[bananas]31DEC02 patches

[Eric Greisen]

Those of you with 31DEC)2 version may be unaware of the 5 patches now
issued.  Note that these patches are not applied to the 31DEC02 tar
ball that you can download.  You must apply these by hand after
installing 31DEC02.  The summary document is:

%-----------------------------------------------------------------------
% README File FOR AIPS Release 31DEC02
% This File describes the patches to known bugs in 31DEC02.  See also
% the patches.html file; it MUST contain the same information.
% placed under RCS control by Eric Greisen; aipspgmr group should have
% access most recent modification $Date: 2003/03/20 21:47:24 $ (UT)
% IMPORTANT: If you performed a binary "load-and-go" installation, and you
%            do *not* have any Fortran compiler (or your revision of the
%            compiler predates ours), you will most likely not be able to
%            apply most of these patches.  In particular, under Solaris,
%            Sun Fortran SC2.0.1 or later is required. 
%  Unfortunately, the NRAO AIPS group is unable at this time to provide
%  binary replacements for the affected tasks.

ID:           1.
Task:         KNTR

Summary:      KNTR needed more coordinate manipulation to handle
              plotting of polarization vectors when LTYPE=4 through 7.

Files:        /31DEC02/Y/PGM/KNTR.FOR

Fix:          1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in the
                 corresponding areas ($YPGM) on your system.
              2. COMLNK $YPGM/KNTR.FOR

ID:           2.
Task:         FITLD

Summary:      FITLD interpreted the BIF/EIF adverbs for the first data
              file. If later data files have a different number of
              IFs, errors would occur.  It was fixed to interpret the
              users' adverbs at each file.

Files:        /31DEC02/APL/PGM/NOTST/FITLD.FOR

Fix:          1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in
                 the corresponding area on your system ($APGNOT).
              2. COMLNK $APGNOT/FITLD

ID:           3.
Task:         IRING

Summary:      The coordinates of the center were miscomputed by one in
              each axis.

Files:        /31DEC02/Y/PRM/NOTST/IRING.FOR

Fix:          1. Fetch the file listed above and place it in the
                 corresponding area ($YPGNOT) on your system. 
              2. COMLNK $YPGNOT/IRING

ID:           4.
Task:         LWPLA

Summary:      LWPLA ignored ASPMM for the new plot types assigned to
              GREYS, KNTR, and PCNTR.  It also asserted that
              multi-page PostScript files are encapsulated, which by
              definition they are not.


Files:        /31DEC02/APL/DEV/ZLWIO.FOR
              /31DEC02/Y/PGM/LWPLA.FOR

Fix:          1. Fetch the files listed above and place them in
                 the corresponding areas ($APLGEN, $YPGM RESP.) on
                 your system.
              2. COMRPL $APLGEN/ZLWIO
              3. COMLNK $YPGM/LWPLA

ID:           5.
Task:         FILLM, PRTTP

Summary:      FILLM and PRTTP had an error in reading VLA archive data
              from disk.  The first (and in this case only )physical
              record in a logical record could contain fewer than 13
              2048-byte records.  A correction for this was not
              applied, although the case where later physical records
              in the logical record were "short" was handled.


Files:        /31DEC02/APL/PGM/PRTTP.FOR
              /31DEC02/APL/PGM/NOTST/FILLM.FOR

Fix:          1. Fetch the files listed above and place them in
                 the corresponding areas ($APLPGM nad $APGNOT, resp.)
                 on your system.
              2. COMLNK $APLPGM/PRTTP $APGNOT/FILLM
