Josh,

Sounds good.  I think a good portion of what was supposed to be 'cleaned
up' has been done.  If it's not too much trouble, my suggestion on the
distribution of these reports would be upon request/demand.  Meaning, if
you guys have things you'd like to see done, feel free to send one.
Otherwise, I would be happy requesting a copy when needed on our side.
This document is most useful before and after each new SDRS release so
that would be a good fallback schedule.

On another note, it appears that we have had many different people
working on psTrace throughout, but apparently Robert Lupton was the
original author.  The way that the function (psTrace) currently operates
seems somewhat different than the SDRS.  That is, there is essentially
an additional argument for ""formatting"" the output.  The SDRS has the
function prototype listed as-
void psTrace(const char *facil, int level, const char *format, ...);
Currently, it seems to function more like,
void psTrace(const char *facil, int level, const char *indent, const
char *format, ...);
Where indent is usually "" "" and is multiplied by the level.  i.e., if
indent=1 space and the level=3, the output is indented 3 spaces.  Or for
indent=2, level=3, 6 spaces, and so on...
Consequently, I wanted to see whether the indenting is something that
should be removed or is a desired component of this function.  We're
kind of assuming that the current state is incorrect.  Please advise.
