Version 2.9 - 2004-03-19 (NW)
        -------------------------------
 
        Included binning by minimum number of counts per channel.
                                    
Version 2.8 - 2002-07-25 (NW)
        -------------------------------
 
        Updated the DEPEND file. It now includes a dependence on sas.
                                    
                                            
Version 2.7 - 2002-06-03 (NW)
----------------------

        Made the updates necessary for the new version of param

Version 2.6.1 - 22-05-01
----------------------

	The documentation has been updated to include an example of how to
	run especplot and to include the columns required in the spectrum
	header extension of the input files.

Version 2.6 - 06-04-01
----------------------

	The test harness has been changed to be variable for Linux or
 	Unix, because the environment variables are different.  In this
 	way, the test can be passed on Linux or Unix.


Version 2.5 - 23-03-01
----------------------

        The environment variables for `pgplot' were different to those 
        at the `static build' and hence the test was not passed, as the 
        output files were different to the comparison files.  The 
        environment variables for `pgplot' are now changed, so the 
        output files of the `static build' should pass the test.

        Also, essential keywords are now read from the header extension,
 	rather than the primary header, so that files generated by
 	`evselect' can be read.  `Especplot' no longer uses the CAL to
 	determine the energy value of each data bin, but uses 1PI=1eV, a
 	fundamental convention adopted in the pipeline.


	
Version 2.4 - 20-12-00
----------------------

        Changed the test harness so that it no longer calls gs

Version 2.3.1 - 02-11-00
----------------------

        Revised the documentation and updated the GROUPS description
	
Version 2.3 - 03-10-00
----------------------
        Upgrade the version number as required for the SAS V5


Version 2.2.2 - 26-09-00
------------------------
	Update the .info file

Version 2.2.1 - 27-06-00
------------------------
	- SSC-SPR-1824 especplot (version 2.2) : Update documentation to remove non existant links
	
Version 2.2 - 22-05-00
----------------------

	add especplot.info in the config directory

Version 2.1 - 18-04-00
----------------------

	The following SPRs have been fixed (1661)

	- SSC-SPR-1661 especplot (version 2.0): wrong format for errors and warnings in documentation
	
	
Version 2.0 - 07-03-00
----------------------

	The following SPRs have been fixed (1512 was irelevant)
	
	- SSC-SPR-1514 especplot (version 1.11): The existing output file
 	is deleted for SAS_CLOBBER=0 and for SAS_CLOBBER=1

	- SSC-SPR-1513 especplot: There is no parameter layout file
	
	- SSC-SPR-1512 especplot (version 1.11): srcspectrumset should be
 	a mandatory parameter
	
 	- SSC-SPR-1511 especplot (version 1.11): useautobinning should be
 	a boolean parameter and not a string one.
                 
   	- SSC-SPR-1510 especplot (version 1.11): The documentation does
 	not follow "hello" document conventions .
                 
	
Version 1.11 - 26-11-99
-----------------------

- Test spectra must now have 4096 channels (it was 4095 earlier). This 
depends on the CAL.

Version 1.10 - 7-10-99
----------------------

-Fixed SSC-SPR-1267

  especplot (version 1.8): Task hangs when binsize=2.0 or 1.0

-Fixed SSC-SPR-1268

  especplot (version 1.8): Source and background plots have different 
  energy ranges.

Version 1.9 - 28-09-99
----------------------

-Fixed SSC-SPR-1266

  especplot (version 1.8): task looks for incorrect attributes in header

Version 1.8 - 22-09-99
----------------------

-Fixed SPR (1241)

Version 1.6 - 08-06-99
----------------------

- Update of DEPEND file (cal 3.0)
- Change also the fits files for the test (now has 4095 channels)


Version 1.5 - 11-05-99
----------------------

- DEPEND now contains taskmain (SPR 989)
- Make test harness sentivitive to the existence of the executable

Version 1.4 - 03-05-99
----------------------

- EXTERNALS = pgplot (in src/Makefile)
- Fix cal version dependency (update DEPEND)
- Test harness check on whether the output file exists

Version 1.3 - 23-06-98
-----------------------

- Closed SSC-SPR-[0360/0362]

Version 1.2 - 26-05-98
-----------------------

- Closed SSC-SPR-[0155/0160]

Open SPRs :
  SSC-SPR-0360 : function change_case duplicated in other tasks
  SSC-SPR-0361 : remove the additions in especplot.tex
  SSC-SPR-0362 : test harness only test running-to-completion


Version 1.1 - 22-04-98
-----------------------

- Initial version for SAS v1 integration

Open SPRs :
  SSC-SPR-0155 : Use empty default values
  SSC-SPR-0156 : Require .par instead of .prm
  SSC-SPR-0157 : Require ghostview
  SSC-SPR-0158 : Make test waits for STDIN
  SSC-SPR-0159 : Task contains postscript files
  SSC-SPR-0160 : Documentation version number incorrect
