PLT: v1.3a release notes.  December 9,1989.

Bug Fixes:

   - The text size commands SI and SR didn't work properly when the scaling
     mode was acitve (the SC command).  Not only that, but it the text size
     was specified when scaling was off, it changed when scaling was on.
   
   - The pen moved when scaling was switched on or off, and when the scale
     was changed.

New Features:

   - The arc and circle commands, AA, AR, and CI were added.  These were
     added to provide compatibility with PRONET, at the request of a user.
   
   - The handler size has been reduced by 20%.  The handler interface needed
     to be compiled with Manx's large code and large data options (Why?, I
     don't know.), and since the Manx manual was too criptic on how to 
     combine memory models, I just compiled everything with the large memory
     models.  Well, I finally decided to experiment, and now only the handler
     interface is compiled with the large models.

PLT: v1.3 release notes.  November 16, 1989.

New Features:
   
-  Variable page sizes are now allowed.  PLT: regonizes standard page sizes
   A - E, as well as page sizes specified by the limits fields on the 
   Graphics 2 screen of Preferences.

-  Fonts are now disk resident.  This allows multiple fonts to be used durring
   a plot and also allow the user to create or modify fonts.

-  PLT: defaults in the memory-squander mode but will now automaticly switch
   to the memory conserve mode when available memory falls below 2K.  When
   the memory mode is switched, the tree used in the memory-squander mode is
   removed, freeing up space for more lines.

Bug Fixes:

-  The line types are now correctly implemented.

-  PLT: now places a dot when the pen is lowered and then raised with moving.

-  PLT: now correctly reads floating point numbers.

-  I think there were a few other bugs that were fixed, but I didn't write 
   them down, and I've forgotten what they were.
