Although I agree with Steve's and Tim's comments and requests for change in
the CALC record, I have to support Ned in this one.  Having been a veteran
of the GTA project which was done during a time of rapid EPICS development and 
change, I can vouch for the painful and unexpectedly far-reaching effects
of a few "simple" changes.  If you really want these changes right now, the
suggestion of implementing a new "CCALC" record seems like the best bet--maybe
Tim and Steve could collaborate on this one.  And, of course, be sure and let 
everyone know when it's available!
