2 Changes since the last issue

2.1 New packages

Two new items have been added to the Collection since the previous edition of this document (SUN/1.23, 5 August 2003) and are indicated as such in the heading of the appropriate sections.

The new packages are:

• AUTOASTROM Autoastrometry of mosaics. The new document (SUN/242)
  AUTOASTROM – Autoastrometry for Mosaics
  describes the package. AUTOASTROM is not available under Tru64 Unix.
• JCMTDR Applications for reducing JCMT GSD on-the-fly data. The documents SC/1 JCMTDR Cookbook and SUN/132 Applications for Reducing JCMT GSD Data 1.2-2 User’s manual describe the package.
• STARJAVA Starlink Java Infrastructure and Applications Set. The new document (SUN/251) Getting Started with the Starlink Java Infrastructure and Applications Set describes the package and
  /star/starjava/javadocs/index.html
  describes the Starlink STARJAVA classes API. There are miscellaneous documents in /star/starjava/docs/ for individula package information and third party application documentation.

  The STARJAVA package contains the following applications and classes. Note, SPLAT, TREEVIEW, JNIAST and JNIHDS have been moved to the STARJAVA package, instead of being individual packages.
