+ <h4> <b>Version 2.2b1</b></h4>
+ <ol>
+ <li> <tt>04.05.2002 fixed a problem with xpa contour load.</tt></li>

+ <li> <tt>04.18.2002 add a fix to ps level 2 driver to prevent a
+'\n%'
+in the
+image data. Seems the perl script 'assemble' does a global
+search/replace
+that results in corrupted image data. This fix includes a redesign of a
+previous fix that worked around an issue with old versions of dvips
+that
+will incorrectly process'\n%%'.</tt></li>

+coordinate
+systems, both sky coordinates and linear coordinates are fully
+supported.</tt></li>
+ <li> <tt>05.13.2002 complete re-implemenation of map() functions.
+Now
+all map
+functions are in the fits case, and only map between REF and
+IMAGE/PHYSICAL/AMPLIFIER/DETECTOR/WCS/WCSA...
+coordinate systems. This cleans up alot of code and confusion.</tt></li>
+ <li> <tt>05.14.2002 add support for TCROT and CDn_1 WCS keywords
+in
+FITS bin
+tables.</tt></li>
+ <li> <tt>05.16.2002 dramatically speed up parsing wcs keywords by
+substituting
+the fitsy++ index based keyword search routine for Doug Mink's
+'ksearch'
+routine. With multiple wcs's in a large mosaic this can save up to a
+minute
+at load time.</tt></li>
+ <li> <tt>05.16.2002 fixed a minor problem with xpa dss. http has a
+error, that
+carries over and is caught by xpa.</tt></li>

+now an
