IPE UPDATE

IPE is in the process of being modified to take advantage of what I have learned while writing xvpanel. In the first version of IPE, which I described in SEP-65, an ASCII file for each program, describing its parameters, was read in by a program (Ipemake) that generated a C language subroutine to display a panel for that program. Thus each new program effectively had to be ``compiled in'' to IPE. Now, by attaching any program or parameter dependent information to objects using PANEL_CLIENT_DATA, I know how to dispense with this need for compiling in each program.
