TABLES v2.0.2 release notes

***************************

TABLES

- Many minor updates to the help files were made.

RDSELECT


- Name conflict with paper products routine; Changed is_rdselect to nextbrak.

TABLE ROW AND COLUMN SELECTORS

- Changed table column selector negation character from ~ to ! for the sake
  of consistency with the table row selector. Error checking was added to 
  row selector procedures. Various bugs were fixed including problems
  handling empty row selectors and FITS files containing images in the primary
  HDU.

TTOOLS

- TSELECT now handles very large files that used to cause "out-of-memory"
  problems.

FITSIO

- The following problems were corrected
	1) The mishandling IEEE floating point data in certain circumstances
	   (ignoring the ieee paramter flag or going into an endless loop
	   if integer data exceeded the defined iraf range of valid numbers.
	2) Cases where geis files with zero length group parameter block
	   lengths were produced.
	3) Replacing a call to a tables library routine since eliminated.
	4) The conversion of text files to FITS tables blanked out lines
	   containing null characters.


IGI

- A bug which surfaced when block averaging an odd number of lines was
  corrected.

STXTOOLS library

- Routines were modified to handle filename list expansion correctly when
  filenames use the more complex FITS filename syntax.
