Backwards Compatibility Issue:<br />
• To prevent overloading ambiguity resulting from the new flag added to ExtH-<br />
DU/Table get-by-name Column functions for case-insensitive searches, the protected<br />
column(string,Column∗) function has been renamed to setColumn. As<br />
this is a protected function, the change should not affect standard usage of C-<br />
Cfits.<br />

1.6 Authors and Acknowledgements<br />
<strong>CCfits</strong> was written as part of a re-engineering effort for the X-Ray data analysis program,<br />
XSPEC. It was designed using Rational Rose and originally implemented on<br />
a Solaris platform by Ben Dorman to whom blame should be attached. Sandhia -<br />
Bansal worked on part of the implementation and, and Paul Kunz (pfkeb@slac.-<br />
stanford.edu) wrote the configuration scheme and dispensed helpful advice: both<br />
are also thanked profusely for the port to Windows2000/VC++.net. Thanks to R. -<br />
Mathar (MPIA) and Patrik Jonsson (Lick Obs.) for contributing many helpful suggestions<br />
and bug reports, and ports to HP-UX and AIX respectively.<br />
<strong>CCfits</strong> is currently maintained by Craig Gordon and Bryan Irby (ccfits@heasarc.-<br />
gsfc.nasa.gov). Suggestions and bug reports are welcome, as are offers to fill out<br />
parts of the implementation that are missing. We are also interested in knowing which<br />
parts of cfitsio that are not currently supported should be the highest priority for future<br />
extensions.<br />
