    MODIFICATIONS/BUG FIXES TO EXISTING MODULES:

    hyp71_mgr
    Corrected several arc output message bugs.
    Phase calculated residuals were often wrongly reported.
    If a station was missing in hyp71_mgr configuration, this would lead to a complete mix in arc message output.
    In some cases, the reported result was not the calculated one.
    Corrected hyp2000arc to Hypo71 card phase conversion when second was lower than 10
    Corrected hyp2000arc to Hypo71 card phase conversion when first arrival was an S-phase

    ewthresh
    Modified WaitBeforeNextThresh command to take optional second argument SameNetSta;
    if present, looks at all of Net/Sta to decide if enough time has passed for a new message.
    Also added WaitBeforeMessages command: how long to wait after startup before generating messages.

    waveman2disk
    Fixed an annoying bug that caused the wfdisc putaway to blow up with large files.
    Paul Friberg April 5, 2016

    nll_mgr
    Corrected bug that caused Hyp2000arcCompatibilityMode to mix events.
    Corrected bug in read_arc library that caused segfaults when using write_phs.
    Jean-Marie Saurel    February 23, 2016

    ewthresh
    Added TLS capability (added by Elmar Rothert of Qcon), fixed so that EW_THRESH_ALERT messages have module ID of ewthresh module,
    and allowed Debug level 1 to show messages to logfile.
    Paul Friberg October 16, 2015
