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.

FITS bin
tables.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>05.16.2002 dramatically speed up parsing wcs keywords by

routine. With multiple wcs's in a large mosaic this can save up to a
minute
at load time.</tt></li>

    <li> <tt>06.06.2002 add wcs master menu and buttons</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.06.2002 sync xpa wcs and command line wcs command.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.10.2002 xpa wcs and commanline -wcs now uses same code
to
process</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.10.2002 xpa nameserver format now skyformat</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.10.2002 added support for variable args for xpa
contour
and -contour.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.11.2002 add match frames physical, amplifier,
detector.
this does
not handle rotation, nor orientation.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.11.2002 the master wcs menu now modifies the
Region:File
Coordinate
System menu also</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.11.2002 fixed a problem with list projection and
linear
wcs. the

option.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.13.2002 fixed a problem with ds9parser.Y,

when processing coordinates when no coordinate system has been
specified.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.13.2002 fixed a problem with -pan to command line
option.
The ds9
window needs to be realized (and the matrices defined) before
processing.</tt></li>

cube dialog
box.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.14.2002 add smaller buffer sizes to binning menus. We
want
to do
this for those building large 3D binning movies.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>06.19.2002 implemented new grid support. Grids now handle
rotated images
much better. Numerics are better positioned.</tt></li>

and
16 bit
truecolor.</tt></li>

the
bin factor
of fits bin tables.</tt></li>
    <li> <tt>07.08.2002 add $xpa_method analysis macro.</tt></li>

    <li> <tt>07.24.2002 changed Makefiles so that parser.C,
parser.C.h,
and lex.C
are now archived. Therefor, builds no longer need bison and flex,
unless
changes have been made to the parser.Y. This gets around problems with
different versions of bison.</tt></li>
