Abstract: DS9 is the next version of the popular SAOtng display program.
 It is a Tk/Tcl application which utilizes the SAOtk widget set. It
 also incorporates the new X Public Access (XPA) mechanism to allow
 external processes to access and control its data, GUI functions, and
 algorithms. DS9  supports the direct display of FITS images and
 binary tables, multiple frame buffers, region cursor manipulation,
 many scale algorithms and colormaps, and easy communication with
 external analysis tasks. It is highly configurable and extensible to
 meet the evolving needs of the astronomical community.  DS9 supports
 advanced features such as multiple frame buffers, mosaic images,
 tiling, blinking, geometric markers, colormap manipulation, scaling,
 arbitrary zoom, rotation, pan, and a variety of coordinate systems
 (including Image, Physical, Detector, and WCS). DS9 also supports FTP
 and HTTP access. The GUI for DS9 is user configurable.
