[bananas] Updated SLIME available

[Chris Flatters]

An updated version of SLIME, the interactive model-fitting "plug-in" for
AIPS is now available. Prebuilt packages are available for SPARC workstations
running Solaris 2.5 or later and for ALPHA/AXP workstations running Digital
UNIX 4.0. These packages have been built against the 15OCT99 version of AIPS
but should work with any version of AIPS from 15APR98 onwards. The packages
for 15OCT97 and earlier have been withdrawn.

This version fixes some memory leaks that caused SLIME to fail under Digital
UNIX under some circumstances and offers improved messages that provide
better advice on what to to if a least-squares solution fails to converge.
In addition the Digital UNIX version no longer requires the GNU C++ runtime
libraries to be installed.

The updated version of SLIME may be downloaded from the SLIME home page
