Version 1.136 2001-05-31 (MT)
------------------------
- Fixed a suble problem with Table::seek(); it should now work
  correctly with the high memory model.
- Overhauled the implementation of the dataset server.
- cxx: Implemented the following method

	// *******************************************************************
	// The client name to which which a dataset is to be associated 
	// is set using the method DataSetServer::client( const string&
	// clientName ). Whenever a dataset is opened it is always associated
	// with the current clientName.
	// The cleanupClient( const string& clientName ) method iterates
	// through all open datasets and closes those (regardless of the
	// reference count) datasets whose client name
	// matches the given client name.
	// *******************************************************************
       /** Flush all the datasets associated with the named client back to
       disk.
       * @param clienName The name of the client. */
	virtual void DataSetServer::cleanupClient( const string& clientName ) = 0;

  ---------------> THIS METHOD MUST ONLY BE CALLED BY METAtASKS.

- f90: Implemented the following subroutine (it has the same functionality as
  described above)

	subroutine cleanupClient( clientName )
		character(len=*), intent(in) :: clientName

		call error( "", errorMessage )

	end subroutine cleanupClient

  ---------------> THIS SUBROUTINE MUST ONLY BE CALLED BY METAtASKS.
