- UPDATE - WILL LIST CHANGES TO DROEGE
-
- 15 October 1986
-
- Fixed labels to remember their rotations and scale. Mirror still can be used
- only once. Fixed hang which caused subsequent entries to be arcs after leaving
- arc mode. Fixed plot arc and offset scaling. First setup now shows correctly.
- With additions and revisions to documentation we will release as "free" version
- 1.81. Good luck to our users.
-
- 28 September 1986
-
- Fixed bug which prevented last symbol opened from being drawn. Fixed bug which
- prevented find of a line in a newly created symbol.
-
- 25 September 1986
-
- Changed aperture list. Cleaned up and spell checked documentation for release
- as "free" version 1.8.
-
- 15 August 1986
-
- Changed arrays so that larger storage is possible with Quick Basic. Encrypted
- heading and user ID. Changed format of sign on to hold until any key is hit.
-
- 3 August 1986
-
- Changed some key labels to allow consistant documentation.
-
- 30 July 1986
-
- Changed the FRE reading on the KP3 flags dump to the -1 option which does
- garbage collection and lists all available memory.
-
- Changed hash table search algorithm. Now we hope no longer to get a hash table
- full error when there is still room. Someday we should analyze this more
- carefully.
-
- 27 July 1986
-
- Fixed crash caused by deletion of everything from a symbol.
-
- Fixed stitch table entry for a via so it now finds the right name for the via
- symbol.
-
- Changed name of PUT and GET key to PUTFIL and GETFIL.
-
- 20 July 1986
-
- Fixed, we hope, so that symbols rotate when you want them to.
-
- Fix to line end. Bug caused the last line point to be deleted when a line was
- ended at the same location as the last position entry.
-
- Added STITCH as an alternative line entry mode. Stitch is an alternative to
- the LOCLIN key. It provides two additional menues. The first level menu is
- blank except for key 5 (STSET) Stitch Set. Pressing key 5 gets a second menu
- which allows selecting 4 preset setups for keys 1-4. Key 5 on the second menu
- allows assigning a symbol (VIASYM) to a VIA. After backing out of the second
- menu, lines can be entered in the usual way from the first menu. Pressing one
- of the keys 1-4 changes the setup to the preselected one. This is a fast way
- to switch between setups in line entry mode. In additon, if a key is pressed
- that changes the setup while a line is open (started but not ended), the VIA
- symbol is inserted and the line can be continued with the new setup.
-
- This allows a line to be started and shifted from level to level with
- automatic insertion of VIA's.
-
-
- 17 July 1986
-
- Added NOLAB/SHOLAB key. This key is on the menu with DR@W/DR@L key. NOLAB
- causes redraw to skip all labels (including symbol labels). Initial position
- is the SHOLAB position which shows labels. Note that even entry of a new label
- is skipped in the NOLAB position.
-
- Fixed problem which caused objects to be drawn at incorrect width on opening a
- symbol. Tall skinny objects had their lines and pads drawn too large.
-
- 16 July 1986
-
- Added new keys in the load menu to list symbols in three catagories instead of
- the old single symbol list. Separate listings can now be had for symbols,
- labels, and the keyboard symbols. This saves having to wait for the same old
- keyboard listing each time the symbols are listed.
-
- Changed the format of the symbol listing available from the OPRSYM key. The
- list now includes the symbol name, number, hash, times used on the first nest
- level, times used on the second nest level, and times used at levels greater
- than two. This is to aid in editing a symbol composed of many layers of nested
- symbols so the desired sub symbol can be located.
-
- Fixed problem which caused linked list to become disconnected when a point was
- deleated at the end of the last line entered.
-
- Fixed problem which prevented the last symbol created from being found.
-
- Fixed problem which caused bomb on entry of a single character label.
-
- Changed format of KP9 listing so that symbols are no longer expanded. Last
- version also had bug which ended listing after first symbol.
-
- Added fast slow key. KP5 now increases speed by X10. Caps lock must be on and
- Num lock and Scroll lock must be off for this to work. Old KP5 function (list
- the flags) is now performed by KP3. For KP1,KP7, KP9, and KP3 to work for
- their diagnostic functions Caps lock must be on, Num lock must be on, and
- Scroll lock off.
