REV NO: REV 507.008

DATE: November 21, 1997

Discovered By: B. Thompson

The KG_ALLOW macro needs to check two more conditions. A change was made in the source code, so that the new version of the macro requires this revision of the software to operate properly.

REV NO: REV 507.009

DATE: November 25, 1997

Discovered By: Woon Jeong

Description Of Problem

Buoyancy from a #AREA is not included in the Category Summary.

REV NO: REV 507.010

DATE: December 02, 1997

Discovered By: Guillaume Le Marechal

Description Of Problem

The wave elevation is computed 1 time step out of phase with the motions in a time synthesis in the frequency domain. This introduces a bit of error in the clearance.

REV NO: REV 507.011

DATE: December 04, 1997

Discovered By: Steven Tang

Description Of Problem

LINK connectors will not report in the STRPOST Menu.

REV NO: REV 507.012

Description Of Problem

The KG_ALLOW macro has some problems when one checks cases "that should not be checked". In particular, cases where the is only one intercept are not properly treated.

The fix here is to the macro, not MOSES itself. To download a fixed macro, Click Here to download the new macro. Save this file in the subdirectory package of the directory where Ultramarine software is installed. Then use the tool maintain to install it.

REV NO: REV 507.017 DATE: December 20, 1997 Discovered By: James Hudgins Description Of Problem

Some sets of data will cause a Windows Machine to "hang" when doing st_fcargo. The hang occurs due to a compiler bug when computing x**b for large b and small x.

REV NO: REV 507.018 DATE: December 29, 1997 Discovered By: James Hudgins Description Of Problem

This is a repeat of fix 507.017. Some data causes a PC to "hang". This is again a compiler bug which has to do with underflows and how this exception is handled. This is acutally two fixes: the change for rc fixed one beam, but another beam caused a "hang". The fixes in computing temp fixed this.

These are particularly nasty. On both Window 95 and Windows NT, when MOSES reaches the offending line, nothing further will ever happen. On NT, one can recover by "breaking" the job. On Windows 95, a reboot is required.
