*       $Log: NumericPropagator.h,v $
*       Revision 1.2  2005/06/10 12:53:28  jayhawk_hokie
*       Changed header file format to make it easier to link to the spacecraft code by only having to specify dsacss/dep/spacecraft/src (ex. "file.h" changed to <dir/file.h> where dir is a folder in src).
*       
*       Revision 1.1.1.1  2005/04/26 17:40:56  cakinli
*       Adding OpenSESSAME to DSACSS distrib to capture fixed version.
*       
*       Revision 1.8  2003/10/18 21:37:27  rsharo
*       Removed "../utils" from all qmake project paths. Prepended "utils
*       /" to all #include directives for utils. Removed ".h" extensions from STL header
*       s and referenced STL components from "std::" namespace.  Overall, changed to be
*       more portable.
*       
*       Revision 1.7  2003/05/22 21:02:16  nilspace
*       Updated comments.
*       
*       Revision 1.6  2003/05/20 17:55:35  nilspace
*       Updated comments, also now use derived CombinedNumericProp.
*       
*       Revision 1.5  2003/05/13 18:54:04  nilspace
*       Fixed comments & various propagate functions.
*       
*       Revision 1.4  2003/04/27 22:04:33  nilspace
*       Created the namespace O_SESSAME.
*       
*       Revision 1.3  2003/04/25 13:43:52  nilspace
*       Updated to actually work. Still needs verification.
*       
*       Revision 1.2  2003/04/23 16:30:58  nilspace
*       Various bugfixes & uploading of all changed code for new programmers.
*       
*       Revision 1.1  2003/04/08 22:49:56  nilspace
*       Initial Submission.
