   !! CAUTION TO ALL !!

   Those who use the "old" version of Munidos should upgrade the program
as soon as possible!  And those who have submitted any data for publication,
or have already published with old Munidos should check the result with
the new Munidos.  In case one has already erased the original images,
the following note may be useful before completely discarding the data.

   Upon examination with Gianluca Masi, with some information from Rudolf
Novak, the most likely bug of the old version seems to be reside in
the process adding half exposure time to the exposure start to get the
mid-exposure time.  Old Munidos regards exposure times in minites rather
than seconds.  So the most likely corrections to the old data should
be -exp*30+exp/2 seconds (exp = exposure time in second).  However,
the original source code being unavailable, this is an experimental
solution.  When original images are available, please re-analyze all
images, as Rudolf has suggested.  If one finds deviations from the
experimental corrections above, please let us know the phenomenon.

   Please convey this caution to all users and potential users of Munidos.

Taichi Kato
