File: /outgoing/iris_patches/8.05/README805

This is a summary of the IRIS 8.05 patches available on the SIGMET
ftp site.  File last updated 2 August 2004.  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")


============================= 8.05.2 ===============================
product.v2.gz
This fixes a bug in the SLINE product.  IRIS was not correctly tagging
all the protected areas which the shear line went through.

tdwr_llwas_int.v2.gz
This fixes a bug in which the TDWR output product from the integrator
always had the site name of the local IRIS machine.  This bug was
introduced on 16 Sep 2002 in release 7.31.  Since this program is
a stand alone program, this patch can be applied to a wide variety
of IRIS versions, probably all the way back to 7.31.

overlay.v2.gz
This fixes a problem in which overlay crashes on newer versions
of Linux, like RHEL3.  It was trying to use a font which does
not exist.  Since this program is a stand alone utility, this 
patch can be applied to a wide variety of older IRIS versions.

============================= 8.05.3 ===============================
product.v3.gz iris_signal208.cat.v3
This changes the SRI product to run even if there is no T 
(Total power) data recorded.  It will skip the "lowest-clutter-
free-bin" algorithm in this case.  It will also signal a warning.
If you plan to run this way, you can supress the warning.  This
patch includes the SLINE change mentioned above.  You need to
install the iris_signal208.cat file in the $IRIS_NLS directory,
normally /usr/sigmet/bin/nls/C.

============================= 8.05.4 ===============================
product.v4.gz 
Fixes bugs in cartesian product generation for some of the
new projections.  Unnamed Gauss and Gnomonic projections failed
to run.  Named Gnomonic and Perspective projections were forcing
the reference latitude to the equator.  This was serious for
Gnomonic, but not so serious for Perspective since geosynchronous
satellites are over the equator usually.  This patch includes the
above 2 patches also.  You need to install the iris_signal208.cat.v3 
mentioned above.

============================= 8.05.5 ===============================
iris.v5.gz
SGI platforms only:  The CAPPI product configuration menu was crashing
when the data:display button was pressed.

============================= 8.05.10 ===============================
change_raw.v10.gz
Added a new command line option: -shipvel
This means to apply the ship motion velocity correction.  This can
be used to repair RAW products made in IRIS versions which had
this feature broken.

sigbru.v10.gz
There was a problem in sigbru with Make Inventory hanging if a lot of 
files were in the tared file.
Initially we were writing each file in the inventory to the sigbru
status window.  This was causing the inventory to take a long time,
and also at times would hang sigbru.  Here's what we do now.
 -  If doing a Make Inventory, then every second put a . in the sigbru
    status window.
 -  If doing a Backup or Restore only put the directory in the sigbru
    status window if the directory has changed
