ChangeLog for dsplot
====================
Version 1.24.1 - 2004-03-15 (AI)
------------
+ Fixed error related to the VERSION number.
Version 1.24 - 2004-03-15 (AI)
------------
+ Documentation updated: parameters overhauled.
Version 1.23 - 2003-10-30 (AI)
------------

*none*
Version 1.22 - 2003-08-06 (UL)
------------
+ launch Grace subprocess now always explicitely with -nosafe opttion
to enable local file modification in batch mode (needed by
1-D region import from xmmselect); this closes SPR 2466: "xmmselect"
should start Grace with the `-nosafe' option
Version 1.21 - 2003-07-02 (UL)
------------
+ fixed problem of SPR 2456: Test harnbess fails on Mac OS X
[test harnesses run with Verbosity>0 cause diagnostic messages to
get intermixed with Grace commands when dstoplot writes to stdout]
Version 1.20 - 2003-06-16 (GV)
------------
+ Misc. fixes to make gcc-3.3 happy: include <cassert> and/or
proper initialization of base classes.
Version 1.19 - 2003-03-14 (UL)

Version 1.8 - 2000-04-25 (GV)
-----------
+ ({src,test}/Makefile) put dstoplot in USEDLIBS instead of
putting dstoplot.o in the dsplot_OBJS. This change is dictated by
