    Those of you not in Berkeley: you will need to download
    deeplib-0.5.5.tgz from the deeplib archive page.

    I've installed the new version on the NON-ENTERPRISE machines in
    Berkeley. You will have to wait for Alex Conley to get it running on
    ajanta and topdog. Don't run it there until he installs it there.

    There are a few new key features to searchscan, all accessible from the
    main menu. The "How to Scan" web page has had instructions updated.

    CANDIDATES SHOWN -- pre-existing canndidates (*if* the proper
    transformation exists in the database) are boxed in YELLOW. Candidates
    which you have added by hand are boxed in PURPLE.

    MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON -- the middle mouse button now does things. What it
    does is configured by the "Middle Mouse Button..." menu.

     * NUMBER GRID -- middle click anywhere on the image to get a 7x7 grid
       of the flux values around the pixel you clicked on. (Zooming in is
       helpful here!)

     * ADD HAND CANDIDATE -- add a new hand-added candidate at the position
       where you clicked.

     * SCORE DUMP -- show the scores of the nearest candidate to where you
       clicked (if you clicked close enough to one). Doesn't work for
       pre-existing or hand-added candidates.

    TILES -- what you see in tiles is controlled by the setting of the
    "Tiles Of..." menu in the main searchscan window. By default, you see
    the candidates which were found and which passed the cuts. If you
    change this to "Pre-Existing", you will see the pre-existing
    candidates. If you change this to "Hand Selected", you will see the
    purple candidates you added by hand. This will apply during your entire
    tiles session. To see a different list, exit tiles, change the menu in
    the main searchscan window, and go back into tiles.

    NEW SUBTRACTIONS -- there will be new subtractions to scan by tomorrow
    morning. THEY ALL NEED TO GET SCANNED. Yes, it's a lot of redundant
    work. However, we should (hopefully) pick up many (all?) of the Adam
    candidates we missed before.
