Bill,

CaWingz has never been built with Linux.

Concerning the unix command 'caGet' which accept a list of channels from 
file has been renamed to 'caGet1'. It is stored under epics/extensions/src/ca
directory.  It will build with Solaris/Linux/WIn system.
If you need to access the source please let me know.

For your user case, you can make a system link to caGet1 for caGet, or 
rename the caGet1 to caGet , this way user's program will still work on 
Linux.
