Imported by QUARTEX in 1989! *************************************************************************** - Update document -- Changes, Deletions, and additions to the PCLO Manual - *************************************************************************** --- File for Version 2.5 Manual ---- Changes up to Version 3.05 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. (3.05) - Version 3.0r was not really upgrate with the new printer option which might be fixed and installed here new.If you got the new printer.device for Kickstart V1.3 just save it on a backup of this system disk.
