- The primary reason for ordering the licensed copy is to obtain use of
- additional memory. It is also somewhat faster. This licensed version has been
- tested to 640k systems, and we believe it will make use of most of a megabyte
- on an AT. In any case the licensed copy is much more useful since the space
- left after a reasonable library has been loaded is much larger. We can make
- much larger jobs on a 640k system than we can stand to wait to redraw. We do
- not see that much more memory will be useful.
-
- We are presently testing Enhanced Graphics Adapter Support. This version will
- allow extended user selection of colors.
-
- One defect of the present version is that the last color written overwrites the
- previous color. We are coding a version which "OR"s the colors so that you
- will be able to tell when two lines are on top of each other. When tested this
- will be included in the enhanced version.
-
- We will either ship the enhanced version with above improvements or send
- updates. The following improvements are under consideration. We would like to
- hear from users. Submit WISH.DOC.
-
- 1) Dot matrix printer plots. This can be done at present with DOS 2.0 print
- screen, lots of redraws, and lots of Scotch tape. We plan an automatic
- process.
-
- 2) Dual display on the EGA. There are two ways we might use the extended
- memory of the EGA. One would be to give two graphics displays and a quick
- switch between them. The other would be to put up some of the Setups on pages
- so that they could be more conveniently edited.
-
- 3) Better setup editing. Present scheme is awful.
-
- 4) Mouse input.
-
- 5) Printed manual.
-
- 6) Move Lines, Pads, and Symbols.
-
- 7) Make (an area) a Symbol.
-
- 8) Copy Lines, Pads, and Symbols.
-
- 9) Insert points in lines.
