the following problems.

1. Failure to dump the core after a system crash.

different geometry from that reported by earlier versions of 'cpqary2'.

and greater.

WARNING

Because  of this incompatibility,  upgrading  to 'cpqary2' v1.30  should
not be attempted. Data loss may occur with an upgrade. It is recommended
that the user back up all the  data and re-install the system  using the
new version v1.30 of 'cpqary2'.
