MCSRED is updated (20130520 --> 20141205) on 2016/Jan/4.
We report some points to be careful of when using the latest and/or old
versions of MCSRED.

- Users who have used MCSRED before 2016/Jan/4
The latest version of MCSRED (20141205) is called by default
after 2016/Jan/4. If you have used the old version of MCSRED (20120515, 20130520),
we recommend that you should unlearn the task mcsred once after you
start IRAF.
 cl> unlearn mcsred

- Users who want to use MCSRED with IRAF version 2.16.1
We recommend that you should use MCSRED with IRAF version 2.14.1,
which is used to develop the software.
You can use it with IRAF version 2.16.1 as well, but may encounter
some issues when you perform some tasks that display the processes
on ds9. The following two workarounds are available for IRAF v2.16.1
users:
 -- Load the tv parckage after the load of the mcsred package
   cl> mcsred
   mcsred> tv
 -- Turn off the display function by using the "disp-" option
We have confirmed that MCSRED does not work with IRAF version 2.16.
We thus recommend to use IRAF version 2.14.1 or 2.16.1 for the usage
of MCSRED.

- Users who want to use the old version of MCSRED (20120515, 20130520)
You can use the old version of MCSRED, though we recommend to use
the latest version that starts by default.
Please follow the two steps in order to use the old version:
 1. Modify the login.cl file in your working directory
  (Before)
   #MCSRED
   task $mcsred = /usr/local/subaru/MCSRED/mcsred.cl
   set dir_mcsred = "/usr/local/subaru/MCSRED/"
  (After, 20120515)
   # MCSRED
   task $mcsred = /usr/local/subaru/MCSRED20120515/mcsred.cl
   set dir_mcsred = "/usr/local/subaru/MCSRED20120515/"
  (After, 20130520)
   # MCSRED
   task $mcsred = /usr/local/subaru/MCSRED20130520/mcsred.cl
   set dir_mcsred = "/usr/local/subaru/MCSRED20130520/"

 2. Modify the configuration file(s) of sh/csh
  (20120515)
  [sh, bash] Add the next line to the end of the two files,
        ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile
   export MCSRED_DIR=/usr/local/subaru/MCSRED20120515
  [csh, tcsh] Add the next line to the end of the ~/.cshrc file
   setenv MCSRED_DIR /usr/local/subaru/MCSRED20120515

  (20130520)
  [sh, bash] Add the next line to the end of the two files,
        ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile
   export MCSRED_DIR=/usr/local/subaru/MCSRED20130520
  [csh, tcsh] Add the next line to the end of the ~/.cshrc file
   setenv MCSRED_DIR /usr/local/subaru/MCSRED20130520
