Two amazing messages in quick sucession:

--- Steve Isard: Getting updates from git repository

--- Waldek Hebisch: New poplog_base7.tar.bz2

I've been busy with tasks unrelated to poplog (e.g. getting my HP printer
to work on new linux machine, ....).

But in the poplog download directory

        http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/poplog/V16/DL

used by the getpoplog.sh script, I have now changed

        latest_poplog_base.tar.bz2

to be a link to

        poplog_base7.tar.bz2

The old version is still there:

        poplog_base6.tar.bz2

So the getpoplog.sh script now gets the new version, which presumably makes
Steve's github advice unnecessary at the moment, but can be used to fetch
and install later updates direct from github.

        So now popvision and neural seem to work

If I remember correctly, linux blas and lapack libraries (64 bit) will need
to be installed to for popvision to work, and and possibly also for neural.

File locations, for anyone feeling adventurous after downloading:

        $usepop/pop/packages/popvision
        $usepop/pop/packages/neural

Both have important documentation files, including:

        README
        README-64-bit.txt

(with comments by Waldek and Steve Leach, which may or may not be out of
date!)

If anyone tries the new versions please report results, especially any
problems and how you overcame them!
