Re: iocLogServer change?

[Ron MacKenzie <ronm@slac.stanford.edu>]

Hi Carl,

The issue is that CMLOG comes packaged with an older version of ACE
(ACE 4.0).  That version did not support RTEMS.

So, I took some of the obvious approaches to that problem and they proved
difficult.  It looks like the API has changed across the last couple of
major releases of ACE.
