2 v5_13  07/11/2005
 The following version numbers apply to this version of Mn_Fit:

 Mn_Fit      v5_13
 ZEUS_DSP    1.00/05

 This section lists the changes that have been made since
 Mn_Fit version 5_06. Check `HELP CHANGES V5_06' for a list of
 changes made in version 5_06.

 This release has been tested with the 2002, 2003 and 2004 releases of the
 CERN libraries. It has also been linked to the 98 version for
 CLEO. Depending on your version of gcc you may only be able to link with one
 of the versions. Versions earlier than 98 are known to have date/time
 problems.


 +++ Known Bugs or Problems:
 ___________________________


 The text size when you use `SET HIGZ TABLE TEXT' or `SET HIGZ TABLE CHAR'
 followed by `IGTABL' is sometimes wrong.  If this is a problem
 you can use `SET SYMBOL -1' or `SET SYMBOL -2' followed by `PLOT'
 instead.

 `DRAW' commands with the mouse on only work in CM.

 You cannot give a range of array elements to use in a `CUT'
 command. This only works in the variables to be projected. If you
 need to do something fancy like this you have to use a COMIS function
 for the cut.

 You can only access a variable in a CWN using the `DEPOSIT/EXAMINE'
 commands. It is not possible to access array elements this way.

 COMIS has occasional problems on OSF1 machines (Cernlib 98).

 The ZEUS forward detector display has not yet been integrated into this
 version.


 +++ New Features:
 _________________


 ROOT interface is reasonably complete. Separate the name and number of a ROOT
 histogram with `;' rather than `:'.

 Commands `MADD' and `MSUBTRACT' are available to add or subtract a series of
 histograms from each other.

 You can specify whether the full range or the plot limits should be
 used to calculate the area under a function using the
 `SET FUNCTION AREA' command.

 You can try to recover Ntuples where the job creating them fail - use the
 `HRECOVER' command.

 The fit status and estimated distance to minimum are stored in registers 113
 and 114.

 An array of character variables is now available `DEP CHAR...' to set them,
 `SHOW CHAR...' to look at them and `{CHAR(i)}' to use them - see HELP Text
 for more details. You can also set histogram titles and Ntuple variable names
 with the `DEPOSIT' command.

 Cernlib version 2002 is now the default, but another version may be used
 depending on the location.


 +++ New Commands:
 _________________


 FUNCTION ADD RARGUS    Adds a reverse ARGUS function - useful for
                        phase space turn on.
 HRECOVER               Tries to recover an Ntuple from a failed job.
 LS                     Alias for `LDIRECTORY'.
 MADD                   Adds a series of histograms together.
 MSUBTRACT              Subtracts a series of histograms from another histogram.
 PWD                    Prints the current HBOOK or ROOT directory.
 SET FUNCTION AREA      Use the plot limits or the full range to
                        calculate the area under a function.
 SHOW CHAR              Prints the one or more character array elements.


 +++ Modified Commands:
 ______________________


 ROOT_FETCH             Fetches 3-D histograms, profile plots and variable bin
                        width histograms properly.
 DEPOSIT                Can now set character array, histogram title and
                        Ntuple variable names
 EXAMINE                Can also look at character array elements, histogram
                        title and Ntuple variable names and character values.
 Numbers                The fit status and EDM are in registers 113 and 114
 SHOW CHAR              Shows one or more character array elements.
 SHOW CHARACTER         Shows the comment and continuation characters.


 +++ Improvements and Bug Fixes:
 _______________________________


 Cernlib version 2002 is now the default.

 Complete ROOT interface is available.

 The character used to separate the name from the number of a ROOT histogram
 was changed from `:' to `;' to avoid problems when specifying a range.

 2-D histogram size is checked before trying to use IGTABL. Font size was not
 set correctly in the `2DIM TEXT' and `2DIM TABLE' commands.

 It is not possible to abbreviate the the `SHOW CHARACTER' command
 beyond `SHOW CHARA', as `SHOW CHAR' is used to show character array
 elements. `EXAMINE' can now also be used for the various character
 variables: title, variable name, character variable value and the
 character array.

 Test macros adapted to use a single directory for all output
 files. You are prompted for the directory with `all_test'. 
 `init_test' assumes that it is the current working directory.
