- --- File for Version 2.5 Manual ---- Changes up to Version 3.0r of PCLO ---
- ***************************************************************************
-
- Changes to the contents of the diskette:
-
- Additions:
-
- (2.7r) - The "Changes" directory, and one file contained in this
- new directory; "Updates". This will be a permanent file
- that gets updated with each revision to the system. An
- "Empty" directory or drawer has been added as well.
-
- (2.7r) - The "HoleCount" tool, in the main PCLO drawer, as well
- as the source, and the compile and link scripts for it
- in the "PlotSource" directory.
-
- Deletions:
-
- (2.7r) - The "Info" tool from the main PCLO drawer. This file was
- a condensed user's manual. It has been removed to create
- more room for other features. All of the information has
- been incorporated in the formal manual for your use.
-
- Errata for the manual:
-
- Additions:
- Page --4--, para 2, statement three drawers changed to
- five drawers, 4th drawer is "Changes" drawer, 5th is
- the "PlotSource" drawer.
-
- Page --4--, para 2, add mention of "HoleCount" tool.
-
- Page --7--, para 1, indicate "Changes" directory may
- be deleted along with it's contents, and that the
- "HoleCount" tool may be deleted as well.
-
- Page --8--, para 4, indicate that the 1.2 release of
- AmigaDos pops the workbench screen to the front when
- a requester is rendered into it, so this will not be
- a problem any longer.
-
- Page --17--, between 'N' and 'P', add 'O', which is
- the keystroke that activates the 'O'pposite vector
- option on the last completed route. See changes to
- program under 'O'.
-
- Page --23--, under Key Definitions; the '2' key was
- "blotched" when the manual was printed; the shape
- for the '2' key is two diagonal lines from the top
- left to the bottom right.
-
- Page --30--, under Operate/DePlane, see changes to
- program under Copy, move, and delete.
-
- Page --31--, under Operate/Move and Operate/Copy, see
- changes to program under Copy, Move, and Delete. Add
- Item describing the "Toss" operation, see changes to
- program under "Toss".
-
- Page --34--, para 1, indicate that interupt driven
- workahead operations may locate incorrectly if the
- workspace window is changed while the system is busy.
-
- Page --43--, para 3, add mention of Changes drawer, and
- make "three drawers" into "five drawers". Para 5, indicate
- that there will be a delay while PCLO loads the board
- BEFORE it is ready for input from the operator. Add mention
- of "PlotSource" drawer.
-
- Deletions:
- Page --4--, para 2, statement about "info" tool to be
- removed.
-
- Page --7--, para 1, statement about "info" tool to be
- removed.
-
- Page --43--, para 3, statement about "info" tool to be
- removed.
-
-
- Changes to the program:
-
- Features added:
-
- (2.6r) - All three of the Copy, Move, and Delete operations now can
- operate on either all layers, as in previous revisions, or
- only on the currently selected layer. Which type of these
- operations is selected by a submenu attached to the actual
- menu selection for the associated operation.
-
- (2.7r) - When the board is saved, the teleport memory contents are
- saved also, attached to the "layer1" record. These will be
- recovered when the board is loaded, allowing the operator
- to return to any location that was saved in any of the ten
- teleport memories previous to actually storing the board.
-
- (2.7r) - The "Toss" operation has been added. This allows you to
- flip the entire workspace horizontally or vertically. It
- is provided to allow a convenient way of orienting the
- workspace identically to a physical board for verification
- and entry of pre-existing physical features.
-
- (2.9r) - The 'O'pposite function has been added. This function will
- take the last trace routed and re-route it as if you had
- specified the endpoints in reverse order. This function is
- provided as a convenience, as the same effect can be had
- by deleteing the previous trace, and re-routing with the
- endpoint specification in the opposite order (hence the
- name). Executing the 'O' operation twice will return the
- trace to it's original state.
-
- Features removed:
-
- None.
-
- Problems Fixed:
-
- (2.6r) - Versions 2.5r and previous were supposed to create Icons
- for parts saved in the PartsLib drawer. This didn't always
- function correctly -- It is now fixed.
-
- (2.8r) - Versions 2.7r and previous were unable to fully pan right
- or down in magnify mode, by one screen width. Now fixed.
-
- (3.0r) - Version 2.9r had a bug in the 'z' ContinueRoute function
- that caused it to fail to operate at all.
- This has been fixed for version 3.0r and succeeding versions.
