TUI 1.4b3 is now available from the usual location:
<http://www.apo.nmsu.edu/35m_operations/TUI-images/files/>

The main new feature is SPIcam control!

Other improvements include:
* Focus script enhancements, including user-settable bin factor
* Guide windows: improved the scale and range menus. Both the 
available options and the default setting are better.
* The Enclosure window controls more devices and the controls are simpler.
* The Mac version is a universal binary

For details see the Version History:

*** Warning for Unix Users ***

TUI now uses numpy instead of numarray and Numeric (as of version 
1.4). As a result, unix users must install:
* numpy 1.0 or later
* pyfits 1.1 or later. Warning: once this is installed, to you must 
take a special step to run TUI 1.3 or older: you must set environment 
variable NUMERIX to numarray. I suggest you define this in the shell 
script that launches TUI 1.3 (or older) because it is must not be set 
for TUI 1.4.
* A numpy-compatible version of matplotlib to run focus scripts. 
Future versions of TUI are likely to require matplotlib to run at 
all. (The Mac and Windows versions of TUI already include matplotlib.)

P.S. the latest TUI 1.4 prerelease is available as /net/bin/tuibeta 
(and has been for some time)
