% README File FOR AIPS Release 15OCT92 % This File describes the patches to known bugs in 15OCT92 Tasks for which patches have been made: =============================================================================== Task: FILLM Summary: When appending to existing files, FILLM failed to update a pointer to the sky frequency. If the previous observing mode had a different correlator mode, a completely wrong sky frequency was used, resulting in crazy u ,v, and w's. Bugs: The pointer now is updated correctly. Files: /15OCT92/APL/PGM/NOTST/FILLM.FOR Fix: (1) Get FILLM.FOR and place in $APGNOT (2) Recompile/relink FILLM.FOR with COMLNK ie: COMLNK $APGNOT/FILLM.FOR Documentor: Gustaaf van Moorsel Date: 1992.10.20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Task: FITTP, VLBIN, TVMON Summary: Antenna tables written by FITTP are bad on DecSystems. Bugs: For DECSTATIONS and DECSYSTEMS running ULTRIX only. (actually for any computer using IEEE floating point format that has little endian byte order). There is a bug in the ZRLR64 subroutine that can affect antenna tables and any other double precision output on FITS tape or disk file. Bytes were not getting swapped. The modified ZRLR64.FOR routine here fixes the problem. Files: /15OCT92/APL/DEV/ZRLR64.FOR Fix: (1) Get ZRLR64.FOR and place in $APLGEN (2) Recompile: COMRPL $APLGEN/ZRLR64.FOR (3) Rebuild tasks: COMLNK $APGNOT/FITTP $APGNOT/VLBIN $YPGVDEV/TVMON Documentor: Pat Murphy (Bug found by JingPing Ge at Brandeis).
