AnalytiCalc release notes Version 22-3D, April 11, 1988 Several changes have been made to AnalytiCalc for this release. 1. The SCIFCT subroutine contains the "glue" necessary to have AnalytiCalc call UNMODIFIED Fortran callable routines from within spreadsheet formulae. The SCIFCT subroutine is contained in file AnalyTZ.Ftn. It must be edited to add the functions you want to call and to give some characteristics (number of arguments, which are outputs, data types, etc., plus names), and the program linked with the desired routines. Several examples are provided. Functions are called with syntax *U STfctnam inarg;inarg;inarg;inarg>outarg;outarg;outarg where inarg and outarg are single cells or ranges. They may be the same or different. The fctnam part of the call is the name YOU pick for the function. It's totally arbitrary apart from being limited to 6 characters. Output arguments don't HAVE to exist if they're inappropriate (as with plot functions). 2. Function keys still use command files, but these files can be either in area DK: (assigned before running) or in the default directory. If file AKA.CMD is not found in DK: or in the default directory, function keys will be ignored. 3. Attempts to read nonexistent files now just open a window to use instead. An endfile (control-\, at least for conman) signal will close them generally. 4. Inputs to the %prompt%cmd%key% construct used by function key command files (and others) now occur in the main window, not the lower auxiliary input window. This makes using them much less confusing. 5. AnalytiCalc continues to assume a 640 by 400 (or larger) screen since its auxiliary window is opened in the lower part of that space. It now prints a reminder of this at startup. It'll crash (possibly taking AmigaDos with it) if the workbench window isn't that big. Set up with Preferences (interlace ON) and reboot if necessary to get an interlace 640 by 400 screen. Morerows works fine with AnalytiCalc. Extra stack should be unnecessary. AnalytiCalc may work in 512K; a meg is certainly safe. AnalytiCalc is compiled with Absoft Fortran 2.3, and a notice to that effect appears at start also. Recompilation with earlier versions is not guaranteed. Use AmigaDos 1.2 (or later) for AnalytiCalc. And enjoy. Glenn Everhart 25 Sleigh Ride Rd. Glen Mills, PA 19342 author
