MIDAS updated per instructions of VFEP (I append the new and old versions of startup.tcl and aidacommon)

I have generated the AIDA update for V8 as 2 tarballs.

These are accessed using    http://npg.dl.ac.uk/MIDAS/MIDAS_Release/

The files you want are the 3th and 4th

http://npg.dl.ac.uk/MIDAS/MIDAS_Release/AIDAExecV8_Update240416.tgz
http://npg.dl.ac.uk/MIDAS/MIDAS_Release/AIDA_Update240416.tgz

The AIDAExecV8...    is just the data acq program
and AIDA_Update...     is all the  Html/tcl  updates

for information here are the commands I Used to create

tar -zcf  AIDA_Update240416.tgz TclHttpd/Html/AIDA TclHttpd/Html/DataAcquisitionControl TclHttpd/Html/Spectrum
TclHttpd/Html/RunControl TclHttpd/Html/MERGE TclHttpd/tcl/Common SOAP/tcl/SpectrumClient.tcl
tar -zcf  AIDAExecV8_Update240416.tgz Data_Acq/bin/linux-ppc_4xx/AidaExecV8


 JUst click on the name and  select   Save  


 to install

first move existing files which you will replace out of the way

cd /MIDAS
mv TclHttpd/Html/AIDA TclHttpd/Html/AIDA_BAK
mv TclHttpd/Html/DataAcquisitionControl TclHttpd/Html/DataAcquisitionControl_BAK
mv TclHttpd/Html/Spectrum TclHttpd/Html/Spectrum_BAK
mv TclHttpd/Html/RunControl  TclHttpd/Html/RunControl_BAK
mv TclHttpd/Html/MERGE TclHttpd/Html/MERGE_BAK
mv TclHttpd/tcl/Common TclHttpd/tcl/Common_BAK
mv SOAP/tcl/SpectrumClient.tcl SOAP/tcl/SpectrumClient.tcl_BAK


now install the updates
the    *********   is where you saved the tarballs to  
  possibly    ~/Downloads/



cd /MIDAS
tar -zxf *********AIDA_Update240416.tgz
tar -zxf *********AIDAExecV8_Update240416.tgz


 THis will install the updates.


I attach the  startup.tcl  file used for the TclHttpd  (/MIDAS/config/TclHttpd/aidas1/)
 The important bit is adding    set DataTransferStreams 2


and the file  (aidacommon) used for starting the data acq programs   (/MIDAS/linux-ppc_4xx/startup)
  Change V7  to V8
