Last change on this file since 1612 was 1612, checked in by Takeshi Nakazato, 15 years ago

New Development: No

JIRA Issue: Yes CAS-729, CAS-1147

Ready to Release: Yes

Interface Changes: No

What Interface Changed: Please list interface changes

Test Programs: List test programs

Put in Release Notes: Yes

Module(s): Module Names change impacts.

Description: Describe your changes here...

I have changed that almost all log messages are output to casapy.log,
not to the terminal window. After this change, asap becomes to depend on casapy
and is not running in standalone, because asap have to import taskinit module
to access casalogger.
