Subject:[MINOR BUGFIX] reorganisation of linux poplog distribution in progress: testers needed 
From:A . Sloman 
Volume-ID: 

Andreas Eder kindly downloaded and tested the new poplog bundle and
reported that my last-minute efforts to reduce the amount of printout
produced by this script

    $usepop/INSTALL/CHECK_LINUX_FACILITIES

by commenting out some 'echo' commands had broken it.

I had not realised that bash does not tolerate null actions
after 'then'! Pop11 has spoiled me.

Moral: test even the most trivial changes which are 'obviously' OK !

Anyhow the script is fixed in here now:

    http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/bham-linux-poplog-v15.6.tar.gz
        18368071 bytes Jan 17 20:49

and can be downloaded on its own from here if you already had fetched
the tar file:

Thanks Andreas
