+release contains further additions, changes, and bugfixes for the
+SGI-ICE system, as well as important changes like the splitting of the
+user-interface into single files, a complete revision of the
+pre-compiling mechanism allowing to use different make-depositories
+simultaneously, and a revision of the reading-mechanism from restart
+files, which has no more restrictions in case that the previous and
+current run have different domain/subdomain sizes. A new handling of
+all kind of output messages is introduced with this release and will be
+applied to all existing messages within the next releases.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">New features are:</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br>Restart runs on SGI-ICE are working.

+One depository per block (given in the config-file) is created. Always
+all files from the source directory are copied to the respective
+depository. No additional file checks are done any more (mrun version
