File: /outgoing/iris_patches/8.06/README806

This is a summary of the IRIS 8.06 patches available on the SIGMET
ftp site.  File last updated 14 June 2005.  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")


============================= 8.06.11 ===============================
UfToIris.v11.gz
Place this file in the /usr/sigmet/config_template/pipes directory,
and place a symbolic link to it from the /usr/sigmet/config/pipes
directory.  This fixes a bug in the start range.  Data was converted
to IRIS such that the start range was 1000 times to low.  That means
that a 1 km start range was labelled as 1 meter.  Since this is a
stand alone utility program, this can be installed on any recent
version of IRIS.

============================= 8.06.12 ===============================
server.v12.gz
siris.v12.gz
watchdog.v12.gz
This repairs a bug introduced in release 8.06 with the ASCII setup
file for the POM output options.  In some cases IRIS would omit
one or more output devices from the saved file.

============================= 8.06.13 ===============================
product.v13.gz
This repairs a longstanding bug in the COMP product.  It was 
incorrectly compositing inputs if they were not square AED 
projections.  The errors were vertical position offsets.
