+<li>The <em class=program>obs_common_subset</em> program namelist has
+changed.  The program compares <em class=file>obs_seq.final</em> files
+that were produced by different runs of filter using the same input
+obs_sequence file.  The old version supported comparing only 2 files
+at a time; this version supports up to 50.  It also enforces the
