Problems/bugs AVS Interface software suite

1) Because of an compiler error at the CM-5, the
   startup file (.avs) for remote AVS is sometimes wrong.
   April 14 1994
   see pcdemo_cm5.cs.bug

2) The examples and corresponding makefile only work
   in the install directory avsi. I have tried to make the
   examples directory independent, but I did not succeed because
   of several differences between UNIX systems.
   ~ or $(HOME) is treated differently. e.g. Convex does not 
   expand $(HOME)

3) See make.HP for error in setting for f77_binding

4) The implementation of the client-server mode toke me an
   awful lot of time. I only succeeded for SGI, which is far from
   perfect because of synchronization problems. To find
   memory.o and str_utils.o was not easy. 

5) AVSI with the Network Editor can not be used at the
   HP platforms ciwi*.math.rug.nl, because of a special
   implementation of the avs command.
The next messages appear:
Invalid option: -play
Type '/usr/avs/bin/avs -usage' for valid options.

6) Call AVSI_1D_scalar_real_uniform('*','error',10,q)
   with q not defined results at SGI in y-values in range 0..64.

7) The remote file directory '~' is changed to '.' in AVSI.
   I forgot the reason why , or was it purely experimental ?
