Here is a compiled list of changes that I made to EPICS to get R3.13.b11
to work under Linux.  Most of the changes were for configuration files
and SDDS.

Build was performed using Redhat Linux V4.1 and Redhat Motif 2.0.1

Not all of these have been tested since I am unsure what all of them
do!!


Many compile time warnings occur (especially complaints about the
redefinition 
of PI when rebuilding SDDS extensions conflicting definitions in
constants.h 
and /usr/include/math.h)
