Kate,

Note that there are several generations of this driver.

1)  ftp://ftp.cebaf.gov/pub/epics/camac/ks2917/
    Is an older CEBAF version

2)  ftp://ftp.cebaf.gov/pub/epics/camac/lanl_camac/camac/drv/
    Is the newer Los Alamos/University of Chicago version

3)  ftp://cars1.uchicago.edu/pub/epics/camacApp.tar
    Is also the newer Los Alamos/University of Chicago version

I could not find the CAMAC stuff on the LANL site, but perhaps I am just not
looking in the right place.

I have just compared compared ksc2917.h from 2) and 3), and 3) contains a bug
fix which you should get. (Los Alamos should get this too)

It looks like camacLib.c from 2) is more recent than the one from 3) and you
should use it.

It would be nice if these files could be put in EPICS base to replace the very
old CAMAC library there, which I doubt if anyone is using?
