  Smarter choice of format/position for position information in the information panel.
  Use right/left arrow keys to change 2nd parameter of maps (up/down for 1st parameter).
  More intelligently updating plot window when "Faster Graphics" is chosen.
  Choice of current orbit was not resetting properly after you did a "Find".
  Allowed use of right/left arrow toincrement/decrement the second parameter of the map (if any)
   
4.0b1 First Carbonized version
  Fixed a bug in Editlist where a null orbit list pointer was referenced
  Added an Apple Help file, accessible from the Help menu.
  Changed the timing computation. Note that OS X seems to have a very slow mathlib: Computations of sin(x) have a 40% penalty. There is also a penalty from the OS from time slicing. So iterations are slower!
  Changed the memory allocation routines for the stable manifold calculation. They more efficiently release memory when points are clipped.
  Turned off double buffering under OS X.
  Cleaned up the Naviagation services code,and brought it up-to-date with Nav Services 3.0
  Mostly cleaned up dialogs for Aqua appearance
  Changed the color button in the Editlist dialog
  Added a new resource for the symmetry popup menu. Used the newer popup menu control code.
  Added Code so that OS X registers the help book. It shows up in the help index after you run StdMap once.
   
4.1 Used Carbon Events Model (much more efficient under OS X)
  Revamped much of the code for OS X compatability
  Used the Quickdraw LockPortBits & QDSetDirtyRegion for faster OS X drawing
  Updated to Navigation Services version 3.0. Support for Long file names and file extensions under OS X.
4.1.1 Fixed right & left arrows in EditOrbit dialog
  Do not iterate when click on Plot Window Placard
  Prevent iterating from continuing while menus selected (really only a problem with OS 9)
  Fixed background color for OS 9 window updates
  New Program & document icons (you may have to rebuild the desktop (OS 9), delete the files LSClaimedTypes, etc. in ~/Library/Preferences (OS 10.1) or delete the files com.apple.LaunchServices.LocalCache.csstore in ~/Library/Cache (10.2) to see the new icon.
  Fixed update when Toggling ShowAxes so that orbits are not erased (under OS 9 anyway).
  Fixed resave of files which failed due to fogetting to remove old 'pnot' resource
  Fixed Help file acessibility under OS 9.
4.1.2 Saved Plot Window contents when Application hidden (Note that we don't notify user if Application sent quit from the finder with unsaved documents).
  Fixed Drag scale code when plot window moved away from (0,0)
  Fixed Access memory at 0x0 when incrementing parameters with curve dialog shown, but no orbits in orbitlist.
  Fixed Quit when iterate dialog on screen. Now you can quit safely in all circumstances, I believe.
  Fixed Map Params Menu when Shift key held down (does not do an auto coordinate change)
  Disabled Enlarge and Reduce menu items when plot not in front
Fixed draw symmetry lines when coordinates zoomed in.
  Fixed standard coordinate choice for Henon when a < -1.0
  Made changing a map with a "dirty" window trigger "Save this?" (as well as cleaning up outdated FSSpec's in favor of FSRefs)
  Modified Fermi map--a new desingularized version at y=0 is default This is especially helpful if you want to iterate near there, or draw symmetry lines.
  Added the background color to the saved information with a document, so that it is properly restored when you open
  Fixed a bug in the save orbit iterates option that was causing the wrong initial condition to be used.
  Now when inverse iteration is selected, the Find periodic orbit commands still work (always interating forward).
  Canceling a "Save As" no longer looses contact with the old file.
  Fixed bug in setting the proper port for High resonlution printing
4.1.3 More intelligent choice of gNiterates for OS <10.2 (much lower than 10.2 since it is very slow. You should upgrade!!!)
  Added "Speedometer" menu item to allow you to set gNiterates. If small, the iteration will be relatively slow--suitably for demonstrations. There is an optimum gNiterates for speed vs responsiveness....it should be close to the programs initial choice.
  Hold down option key for faster startup (fixes gNiterates = 10K), and disabling "verbose tips."
  Changed default printing to "Screen Res." Added Cmd-Shift-P for High Res print.
  Added version number to the about box.
  Copy axes with plot into the clipboard when they are shown
  Added a "+" sign to axes labels when xmax-xmin < 10-3 to indicate that it is a "delta"...added a digit to the display.
  Fixed bug in "Show Iterates" that didn't start it properly.
  Fixed bug when resizing plot if it wasn't the front window that didn't erase it properly.
  Yet another improvement in memory allocation for curve drawing.
  Added "Exit Time" and "Transit Time" options in Find Menu. Eventually will plot the exit time distribution.
  Fixed Plot window string display when a Nav serices dialog in front (OS 9 only)
  Only zoom or draw curve if mouse clicked in plotRect.
  Better dealing with minimized windows and "bring all to front" command.
  Don't stop iteration when rescaling or changing colors (just suspend temporarily).
4.1.4 Fixed copy axes with backcolor not white.
  Fixed the size of the rectangle allocated for the Save Iterates option in the Save File dialog (for alternate system fonts)
  Added "Verbose" tip about memory allocated for curve drawing.
   
