=========================================================================


* [1616] ObsBLock atatus events are captured in the OT (Service Mode)
         and P2PP Visitor mode. At the moment there are only visible
         from within the OT. Please see Nicks spec document on the 
         Web. I will give a demo of the workflow tomorrow

* [1740] Externalised execution time for VLT instruments. Put in
         infrastructure code so exectime is now called from a script.
         in a directory called exectime off the instrument package
         definiton.        

         As FLAMES needs the exectime ob the BOB side it also 
         recalculates the exectime when the OB is sent to BOB. For FLAMES
         the OB exectime is also stored in the acquisition template

  is below the horizon.

  Observing Run descriptors A-Z.

  meaning the user's home directory.

  connection errors (time-outs, etc.)

  making selected entries disappear.
