In preparation for upgrading to the new version of cvs, I plan to
install upgraded versions of our application management scripts on
Wednesday. The changes in these scripts are described in the attachment.
These changes mostly affect new applications and I think, we have
already made most of the relevant changes to existing applications. The
cvs commands will still work with the current version of cvs. I will add
the cvs changes at a later time.

These new features have been added to the application scripts
(mkNewapp, applNewver, etc.):
* The startup scripts created by mkNewdev and mkNewapp now use the
appO pointer for the path to the .o file rather than the explicit
architecture type.
* mkNewdev creates only one startup script, startup.app rather than
the three it creates now (startup.app.mv162, startup.app.mv167,
startup.app.mv177).
* It is now possible to send a list of iocs to mkNewapp and it will
generate startup scripts for all iocs in the list, the default if no
ioc is specified is still ioct1. This option is available only
through the command line for now, I will add it to the GUI tool
later.
* It is now possible to turn on cvs debug messages by sending a -t
parameter to any of the scripts (command line option only).
* Alicia has cleaned up the scripts so it is possible to add a new
server simply by adding the server name to a file called
opprod_dir_list. Previously, all the scripts had to be edited in numerous
places to add a new server.
