(4 October 2005) This may be a SLAC-specific problem, but I am unable to run the science tools and the general FTOOLS utilities from the same shell (under Linux, of course). If I have got .../headas/i686-pc-linux-gnu-libc2.2/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, then the general FTOOLS work but none of the science tools will run; they quit immediately, for example:
$ gtpphase
This is gtpphase version v1r0p2
Caught N5hoops10HexceptionE at the top level: Parameter evfile not found in parameter group gtpphase (at ../src/hoops_group.cxx: 65)
So something is interfering with how the parameter files are processed. This might be solvable in the wrapper scripts, if there isn't a better way to make the science tools and FTOOLS coexist. (Seth Digel)

- Verbosity: The chatter parameter does not seem to have a large effect on most tasks.
- Graphical User interface: At checkout2, a mechanism was introduced for several tasks,
whereby they could be called with the setting gui=Y and conjure up a GUI. This is not documented at all, and does not seem to have moved forward since checkout 2. It is still not supported by most tasks. I have checked gtbin, on which I had declared STGEN-14. The GUI comes up, but nothing happens in my surroundings when I click on Run. The list of parameters is still truncated.
