	We thank Mohammed Ghorbani for suggestions.

OVERVIEW
	New functionality for quadrat methods, 
	including resampling of quadrats.

NEW FUNCTIONS
	
	quadratresample
		Resamples a point pattern by dividing the window into
		rectangular quadrats and randomly resampling the quadrats. 
		
	quadrats
		Divides a given region into quadrats
		and returns the quadrats as a tessellation.

	as.owin.psp
		Method for "as.owin" for objects of class "psp".

IMPROVEMENTS/ENHANCEMENTS

	shift.ppp
	shift.owin
	shift.im
	shift.psp
		These functions have a new argument 'origin'
		with options "centroid", "midpoint" and "bottomleft"
		indicating that the specified geometric location
		will be shifted to (0,0). For example, origin="cen"
		specifies that the centroid of the window will be 
		shifted to (0,0).

	tiles
		When the tessellation X is a rectangular grid,
		the entries of tiles(X) are now in a different order
		and have been renamed. They are now ordered 
		left-to-right in rows from top-to-bottom.

	cut.ppp
		When Y is a rectangular grid tessellation,
		the levels of the marks of cut(X,Y) 
		are now ordered differently (to conform with tiles())

BUGS

	[1] split.ppp
		On *some* computer systems, split(X,Y) gave strange results 
		when Y was a rectangular grid tessellation. This was a 
		quirk of the lexicographical ordering of factor levels.
		Fixed.
