    Hello,
    A very painful search yielded a trivial fix to the print dialog in the
    monitoring software.  It was as I suspected (and I think I posted that
    it smelled like it) yet another result of not linking with libNew.  I
    think we were spoiled with all of the stuff that libNew did for us, ie
    initializing things to zero (like VMS does by default when allocating
    new memory)
    
    So the print dialog program is updated and in the repository.  I also
    updated the print dialog in the operator directory so that people could
    immediately begin to print out the spectra when the collisions start
    coming in earnest at any time.  I did a before and after test of
    printing in the operator account.  Before it crashed on me.  I updated
    the print dialog and then it did not crash after many tries.
    
    This problem has always been intermittent which is what made it
    especially hard to trace, so I can't guarantee that it is all the way
    fixed.  But the frequency of crashing has been decreased dramatically.
    
    Enjoy.  I hope this dialog working will enable the operators to print
    results of many collisions.
    
    Kris
