A new set of major updates has been posted to net.sources under the subject: WMS NEWSLETTER #3 (MAJOR UPDATES) These updates affect code performance and should be tended to ASAP. The previous method of polled I/O is replaced by a synchronous interrupt driven scheme (based on select(2)). This results in improved performance due to significantly reduced system loading. Note: These NEWSLETTERs are sequenced so that a consistent baseline may be established for each new version. Thus, if you receive an out-of-sequence NEWSLETTER, then you have missed one or more. In which case you may contact me for such issues. It is assumed that each local site adheres to all released updates. This does not necessarily preclude the use of local modifications. Try to maintain your own local versions in a way which allows global modifications to be incorporated as painlessly as possible. This may require that a local site maintain an up to date version of "stock" (global) releases in addition to whatever local versions may exist.
