There was a problem with running some local models (sking in particular),
where it didn't think there was a normalization parameter even though
it was an additive model.  I re-installed the local models, using
the instructions in the XANADU Installation Guide (Sec. 5.2.1), and
this appeared to fix the problem.

Subject: Xanadu 8.50 to become default
Date: Tue, 03 Jan 95 12:18:41 EST

Although Xanadu v.8.50 has been installed for quite some time, I just
noticed that the default version is still v.8.41 (as defined by
the soft link /soft/xan/xanadu -> /soft/xan/xanadu-8.41/).

So, on Thursday I'm changing /soft/xan/xanadu to point to v.8.50.
We also still have version 8.34 installed.  The value of the
XANADU environment variable, defined in your ~/.cshrc, controls 
which version is run.  Your options are:

setenv XANADU /soft/xan/xanadu   #  latest installed version
setenv XANADU /soft/xan/xanadu-8.34  #  use 8.34
setenv XANADU /soft/xan/xanadu-8.41  #  use 8.41
setenv XANADU /soft/xan/xanadu-8.50  #  use 8.50

The changes are described in /soft/xan/RELEASE.NOTES.8.50.
One possibly important change is that fakeit now writes a FITS file.
