RE: mosub record and R3.14

[Kevin Tsubota <ktsubota@keck.hawaii.edu>]

Thanks Andy.
John has sent me a copy of his genSub record.
I hadn't realized that mosubs were replaced by genSubs.
We're using both record types here so it's no problem 
converting mosubs to genSubs.

Mahalo!
Kevin

Aloha Kevin,

John's message sums it up nicely.

The "mosub" was an early attempt at creating a record
which had multiple outputs. I replaced this with
the "genSub" which has all the functionality of the
"mosub" plus more.

I would suggest you replace your "mosub's" with "genSub's".

Let me know if you would like a copy of the 3.14 "genSub"
record.

Cheers,

Andy
