CATS: does it recognize the SOPAC NEU ascii format time series?

The format of data files given in CATS examples is different from that of SOPAC products. The latter has 2 superfluous columns: 2nd-year, and 3rd-doy. I have convert the SOPAC format to CATS format to make it work.

Question: what's the meaning of CATS output?

One log file looks like:

The fan of my nx6300 laptop so loud.

My darling suggested to me that I should take it to have a check at the HP service station. But I didn't have time to go. At the same time, I cannot work without it. I felt that there maybe something wrong with the fanning system which caused by dust. I really need have it checked someday when I have time or cannot stand the noise anymore.

Bread fire in the microwave oven.

It scared me much that the bread got fire in the microwave oven. I put the bread with its package into the oven, and didn't loose the metal band which is used to bundle the bag and proved to be the source of the fire.

Different behavior of idate() in RHEL5 and Solaris 10.

The fortran function idate() return different array in RHEL5 and Solaris.
For JAN-04-2008, in RHEL5, it returns:
4 1 8
In Solaris 10 X86, it returns:
4 1 2008

So, problems may arise if you do not pad zeros ahead the number. To get to no-blank filename, you should use "I2.2,I2.2,I4.4" to get a formatted date string.
