User's Manual Update:
The user's manual has been greatly updated, thanks in large
part to the University of Calgary. The members of the CREWES
project at U Calgary kindly invited me to give a short course on SU,
in February, which encouraged me to expand and update the manual.
There is also a Japanese language version of the New SU Users Manual
avalable at: http://tansa1.kumst.kyoto-u.ac.jp/suj/

================================================================
The Seismic Unix Project depends heavily on contributed code
extensions and bug fixes from the SU users community.
Please note, if you contributed new code, or changes and don't
see it on this list, it will likely be in the next release.
================================================================
================================================================
Resolved issues:
================================================================
The issue of SU graphics supporting color depth greater than 8 bit
has been solved by Baoniu Han of CWP, for ximage, suximage, xmovie,
and suxmovie.
SU on Dec Alpha under Digital Unix may be ok now. I need people
to try out the current version and get back to me.
