Rolf: The new macros work for me. No need to apologize, it's the normal start up on editing a big document. Thanks for fixing it so fast and checking in my changes. I already essentially followed your recommendation for deleted text so I won't check in a new version for that. I added the deleted text to removed_sources.tex as you requested in the attached.

My recommendation for really deleted text, i.e., not only moved to another location:

\mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEbegin% MPI-2.1 round-two - deleted-text-anchor Last word of the previous text \mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEendI% MPI-2.1 round-two - end of anchor

% MPI-2.1 round-two - begin of deteted text - Draft Apr.1, 2008 page/line-page/line % the text you delete must be preceded with "% " % deprecated text % ... % deprecated text % MPI-2.1 round-two - end of deteted text

Additionally, you shoud add this outcommented text to the end of removed_source.tex

Best regards Rolf

It might be nice to have some way to flag the deleted text, with the convention, at least for now, of just commenting it out and not to delete it entirely from the file.

Let me know if I am doing things right here and then I will move on to fixing chapter 11: External Interfaces. Thanks,

Bronis

Dear Bill, Tony, Rich, Adam, Dick, Jesper, George, David, Bronis, Rajeev, Jeff, and Alexander,

you are responsible for one ore more chapters of MPI-2.1 until the meeting.

It is a tough schedule: -----------------------

* Tues, April 1, my ROUND ONE is finished and the write token is logically passed to all chapter authors: - You have read access to the source (via SVN) and the pdf. - You have write access to your local SVN copy. - You will get write access to the SVN in a few days. * Fri., April 11, chapter authors have finished ROUND TWO. - This is a hard deadline (because I've to go on travel) * Sat., April 12, I will produce mpi-report.pdf as basis for review (I cannot do later, because April 14-17, I'm on travel) * Mon.-Thu., April 14-17, strong review by the reviewer group * Fri., April 18, reviews - if necessary must be included - by the chapter authors * Sat., April 19, I will produce final mpi-report.pdf which is basis for - final reviews through the reviewer group - official reading at the April 28-30, 2008 meeting. (I cannot do later because I'm on travel April 20-26)

The goals of your work as chapter author: -----------------------------------------

- Remove references to MPI-1 and MPI-2. - Substitute by MPI. - Necessary modifications to achieve this goal.

With this, we should have a single MPI-2.1 standard that does not "know" the MPI-1 or MPI-2 history of individual functions.

** This should be mainly a task in the area of chapter-introductions. ** Please, never change the wording of function definitions.

Exceptions: - There are routines that are deprecated and that are already referenced in a consistent way. My recommendation: Current wording: There are *new* function, and existing are now deprecated. Proposal: There are functions, and there exist also deprecated functions with (nearly) same functionality but deprecated due to some lack in the bindings (or functionality) - There is history information in the frontmatter. - there is a change-log annex with limited memory (only previous version)

Technical editing rule: -----------------------

You must identify all of your changes:

a) new/modified wording - you are highlighting your new/modified wording with:

\mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEbegin% MPI-2.1 round-two - begin of modification .... your modified / new wording .... \mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEendI% MPI-2.1 round-two - end of modification

b) Moved paragraphs, sentences, ... - you are highlighting the first word of the moved text with:

\mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEbegin% MPI-2.1 round-two - begin of text-move First-word \mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEendI% MPI-2.1 round-two - ongoing text-move ... rest of the moved text.... % MPI-2.1 round-two - end of text-move

Caution: These macros work only in black parts of the text.

In blue parts you must substitute \mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEendI% by \mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEendII%

The highlighting is done with red color. (There are only a few other sentences from me magenta. Therefore red should be the best to highlight the round-two modifications.)
