Code Structure Revision
Three archived CVS branches now exist:•roms-1•roms-2•roms-2-old
Because of the restructuring of the source code into multiple directories, now we have two roms-2 branches to allow comparisons between and old and new versions.
Source Code Browser
• The code browser allows you to navigate through the different algorithm branches and their scopes.
