On Monday morning, December 4, 2000, the default programming
environment will be upgraded on all of the Cray computers
at NERSC.
These new versions are already installed, but not as defaults.
If you would like to try them on any machine, load the module
PrgEnv.new. After the upgrade, the current defaults will be
kept as part of the PrgEnv.old module until the next upgrade.
