process'\n%%'.</tt></li>

systems. This cleans up alot of code and confusion.</tt></li>

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>
