REV NO: REV 507.003
DATE: November 17, 1997 Discovered By: Roger Burger
Description Of Problem

The &describe system command does not work quite right. It leaves the part GROUND inactive and some of the bodies defined may be left inactive.

REV NO: REV 507.008
DATE: November 21, 1997 Discovered By: B. Thompson
Description Of Problem

The KG_ALLOW macro needs to check two more conditions. A change was made in the source code, so that the new version of the macro requires this revision of the software to operate properly.

Buoyancy from a #AREA is not included in the Category Summary.

REV NO: REV 507.010
DATE: December 02, 1997 Discovered By: Guillaume Le Marechal
Description Of Problem

Description Of Problem

LINK connectors will not report in the STRPOST Menu.

REV NO: REV 507.012
DATE: December 04, 1997 Discovered By: Barbara Thompson
Description Of Problem

The KG_ALLOW macro has some problems when one checks cases "that should not be checked". In particular, cases where the is only one intercept are not properly treated.

The fix here is to the macro, not MOSES itself.

REV NO: REV 507.017
DATE: December 20, 1997 Discovered By: James Hudgins
Description Of Problem

Some sets of data will cause a Windows Machine to "hang" when doing st_fcargo. The hang occurs due to a compiler bug when computing x**b for large b and small x.

REV NO: REV 507.018
DATE: December 29, 1997 Discovered By: James Hudgins
Description Of Problem

This is a repeat of fix 507.017. Some data causes a PC to "hang". This is again a compiler bug which has to do with underflows and how this exception is handled. This is actually two fixes: the change for rc fixed one beam, but another beam caused a "hang". The fixes in computing temp fixed this.

These are particularly nasty. On both Window 95 and Windows NT, when MOSES reaches the offending line, nothing further will ever happen. On NT, one can recover by "breaking" the job. On Windows 95, a reboot is required.

REV NO: REV 507.019
