I have modified almost all of the man pages for Galatea for the next
Athena release.  Unfortunately, I am not able to do the final edits
because of a network hangup from this coast.  The changes that need to
be made pertain to a couple changes in 'gctl'.  I believe these
changes are not substantive, but should be made before a final
release.

In addition, I can not "clean" and configure the galateadev locker at
this time.  This will be my first priority on Monday morning.  I do
not know exactly what software you require for the Athena release, but
am guessing that the server, clients, libraries, and man pages are
what are needed.  They reside, respectively, in:
/mit/galateadev/server
/mit/galateadev/clients
/mit/galateadev/Glib
/mit/galateadev/GlibExt    /* This lib is probably not important now,
                              but is a place holder. */
/mit/galateadev/man


The API doc has not been updated yet, but I don't imagine that it is
part of the release.

Please note that the actual code for this software has been available
and been used by several non-Athena groups for a while, and I haven't
heard any complaints yet.  I would appreciate hearing of any problems.

(Michael, I believe you ran the wrong version of gctl: the code
 definitely creates a "Reset" button, not a "Load" button.)

Any configuration files used in previously Athena releases should be
still applicable.  I recall no changes made to the configuration file
reading code.

Dan.
