You also have to modify the c code for 3.13, ya know.  I just did this
for the generic GPIB record, and I have a new version of the motor
record for 3.13.  If you can wait a week, I'll have a tar file with
these records (and all the rest of the stuff we use on x-ray beamlines)
up on the Web (http://www.aps.anl.gov/xfd/WWW/xfd/SoftDist/#Custom_EPICS).
Otherwise, email me privately and I'll send source.
