15 octobre version 4.10
=====================
Features:
---------
New Assignment module (in Mode menu),
   Try it and tell me what do you think of it.
   Of course it still has a lot of room for improvement !
   most of the following new commands are used by this module.
FROMBOXes have been largely extend :
  new kind of field : ACTION => active buttons
                      TEXT   => scrollable text file
  possibility to have several field on the same line (NORETURN entry)
New command CLOSEFORM with the $WIDGET context associated
New context : $pk2d_err[] which holds the error of the last integration
New context : $zone[] which holds the coord. of the square drawn by the mouse
New contexts : $row[1] : last axis used by row/col $row[2] $row[3] last coord.
New command FIND, with 2 contexts associated $fnd_pk and $fnd_pk_dst
   used to scan a data-base.
New Command FOREACH, to easily go through all the entries of an (dbm) array.
    MUCH simpler than nextlm()
New Command ZEROING, sets to zero data-points below a given threshold
  (very usefull for file-compression !  see help zeroing)
New Command MSKCONC to bind an amoeba of one peak to another one
Some new or modified macros : upzoom zoom3di setfont pksumrec pkrmz
help and apropos Graphic User Interface fully rewritten in graphic mode.

Changes:
--------
Menus can now be chosen to be either as pulldown, or as static boxes
  controlled by the PULLDOWNMENU command
The command SETPEAK has been changed (actually was a bit silly),
  the old one has been kept as SETPEAK2
Renamed MODIF_AMOEBA to MSKMODIF (did ever someone use it ?)
Optimized pen journeying in GRID
RZOOM and ALERT rewritten in macro
Slightly changed the way the standard User Interface looks.
PKRM is now less verbose
The Zoom_out button and SHOWPEAK(S) now works in 3D display
ZOOM has been changed in 3D, zoom_old retains the old syntax
Modified again the HTML manual
$SOMREC renamed to $SUMREC ($SOMREC is still there)

Corrected bugs:
---------------
The Hz/ppm calculation have been corrected from a bug creating slight offsets,
  See the file README_ppm for more info.
local path is proposed as default in file selection boxes
It is now possible to open a dbm file with readonly access
Put and Get DATA were truncating to the integer part the spectral parameters
The macro burg3d was buggy.
CLOSEBUTTON with no buttons on was crashing
FT (in 2D or 3D) was buggy when applied along one axis and when the other
  axis (axes) had an odd number of points.
Extraneous errors about DBM arrays have been removed
The postscript header have been cleaned-up a little

28-march version 4.09
=====================
Features:
---------
Added 4 buttons in the zoom box to go in diagonal (bitmaps still a bit sloppy !)
Added two utilities from G.Salnikov :
	- dis2cache to transfer from DISNMR files
	- cache2pc to swap byte for those PC/Linux boxes.

Changes:
--------
INPROGRESS is now graphic (and can be called recursively)
modified SHOWPEAKS to be faster
Some changes in menus - Proc_1D has automatic phasing
                      - MaxEnt has been cleaned-up
                      - Peak has been reorganized
Formboxes had a quite limited number of 'enum' available.
Finally compiled under IRIX 5.3 (had to turn around a bug in the fortran compiler)

Corrected bugs:
---------------
READL and READV were quite buggy indeed !
FPRINT and HELP were buggy on HP
default value in dialogbox could not be correctly set
parameters were searched incorectly in file headers

   the $GIFAPATH variable permits to change the active path.
The Zoom box now displays the intensity of the data-set at the cursor point.
Two new commands : POINT_INPUT for adding a value in the point stack
                   SETPEAK for modifying a peak in the peak table
New macros :  pkadjust, point_cross
New variables : $PKNAME for the last read peak table

Changes:
--------
Absmax0 is now read from the file header in the READ command. This may
  interfere with the bug below, type the command ABSMAX 0 or click on the
  reset button to clear it.
exist() now works for arrays and dbm arrays
	(exist("array[]")) is true if array[x] exists with at least one entry
PUT DATA and GET DATA now copy all the spectral parameters
LIST has been rewritten in macro
SHOWPEAK and SHOWPEAKS now show in all available screens
LINEFITD has now a different syntax (I hope it won't disturb you !),
     now prompts for peak index to fix (much easier in macro (see pkadjust))
@(expression) is now possible

Corrected bugs:
---------------
Absmax0 was not computed correctly in the file header
File access was not possible for very asymmetric 2D and 3D
zoom window correctly displayed in the "catch spectrum" area

    (was buggy when length>12)
No more strange display after a read with a wrong zoom window.

This version is here to correct them. (Halloween effect ?)
Corrected bugs:
---------------
Some macro (typically, ft_n+p, proc2d, proc3d, burg2d, in fact all macros
  that play with DIM) tended to be very (I mean VERY) slow.
