  The following studies were imported to the EOF:
	mssh_1.def
	treg22.def
	evers_3.def

  space.  The secondary processor was rebooted.  
  GIS Raw dumps were performed from 14:00 UT to 21:17 UT.
  Mistakes by the operator in commanding on station D27 forced the SYNOP study
  to be deleted from the plan.  Other studies were courrupted.
