Before this fix, any blank lines on windows would cause the program to exit with a bogus message. Thanks to
Steve Shuff for reporting this one!
April 26, 2015 Paul Friberg

mega-module (eqproc, eqbuf, eqcoda, eqverify, eqprelim, eqassemble, eqverify_assemble, geqproc)
Improved via-pipe I/O and handling of stopped modules (especially under Windows); fixed 'eqbuf.c' bug
that could cause program crash if 'eqproc.c' stopped.

were being used and this caused problems: tport_getmsg() to flush, and tport_copyfrom() to get messages.
Paul Friberg May 27, 2014

Fixed issue with text for "Startstop's Bin Dir" item shown on 'status' display.

March 10, 2015  Eric Thomas

ew2rsam

startstop_service
Added 'StartstopPipeConsole'.
Fixed issue with lock-file being named ".lock" instead of "startstop_nt.d.lock" (Trac #429).
Modified to enter information for "Startstop's Params Dir" and "Startstop's Bin Dir" items
shown on 'status' display (Trac #76).
March 5, 2015  Eric Thomas

logging; added 'FlushLatency' and 'Int32Encoding' configuration parameters.
February 26, 2015  Eric Thomas

pick_ew
Made it so that if DeadSta parameter is set to 0.0 or less, then the check is completely ignored. 
This was causing grief for some digitizers that had a high average count value (not close to zero).
February 17, 2015 Paul Friberg

trig2disk
Added UW2 format for output for US Bureau of Reclamation (Chris Woods code) for Linux/Mac OS X only.
January 20, 2015 Paul Friberg

ewhtmlemail
Can now handle Mw and also not use or display Md magnitudes.
August 13, 2014 Paul Friberg
Not showing Md values subsequently fixed on Jan 22, 2015 - it broke when we put in No Coda detection versus 0.0 

ewhtmlreport
Added ML uncertainty to CSV file
August 27, 2014 Paul Friberg

trig2disk
Modified the postproc command (to run a script after waveforms are written to disk) to handle Windoze
Paul Friberg Sept 11, 2014

src/util/nordic.c
Fixed a string for date parsing that was too small. Caused blow up on Mac OS X Mavericks
Paul Friberg Sept 5, 2014

to the pipe inside the polling loop (heartbeats too). New version is 0.1.5 
Paul Friberg July 10, 2014 (with discussion from Lynn Dietz)

ALso version numbers echoed on command line now, and updated - Paul Friberg
Larry Baker May 12, 2014

Fixed many memory checks. Improved robustness, no change in behavior or performance of module. AVO initiated this.
Thanks to Larry Baker for suggestions and Tom Parker for testing.
Paul Friberg Feb 24, 2014

startstop (UNIX/Solaris)
New version now allows use of @filename in the startstop_unix.d to redirect to other files for lookup info.
NOT available in Windows version, yet.
Paul Friberg Feb 26, 2014

seisan_report
This would segfault and crash when too many phases were converted. There was no 
check on the MAX_NOR_PHASES when adding phases; there is now. I also increased
the MAX_NOR_PHASES to 1000 and cleaned up a couple of compile time warnings.
New Version: seisan_report 0.0.8 2014.01.11
Paul Friberg Jan 11, 2014
Modfied again on Feb 26, 2014 to compensate for incorrect IAML amplitudes in S files
from localmag, put in a 100 * multiplier

binder_ew
Instead of unlinking phases, now mark them as dup, but do not use in location. 
This only applies for stations where multiple channels could be picked for S or P.
1.0.19 2013.09.24
Paul Friberg September 24, 2013
Modified again on Feb 26, 2014 to fix a problem with logging of stack_horizontals feature

Added ability to recognize S phases! and added a version number.
Version 0.0.2 is the starting of this new incarnation.
Paul Friberg Oct 7, 2013

Paul Friberg Sept 23, 2013

ewringserver
Bug fix for non-native data types:
Chad Trabant Sept 21, 2013

ew_rsamalarm
The logit initialization didn't took into account the MaxMsgSize value
from the config file.
It was hardcoded to 512, leading to error and reboots of the module.
Jean-Marie Saurel Jan 10, 2014

statmgr
Check timeouts between .d and .desc, see trac #484
