Here's the current 0_README file from ~pmurphy/aips/MNJ.  I've just gone
through all the $UPDUNIX files to see what needs changed, and come up with
the list shown in the file.

This area for modifying the MNJ to have full time code.  This is going to
be achieved mainly by forcing the RunTime variable to have complete date
and time code, and ensuring the two utility C programs can handle this.

The format used will be the output of "date -u +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S".  Note that
this is (a) in Universal Time, and (b) produces a sortable date.

When this comes to be deployed, the checkout system will need frozen for a
period of 24 hours to make 100% sure nothing will be lost.  This may be
paranoid, but it's the only way to ensure correctness.

  File          Status    Work needed
  ========================================================================
  AIPSUPD       done      RunTime variable contains date/time.
  MAKE.MNJ      pending   Begin date needs to have UT.
  RUNTIME.SED   ???????   Is this even used anymore?  A grep shows nada!
  UPDAREAS      ---       No change needed
  UPDCOMLNK     ---       No change needed
  UPDCOMRPL     ---       No change needed
  UPDCONFIG     ---       No change needed
  UPDCONTROL    possible  sort commands?
  UPDCOPY       ---       No change needed
  UPDCOPYSUB    ---       No change needed
  UPDERROR      ---       No change needed (but should use sendmail, not mail)
  UPDLSTDAT.c   editing   Needs strcmp to work on date/time, not just date
  UPDOBSLT.c    pending   Evaluate if anything needs changed; maybe not?
  UPDREMOVE     ---       No change needed
  UPDREPORT     pending   Should show UT date, use sendmail, not mail.
  UPDSRTUNQ     possible  Evaluate; make sure sort options will still work
  UPDSRTUNQ.SED possible  Evaluate; make sure sort options will still work
  UPDSSHD.PL    possible  Perhaps should log in UT?

  COMRPL.ADD    possible  | These are put in $SYSLOCAL by MAKE.MNJ.  Might
  COMLNK.ADD    possible  | need some work?

In addition, the $SYSPERL/MNJWATCH script may need changing; I haven't
checked it yet.
