2 Revision History

This section contains a verbatim revision history taken from the IMAGER code. Except for minor typos or cosmetic changes, each modification in the code is documented by 1 line of code that includes three informations: IMAGER only gives the major revision number at start of program. The individual revision numbers of all its languages can be obtained using command SIC VERSION. This information can be useful for users encountering a suspected bug or strange behaviour, allowing him/her to see whether the problem has been handled since the version of IMAGER they use.
