- Introduced simulation mode to simdriv and simcter, i.e they never fail and
finish at once.
- Started defining MAD compatibility commands in Tcl
- Fixed a bug in FOCUS_src which caused it to leak sockets.
- Introduced setsockopt SO_REUSEADDR to all new sockets in sinqhm in order
to loose the next sinqhm error.
- Added transfer of zipped data to conman.c, histogram memory software
in order to support the TRICS status display.
- Upgraded TRICS data file writing.
- First installment of triple axis spectrometer support: initialization of
data structures and an implementation of the MAD dr(ive) command.
required inclusion of a matrix package.
- modified counter error handling to send a Stop when the _BAD_BUSY
error is received.
- added an environment interface to the general controller stuff in choco.*
Also added setting a parameter directly at the controller object.
- Added a driver for the ETH High Temperature Furnace to be used at
SANS.
Tcl commands. Removed the broken obTcl object system and replaced it by
the object.tcl system from sntl. Redid the scan command with this. The
end of this is that SICS is now independent of the tcl version and
works with tcl 8.0 thus giving a factor of up to 10 in script execution
speed.
2.) Added driving an angle through a translation table (object lin2ang)
