     (1) I like to thank all who send in pointers to my queries on
         GPR BLTs.  Your replies have been very helpful.

     (2) I have discovered a few typos in /sys/ins/gpr.ins.c and
         /sys/ins/mts.ins.c.  I am using SR9.7.
         In /sys/ins/gpr.ins.c, gpr_$inq_background() and
         gpr_$inq_foreground() should be declared to return
         gpr_$pixel_value_t instead of being procedures.

         They are some typos in the comments.  It seems that
         someone had used a global substitution mechanism to
         replace "int" with "short".  So "intensity" becomes
         "shortensity".

         In /sys/ins/mts.ins.c, mts_$first_a and mts_$last_a have
         been #define-d as

#define mts_$first_a mts_$unit_a;   /* comments */
#define mts_$last_a mts_$buffer_offset_a;   /* comments */

        For those who can't find the bugs, note that the semicolon
        is like the proverbial mouse who entered an elephant's ear.

        I wander how many more typos I'll find.

    (3) Where can I send a program to be included on the Adus tapes?
        I prefer an email address.  Thanks.

fclim.  :-)
