- MacOberon Version 1.21 Release Notes
- In Release 1.21, TextFrames no longer display a fixed line grid, but line
- heights are adjusted automatically to accomodate the largest characters
- displayed in that line. The object file "DisplayCache.ObM" is required for
- using the new TextFrames module.
- The Macintosh file system does not distinguish between upper-case and
- lower-case characters. Module Files has been changed to ignore the case
- of file names, so that the same file pointer will be returned when Files.Old
- is called twice with two file names that differ only in the case of characters.
- The title bars of viewers are editable. The command Edit.Store, when
- activated from the menu bar, will open a reader to the beginning of the
- menu frame and take the file name parameter from there. Consequently, it
- is possible to save a copy of a file under a different name by simply editing
- the file name in the title bar. Commands acting on the contents of a viewer
- may also simply be added. Placing the caret in the menu bar takes some
- time getting used to, but will work smoothly once you get the hang of it.
- A Browser is present, which will automatically create a Definition Module
- and list base-type relationships. The Oberon Browser exports the following
- commands:
- Browser.ShowDef (modulename | selection)
- Browser.ShowObj (qualident | selection)
- Browser.ShowTree {modulename} ~
- ShowDef generates a Definition Module.
- Example:
- Browser.ShowDef MenuViewers
- Browser.ShowDef MenuViewers/x (Expand Inherited)
- Browser.ShowDef MenuViewers/X (Adress/EntryNo)
- ShowObj shows the definition of an exported object.
- Example:
- Browser.ShowObj MenuViewers.Viewer
- Browser.ShowObj MenuViewers.Viewer/x (Expand)
- ShowTree shows the hierarchy of exported record types and classes.
- Example:
- Browser.ShowTree MenuViewers ~
- The Browser extracts all of the required information from symbol files.
- Use Edit.Print to create a PostScript file, which may be downloaded onto
- any compatible printer.
- Edit.Print outputfile *
- Edit.Print outputfile inputfile1 inputfile2 ... inputfileN ~
- The file Oberon.Header.ps contains macro declarations necessary for printing
- the output generated and must be sent to the printer before the actual
- print data is sent. Font substitution instructions for translating between
- Oberon and PostScript fonts are defined in this file and may be changed freely.
