    keyword=re: prescale warnings.

    Just to remind a few things about the prescale warnings:

    They are warnings, not errors. The prescale data is recorded
    two ways: a) an "old" way by inserting prescale.dat file into the
    data as character data in "event type 133"; and b) a "newer" way
    by inserting the 8 integers read directly from trigger supervisor
    in "event type 100". The warnings occur because these appear to be
    inconsistent, which happens when Podd analyzer has trouble parsing
    evtype 133. That's why it's better to keep this file simple, no
    extra squigglies. But evtype 100 wins the argument. However, note
    that the code that interprets evtype 133 was recently fixed -- so
    it should be identical to what is used by the DAQ -- but the counting
    house version of Podd does not have this fix yet.
