08.05.2002 fixed a problem for the windows port where windows has been
configured to open a fits file with ds9. In this case, the file path name
passed to ds9 is actually in 'dos' format. So we used a cygwin function
to convert to a posix format. This only occurs in a command line file name
option.

Version 2.2b1
-
04.05.2002 fixed a problem with xpa contour load.
-
04.05.2002 improved parsing of analysis menu file. In particular, keywords
like 'help', 'param', and 'end' can be used more freely.
-
04.10.2002 add tag suppport for regions.
-
04.11.2002 add background marker stack. The default stack is in the
foreground.
-
04.11.2002 fixed checks for can Edit, can Move, can Rotate, and can
Delete properties thru out marker code.
-
04.11.2002 add HIGHLITE marker property.
-
04.12.2002 add $null macro to analysis support.
-
04.17.2002 fitsy++ now builds an keyword index to search for keywords.
Previously, it would search sequentially.
-
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%%'.
-
04.18.2002 upgrade to WCS 3.1.0
-
04.24.2002 start to add support for multiple wcs's.
-
04.25.2002 add support for multiple wcs's in infobox.
-
04.26.2002 improve tag support for regions. All functionality of selected
regions are now available for tagged regions.
-
04.30.2002 add marker command var command to support regions files
in tcl vars.
-
05.08.2002 recalc polygon center when adding or deleteing vertex.
-
05.13.2002 complete implementation of multiple wcs support. ds9 now
supports a total of 31 coordinate systems. Furthermore, of the 27 WCS coordinate
systems, both sky coordinates and linear coordinates are fully supported.
-
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.
-
05.14.2002 add support for TCROT and CDn_1 WCS keywords in FITS bin
tables.
-
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.
-
05.16.2002 fixed a minor problem with xpa dss. http has a error, that
carries over and is caught by xpa.
-
05.16.2002 analysis $text windows will not appear if there is no output,

when processing coordinates when no coordinate system has been specified.
-
06.13.2002 fixed a problem with -pan to command line option. The ds9

-
06.13.2002 binning on a third column now invokes the data cube dialog
box.
-
06.14.2002 add smaller buffer sizes to binning menus. We want to do