4.2 Now support the services menu for TEXT and PICT
  Converted Maps to a C++ Class

  Notify user if in background and want to quit with unsaved changes
   
4.3 Fixed Henon residue-> frequency calculation.
  Added the Forced Duffing oscillator
  Fixed McMillan for a<-2.0 where there are only hyperbolic fixed points.
  Added "beep on escape" menu option
  Fixed the Find routine for Henon and allies by using the angle to compute rotation number
  Draw Axes turned off for saving files, and on in other iff it's on for the user
  Fixed the erase of rectangle when cancelling a drag scale (used PenMode(patXor))
  Moved Position display down a pixel so it does't overlap plot region
  Bring Plot Window to the front when closing

  Added some extra menu key equivalents (with Shift & Option keys)
  Allow user quit the Brent routine if find is taking too long
  Fixed the fixed point finding routines, adding a new option to the find routines for the special case of (p,q) = (0,q) (fixed point).
  Set default clipping for separatrix map to unbounded.
  Set default window size for new plot to the same as previous one.
  Removed Window Proxy Icon from new windows. They shouldn't have one until there as an associated file.
  Two wave map now warns if k not integer. Also more intelligent choice for y range as parameters a and b vary.
  Smarter drawing of symmetry lines for the TwoWave and Duffing flows.
  Now can "Save As" over the same file we have open.
  Added "Shift" command keys for Symmetry Lines and High Res Print
  Fixed International number formats--needed a thousands separator. (For some reason European formats don't want to write "0,1", but write ",10").
4.4.1 Fixed international formatting for "save iterates to file"
  Removed Help tags from Menu titles as they can cause a port error.
  Set Separatrix map to default to wrap y periodically (0 < y < 1). See Clipping Menu to change.

4.4.2 Using Nib files for menus, windows, helptags, etc.
  Edit Orbit Dialog is now a normal window, and can remain open while you iterate, etc.
  Added "Plot boxes" to Edit Orbit. So you can see short orbits.
  Added "Random Iterate Mode" You start up with this if "Give Helpful tips" is checked.
  Changed some command keys and reordered the menus. Most items have keys now.
  StopPause dialog now much more efficient on processor (uses CarbonEvents)
4.4.3 Added more colors to the rotation for orbit colors. Made the color choice exclude the window background color.
  Universal Binary for intel Macs. (Needed to deal with Endian issues in our files)
  Added keyboard handler for EditOrbit, so--for example--the arrow keys work.
  Added Preference saving. We now save the window sizes, positions, and map choice and options that you may have chosen.
  Made the alert windows into sheets when appropriate.
4.4.4 Redid the Printing code to use the more modern PrintSession commands.
  Fixed a long standing bug where a second print in High Resolution mode would fail to draw stable manifolds properly
  Improved user Cancel codes for printing and curve drawing.
4.4.5 Made an overlay window for the axes, so they nolonger erase the orbits. (A side effect is that we don't print or copy the axes as of yet).
  Now saving the background color as a preference.
  Made the enlarge/reduce and curve drawing routines draw in an overlay window
4.4.6 Added Command-key secondary "help tips"
  Fixed a bug where enlarge rubberband would fail if axes were not shown
4.4.7 Fixed problem with exittime if numOrbits = 0.
  Changed orbit structure to use "angle" instead of slope of eigenvector so that infinite slope is okay

  Moved Maps tipStr into each map. Created new PrintTip routine for a char *. Moved NavMenu strings into strings.h Removed extraneous resources from strings.r and compiled it to strings.rsrc.
  Added "SaveCurrentEditOrbit" to case SYMM in EditListControlClick to prepare for an update event after menu select Unchecked the Minimax symmetry item in the nib file as we set it each time but never unset it!

  Changed ID of BOX control to 111, as there seems to be a conflict (all AMap controls need to have separate IDs?) Probably should change all the contols in the curve dialog--edit the StdMap.xib file explicitly
4.5.4 Changed the tipStr to CFTipStr. Made PrintTip deal with CFString (for unicode characters)
  Commented out PutScrapFlavor in the text cut & copy as it was doing it twice, with TECut.
4.5.5 Save and restore "oldColor" when doing stable manifold so that when cycleColor is off, we don't mess it up
