Yes, if you run R3.13.2.  When you install Tornado 1.0.1 make sure you do
*not* have the SENS TCP/IP stack included - this has a separate
installation key in the Tornado installer although it's not made obvious
so most people include it.  If you have problems building parts of Channel
Access ('m_type' is generally mentioned) then you included SENS and you'll
have to re-do the installation to remove it.

If you only have Tornado 2.0 you get no choice about using SENS.  There is
a workaround, although there may still be questions about reliability (can
anyone else confirm or deny the existence of any problems?) - ask Janet
Anderson <[email protected]> for the changes necessary.
