+.SH "NAME"
+RegDiff \- Differences Between Funtools and IRAF Regions
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+Describes the differences between Funtools/ds9 regions and the old \s-1IRAF/PROS\s0
+regions.
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+We have tried to make Funtools regions compatible with their
+predecessor, \s-1IRAF/PROS\s0 regions. For simple regions and simple boolean
+algebra between regions, there should be no difference between the two
+implementations. The following is a list of differences and
+incompatibilities between the two:
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+If a pixel is covered by two different regions expressions,
+Funtools assigns the mask value of the \fBfirst\fR region that
+contains that pixel. That is, successive regions \fBdo not\fR
+overwrite previous regions in the mask, as was the case with the
+original \s-1PROS\s0 regions. This means that one must define overlapping
+regions in the reverse order in which they were defined in \s-1PROS\s0. If
+region N is fully contained within region M, then N should be defined
+\&\fBbefore\fR M, or else it will be \*(L"covered up\*(R" by the latter. This
+change is necessitated by the use of optimized filter compilation, i.e.,
+Funtools only tests individual regions until a proper match is made.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+The \fB\s-1PANDA\s0\fR region has replaced the old \s-1PROS\s0 syntax in which
+a \fB\s-1PIE\s0\fR accelerator was combined with an \fB\s-1ANNULUS\s0\fR accelerator
+using \fB\s-1AND\s0\fR. That is,
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& ANNULUS(20,20,0,15,n=4) & PIE(20,20,0,360,n=3)
+.Ve
+.Sp
+has been replaced by:
+.Sp
+.Vb 1
+\& PANDA(20,20,0,360,3,0,15,4)
+.Ve
+.Sp
+The \s-1PROS\s0 syntax was inconsistent with the meaning of the \fB\s-1AND\s0\fR operator.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+The meaning of pure numbers (i.e., without format specifiers) in
+regions has been clarified, as has the syntax for specifying coordinate
+systems. See the general discussion on
+Spatial Region Filtering
+for more information.
