Hi everyone:

1. Contributions to the Users' Manuals need to get to me this week. If you
have not yet worked on cleaning up sections related to your contributions,
please do so now. "Cleanup" includes proofreading for errors, but also
includes revsing sections to make them clearer, adding in examples where they
are missing, making sure that new functionality is properly described, and
so on.

2. Bug fixes and code cleanup are needed as soon as possible. Please visit
and update the bug database at http://bugzilla.ambermd.org. (In the initial
"restricted area" pop-up, user name is amber, password is amberbugs.)

    Significant things that need attention:

    a. ptraj fails in a number of places
             http://bugzilla.ambermd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25

    b. targetted MD has been failing forever:
             http://bugzilla.ambermd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13

    c. The ti_decomp material is failing in rgroup():
             http://bugzilla.ambermd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28

    d. Divcon tests are failing on many platforms. Some of this is just
        different output formatting, some may be roundoff error. Kennie
        reports that there are bug-fixes that have not been applied in
        CVS :-(.
             
Other points are listed on the bugzilla page. We are now having users testing
with Pathscale and Portland compilers, as well as on non-sgi ia64 machines.
This all leads to the usual mix of (mostly minor) incompatibilities.

We need a final "push" to make all this happen: please do what you can.

...thanks...dac
