   Mn_Fit version 3.02/11 is hereby released. This version includes an X Windows
interface. The DI3000 interface is running at Fermilab. The Decstation version
has been improved and been tested with X Windows. It can also run with DGKS3D
and XGKS (from Cornell). I would hope to drop the XGKS interface in the near
future as it apparently has bugs and is not officially supported anywhere.
There is some work going on to get Mn_Fit working on Sun workstations and
interest has also been expressed in IBM RISC processors. I have added a new
flag UNIX for all Unix machines and the flags APOLLO and DECS are reserved
for Apollo or Decstation specific code.

   The current Unix version creates links in the users home directory. In the
next version I intend to replace these with environment variables.

   There have been quite a few bug fixes, particularly for Ntuples. Note that
projecting onto expressions had an error in the limts calculation for early
3.02 versions and projecting onto a binned histogram could also give
unpredictable errors, if a value was too far outside the limits.

   You should have HIGZ version 1.12 or greater for the X Windows of Mn_Fit and
preferably 1.13. I had to add a C routine to set environment variables.
For the compilation of this to work properly you need CMZ version 1.37/08.
Otherwise you have to compile it yourself - $MN_FIT/lib/mn_util_cc.c.
The same applies to the TYPSCN routine typscn_cc.c for Decstations.

   The default setup for each experiment is now in the deck
//mn_util/cdes/expnam. The default graphics package is in
//mn_util/cdes/grafpack. The CERN libraries are in //mn_util/cdes/cernlib
and //mn_util/cdes/graflib. You may have to make changes to these for
your institution.

   Again if you have to modify any of the decks please let me know and I will
try to include the changes in my cmz files.

                                 Regards
                                   Ian
