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.
