Steve, I don't know if this is deliberate or an oversight, but
having the entries for the java packages in the APPLICATION CHANGES
section looks a bit misleading to me:
> APPPLICATION CHANGES
> JNIAST v2.0-4 Java Native interface to AST (update)
> JNIHDS v0.3 Java Native Interface to HDS (update)
> SPLAT v2.0 Spectral data analysis tool (update)
> TREEVIEW v2.1-3 Hierarchical data viewer (update)
since these now appear in the STARJAVA section/package. I'd be inclined
to mark these '(transferred)' or something.
I can supply improved one-liners for some of the starjava class library
descriptions:
CLASS LIBRARIES in STARJAVA

DOM4J V0.1 Third party DOM access library (org.dom4j.*)

JNIAST V2.0-4 Java Native interface to AST
JNIHDS V0.3 Java Native Interface to HDS
JUNIT V3.7 Third party unit testing framework (junit.*)
NDX V0.1 N-dimensional astronomical object manipulation and I/O
TABLE Generic table manipulation and I/O
