REVISIONS:

This patch enables support for the new GMOS North e2v Deep Depletion CCDs. The
gmos package has undergone many changes to ensure compatibility with 6-amp data
from the new CCDs, including improved gain values and the addition of new BPMs,
while maintaining complete backward compatibility with all data taken using the
old GMOS CCDs. Please note that for the new CCDs, only data taken in slow read,
low gain mode is supported. For other modes, please contact the GMOS team. Full
support for the other modes will be included in a future release.

In addition, this patch includes a number of minor bug fixes recently found in
the GEMTOOLS, GMOS, GNIRS and NIRI packages. The most notable fixes are
included below:

  - Improved variance and data quality propagation in gmos.gftransform

  - Addition of variance and data quality propagation gmos.gnsskysub and
    gmos.gnscombine 

  - Improved log message in gmos.gstransform to describe how to proceed when
    using arcs with a different ROI to the science spectrum

  - Upgrades to a number of tasks in the GEMTOOLS and GNIRS packages that allow
    the database parameter to be defined with a trailing slash

  - Corrected gnirs.nsreduce so that nsappwave actually gets called if the data
    had been previously cut

  - Inclusion of an improved BPM for GNIRS North

  - Fixed typos in gmos.gmosexamples, gnirs.gnirsexamples and niri.niriexamples

INSTALLATION:

[1] Unzip the file gemini_v111_patch1.tar.gz

        % gunzip gemini_v111_patch1.tar.gz

[2] Log into IRAF as the IRAF user and unpack the archive file. Change
    directories to the Gemini root directory and use "rtar"

        cl> cd gemini
        cl> softools
        so> rtar -xrf <path>/gemini_v111_patch1.tar

    where <path> is the relative path from the Gemini root directory to the
    downloaded file.

    It is possible to also unpack the file gemini_v111_patch1.tar from UNIX

        % cd /iraf/extern/gemini
        % tar xvf <path>/gemini_v111_patch1.tar

[3] It is recommended that users initialize their uparm directories

        cl> cd uparm$
        cl> delete g*.par
