
gif images used by the methods for the different buttons.

        Changed default.h buffer sizes for TOKEN, DATUMSIZE, and 
OUTBUFSIZE.

installation and for upgrade.

Pending changes:

        Modify assignment for AR in build to accommodate different
architectures better.

        Modify the build-env file for changes to the AR definitions
and change the default values for PERL and SYS.

        Still need to clean up where outer.c comes from, especially
for the defgb build.
	
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contents of jgofs-V1.73.tar - February 4, 2004

	Remove older, unused versions of defgb and remove the misleading
README file within the src/defgb directory.

	Reorganize the defgb distribution by placing common subroutines
in the lib/ directory and library file.  Move the "brev" version of outer
to the standard location so all methods use the same one.

	Add a preliminary release of the Matlab utility, loadjg, to allow 
reading of JGOFS data directly by Matlab.  [Implimentation not yet complete.  
The makefile needs additional work.]

	Improve the installation instructions.
	
	Edit the parse_path_info doc file.

	Update default.h and outer.h  with larger ATTRSIZE.  Change 
from 40 to 80.

	Replace jdb.c version 1.1c with version 1.1e.  Improved error handling
with add conditional compilations for debug options.

	Replace listvar.c with Version 1.3a  16 Oct 2003.  It explicitly
exists with status of 0 after a normal execution.

	Remove the older, unused, and archived files out of the distribution.

	There is a new release of list.c, V1.6b.  Several new switches were
added and some *.h files are expected to be in the include subdirectory.

	Change MIN_DATUMSIZE 120 to 240 in list.h.
	
	HTTCP.c V1.4 dated 3 December 2003 replaces sys_errlist and
sys_nerr with strerro.  This fixes a problem which occured in Linux
compilations.  Add version definition to the code.
	
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

field name lines.

	Change build-env to specify PROGRAM as other for more
generic users.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Contents of jgofs-V1.70.tar - February 5, 2002

Contents of jgofs-V1.6.tar - January 25, 2002

This tar file contains the newest version of HTTCP.c and a special
version of the dir CGI script if you want to handle multiple directories
(columns), one for each "program" element.  To use, make the following
changes from your JGOFS root directory:
	mv src/htmlbin/multi_columns_makefile.aaserv  src/htmlbin/makefile.aaserv
	mv src/htmlbin/multi_columns_dir_pl.tmp src/htmlbin/dir_pl.tmp
Also, edit the build-env script according to the instructions in the file.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contents of jgofs-V1.5a.tar

This tar file contains the JGOFS software as distributed by MIT's
Glenn Fleurl (V1.5), but it has the new directory structure, and the
make files have been modified to use it.  Its outer is outer_brev
which permits the optional short data listing to the web site.  It
has defgb within the ../src subdirectory and all the defgb utility
routines are in the library as one would hope.  It also has the new
jdb.c.
