CERNLIB RELEASE 96A - CHANGE OF CODE MANAGEMENT UTILITIES
=========================================================

As has been discussed in a number of articles in the CERN
computer newsletter over the last two years, we have switched
to new code management and installation tools for the 96A
release of the CERN Program Library.

This means that the CERNLIB source files are NO LONGER AVAILABLE
in PATCHY or CMZ format (except in the OLD area.)

If you habitually use these files, e.g. to pick up "sequences",
we would recommend that you move to using "#include files", as
processed by the C pre-processor. Examples of how to do this
will appear shortly on the CERNLIB web pages, accessible via

http://wwwcn.cern.ch/pl/index.html

To ease the migration process, we will place copies of those
"car" files that are needed in the /cern/pro/src/car area,
containing only the sequence definitions.

If you need one or more of these files, please send a mail
to

cernlib@cern.ch

stating which files you require.

We will in any case make the GEANT and ZEBRA sequences available.
