updated. The new release is called 'igs08_1685.atx'. It contains the 
following changes:

1) According to Stefan Schaer (CODE) BLOCK IIA satellite SVN37 is active 
utilizing PRN24 since today. Therefore, the following satellite has been 
added to igs08.atx:

G24 (G037)

The switch from SVN32 to SVN37 was announced in 'NANU 2012024':
