[OpenMadrigal-developers] Changes to global search and other Madrigal changes

[William Rideout]

As suggested by Shunrong Zhang, I've made some format changes to the 
output of the global report.  The report now is generated as a text 
file, instead of html.  Users now have the option of showing all data as 
one long block (the default), or listing file names between each file's 
data.  This was done to make the output file easier to parse.

Also, I made one change to the filter rules for isprint, again, as 
suggested by Shunrong Zhang.  If an error parameter is used in a filter 
(such as dtr), and the error parameter has a value of assumed or 
knownbad (special values defined by the Cedar standard), that data is 
rejected by the filter.  This extends the normal rule that if any filter 
parameter (whether normal or error) is the special value missing, that 
data is rejected.

Finally, ffw has now been revised so it simply calls isprint in the 
background. The calling format has not changed, except that it now 
accepts the new flag -l, which will cause if it list the parameters 
displayed in the first row:

ffw -file filename [-l] -p parameter ... -f parameter minval maxval ...

If someone really desires to use the old code, simply call 
"ffw_deprecated" (and also let me know why).

These changes have all been installed at Millstone.  If there's any 
interest in these changes at other Madrigal installations, please let me 
know, and I'll put out a minor Madrigal release.
