Dear group,
This is a list of changes that have been made to the dynamic
chapter since the version distributed at the last meeting and
that appear in the document Steve just released.

Bill

- changed MPI::Comm::Inter -> MPI::Inter_comm
- changed MPI::Comm::Intra -> MPI::Intra_comm

- changed "delete_name" to "unpublish_name"

- changed order of args on MPI_PUBLISH_NAME
- made it more clear that info can change the scope

- changed order of args on MPI_UNPUBLISH_NAME
- added info arg to MPI_UNPUBLISH_NAME

- changed many references to "command line" to "command"

- added "static" to c++ binding for Get_parent

- changed MPI_COMM_GET_PARENT to return MPI_COMM_NULL if parent
has been freed or disconnected. Changed advice to users to reflect
this.

- comment about column major ordering under SPAWN_MULTIPLE turned
into rationale.

- changed definition of "connected" to include sharing windows and filehandles.
- removed restriction that disconnect can not be called before closing files
and windows.

- fixed examples (esp function names)

- changed manager-worker example slightly so that it doesn't directly
contradict advice in the text.
