This fixes a problem +with +xpa and +linux/linuxppc.</tt></li> + <li> <tt>04.03.2002 fixed a problem with AST. plot.c, line 19463, +change parameter +'force' from 1 to 0 in call to 'CheckLabels'. Sometimes we were seeing +adj labels that where the same.

Modified ast to +use +sscanf() +for all platforms except Darwin. Darwin uses astSscanf(), which works +around +a problem with sscanf() on MacOSX, with format strings of the following +format: sscanf(str, " %s %n", foo, &nc).</tt></li> + <li> <tt>02.04.2002 changed fity++ primary_/head_ header +relationship. +primary_ +is only set if there is a primary header is available and different +from +head_.</tt></li> + <li> <tt>02.04.2002 wsc's are init'd with both the head_ and the +primary_ (if +available) to handle the case where wcs keywords are spread between hdu +nd primary headers in mulitiple extension files.</tt></li> + <li> <tt>02.06.2002 all xpa commands are now 'catch{}' to invoke a +procedure +that will unwind the watch cursor stack.
