Two parts; first is a statement & warning, 2nd is question.<br>
<br>
<br>
1. The comments of at the top of the script have been updated in
content and format. If you have any code that parses information out
of the comments in the headers of these files you will need to look at
the new format and make adjustments accordingly. (My hope is that
there is no such software.)<br>
<br>
This work was done under <a
href="https://bugs.nrao.edu/browse/EVL-1549">JIRA EVL-1549</a>. An
example of the new format can be seen in the <a
href="https://bugs.nrao.edu/secure/attachment/12172/evlaScriptHead.txt">attachment</a>
to that issue.<br>
<br>
One of the new pieces of data is the program and version that were used
to create the script. The possible values for the program, so far, are:<br>
<br>
OST (if the script went through "normal" channels),<br>
OPT (if the script was downloaded from the OPT),<br>
m2sStable (used by Joe, Michael, and maybe a few others),<br>
m2sTest<br>
<br>
The above changes will be part of OPT and OST releases 1.08.00.<br>
<br>
<br>
2. In the scripts we are currently producing this (non-comment) line:<br>
<br>
<tt> programName = 'OPT'<br>
</tt><br>
We're not currently using that variable anywhere (did we goof there?).
The value 'OPT' is currently hardwired. My question has three parts:<br>
<br>
a. Should we continue creating this line?<br>
<br>
b. If "a" is "yes", should we be using it somewhere else in the script?<br>
<br>
c. If "a" is "yes", should we populate it with the program actually
used to create the script, or must it continue to be hardwired to OPT?<br>
