[SAC-HELP] SAC version 10.1

[Arthur Snoke]

I traced down communications regarding versions of sac, etc.  Here is a
summary.

As Brian Savage noted, the proposed version 100.1 was not posted to IRIS 
on June 1, in spite of what the History file says.  That version was sent 
to IRIS by Peter Goldstein on August 4.  The delay was caused by some 
problems related to the additions made to 100.0 not working on all 
platforms, and it was not until late July that we felt comfortable with 
sending it up.

Another problem is that IRIS changed listserv providers (from majordomo to 
mailman) at the end of July, which affected communication.

Here is an excerpt from a message I sent to the advisory committee on 
August 6 that touches on some of the issues we had been dealing with.


<<The version 100.1 beta (both source and binaries) available from IRIS is 
as of July 26.  It has several bug fixes, which can be seen in the 
sac/CHANGES file.  We are finding some portability problems for binary 
distributions between Mac 10.3.9 and 10.4.  Binaries built using 10.3.9 
will work on 10.4.2, but not vice versa.  We are trying to build sac on 
Solaris 10, and have not succeeded yet.
