[Spice_announce] Announcing a New SPICE Toolkit: Version N0057

[Charles H. Acton]

JPL's Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) is pleased 
to announce the release of Version N0057 of the SPICE Toolkit. 
Versions for all supported languages and environments (platform, OS 
and compiler) may be obtained from the usual location:

   ftp://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/toolkit

The "whats.new" file in each of the "packages" sub-directories 
describes the major changes and additions. Foremost amongst these is 
the first official release of "Icy": the Interactive Data Language 
(IDL) interface to CSPICE.

The source code "header" that provides instructions on how to use a 
module has been updated for a number of the most popular modules. 
(Updates for still more module headers are being worked for the next 
release.)

As always, this Toolkit is fully backwards compatible with previous 
versions. Customers should find no changes in linking their own 
applications to the SPICELIB (Fortran) or CSPICE (C language) 
libraries, and the included utility and application programs operate 
and act as before.
