File: /outgoing/iris_patches/8.02/README802

This is a summary of the IRIS 8.02 patches available on the SIGMET
ftp site.  File last updated 19 Sept 2003.  The general proceedure
for installing patches is:
 1) Move the file platform/foo.v1.gz to your IRIS_BIN directory.
 2) Rename the file it will replace (e.g. "mv foo foo.v0" )
 3) Uncompress the new file (e.g "gunzip foo.v1.gz")
 4) Make a symbolic link from the original name to the patch.
    (e.g. "ln -s foo.v1 foo"
 5) Set ownership and mode to exactly match the old file.  You can
    see this information with "ls -l foo*".
    (e.g. "chown operator foo.v1", "chgrp users foo.v1", "chmod 775 foo.v1")



============================= 8.02.2 ===============================
irisnet.v2.tar.gz

There is a bug in the current version of irisnet.  The bug is every time 
irisnet receives an update from an individual site, irisnet updates the 
background image and all the site icons even if the site status hasn't changed.
This could be a burden on X if many sites are being updated frequently.
This fix will do an update only if the site status has changed.

Also we have moved the location of where the background images are stored.
Previously irisnet used the directory ${IRIS_OVERLAY} to load the gif 
background image.  Now irisnet uses the directory ${IRIS_IMAGES}
Do the following so irisnet will load the background image from the correct
location:
  1.  Create a directory /usr/sigmet/config/images
  2.  mv /usr/sigmet/config/overlay/some_irisnet_image.gif 
        /usr/sigmet/config/images
  3.  Add the following line in /usr/sigmet/config/profile:
       export IRIS_IMAGES="${IRIS_CONFIG}images/"

      NOTE: Place export IRIS_IMAGES..... after
      export IRIS_DICTIONARY="${IRIS_CONFIG}dict/"

overlay.v2.gz
Fixed a bug in overlay:  If selecting an icon in the Add/Delete Tool 
that was larger than 50x50 pixels, overlay would crash when trying to 
create the cursor icon.
Overlay can now create cursor icons of a max size of 100x100.  If larger
than that then we truncate to 100x100.

I also might have fixed the same problem when creating a font cursor.

makeAsciiSetups.v2.gz
This program is now enhanced to convert IRIS's Product output menu
header files: menu/*.POMHEADER.  This conversion is required if you
upgrade to 8.02.2.  Do not install this on a normal 8.02 system.
