The Channel Watcher moves the save part of save/restore from the IOC to UNIX. 
Why is this an improvement over save/restore?

Doesn't it add to network traffic?

Don't get me wrong, I have problems with the save/restore process
failing frequently.

I'm just curious about the motivations here in case they may

improve my systems by adding more reliability.
CW V2.0 supports the caGet/caPut file formats, 
Hopefully, CW supports floating point numbers better than does caGet
which, say for a number 1.2e-9, reports that number as 0.000.
No way to tell caGet to use scientific notation instead.  Bummer.
