Observing Summary:

McGraw is still dead, but I'm not using the OSU data systems so 
it is only used for telescope and instrument control.  Rick 
Pogge managed to port the OSU TCS gui onto mdm13ws1; however,
one also needs xmis2.  He and I managed to get that to work on
mdm13ws1 -- I had to become user obspkg and hand configure a
few things.  I expect some of the configurations are not right,
since I couldn't get sensible control of the guide probe, but 
I was able to work around this and got several useful observations
later in the night.  

The upshot is that it isn't absolutely critical to get the 
substitute McGraw functioning tomorrow, but it would be nice
to have over the weekend.  

No new problems.
