- LAYOUT 1.2 CONVERSION PROGRAM:
-
- This disk contains two files:
-
- 12TO20.EXE - The program for converting Layout 1.2 files into the
- 2.0 format.
-
- FLOW12.EXE - Program for reading and altering converted flowcharts.
-
- BBX_12.BBX - BlackBox substituted for 1.2 BlackBoxes in converted
- flowcharts. This performs no action.
-
-
- The programs can be copied into a separate folder/directory or installed
- as tools. The FLOW12.EXE file can be used as a separate program or
- renamed to FLOWCHRT.EXE and copied into the C:\LAYOUT\TOOLS folder. It is
- identical to FLOWCHRT.EXE except that it also has the ability to handle
- flowcharts that have been converted.
-
- NOTE: Converted flowcharts may not be completely compatible with Layout
- 2.0. This due to the fact that some 1.2 flowchart elements
- are no longer supported or have been changed so that they
- could not be converted directly.
-
-
-
- ELEMENTS THAT ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED:
-
- 1) Let User Select Object
- 2) Display Button
- 3) Let User Enter Text
- 4) Get Check Value
- 5) Set Check Value
-
- The conversion program will convert these elements, but the
- FLOWCHRT.EXE that is supplied with Layout 2.0 will not recognize
- them. Use the FLOW12.EXE to load the flowchart. The elements that
- are not converted will have a "VERSION 1.2" icon, and will have to
- be converted manually.
-
-
-
- ELEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN CHANGED:
-
- 1) Let User Fill a Card
- 2) Enter Menu
-
- These elements, which returned a number in 1.2, now return an
- object. Edit the flowchart using FLOW12.EXE to take this into
- account.
-
- 3) Go to a Card
-
- This element, which returned a number with decimal places in
- Version 1.2, now returns a variable between -2 billion an +2
- billion called "Position in Cardfile." Edit the flowchart using
- FLOW12.EXE to correct this.
-
-
- 1.2 BLACKBOXES:
-
- BlackBoxes in 1.2 were all converted to the BlackBox supplied
- on this disk: "VERSION 1.2 BLACKBOX". The comment contained within
- this BlackBox is the name of the original 1.2 BlackBox used. These
- will also need to be replaced with corresponding 2.0 versions, as
- they will perform no action until replaced.
