Robert,

The NWS has been mucking with the format of the ASUS1 bulletins :-(

I left out a step in the information on how to build with the new version
of makefile and mccomp.sh.  Please see below.

The problem here is that a new version of mccomp is needed; this is
created from the new version of mccomp.sh that was in the update.  I
took the liberty of logging onto your system and doing the following:

  /export/home/mcidas% cd mcidas7.4/src
  /export/home/mcidas/mcidas7.4/src% dir mccomp
      402678 -rwxr-xr-x   2 staff      27585 Nov  9 20:07 mccomp

This shows that mccomp is still the old version.

  /export/home/mcidas/mcidas7.4/src% make mccomp
  rm -f mccomp; cp mccomp.sh mccomp; chmod 755 mccomp
  /export/home/mcidas/mcidas7.4/src% dir mccomp*
      403877 -rwxr-xr-x   1 staff      28482 Feb  4 01:55 mccomp
      402557 -rw-r--r--   1 staff      28482 Jan 29 22:45 mccomp.sh
  /export/home/mcidas/mcidas7.4/src% make front.k
  link    front.k:                done
  /export/home/mcidas/mcidas7.4/src% make frntdisp.k
  compile frntdisp.pgm:           done
  link    frntdisp.k:             done

I will update the README in the unix/740/bugfix directory to reflect the
need to remake mccomp.

Thanks for catching this oversight.
