UPDATE - WILL LIST CHANGES TO DROEGE
15 October 1986
Fixed labels to remember their rotations and scale. Mirror still can be used
only once. Fixed hang which caused subsequent entries to be arcs after leaving
arc mode. Fixed plot arc and offset scaling. First setup now shows correctly.
With additions and revisions to documentation we will release as "free" version
1.81. Good luck to our users.
28 September 1986
Fixed bug which prevented last symbol opened from being drawn. Fixed bug which
prevented find of a line in a newly created symbol.
25 September 1986
Changed aperture list. Cleaned up and spell checked documentation for release
as "free" version 1.8.
15 August 1986
Changed arrays so that larger storage is possible with Quick Basic. Encrypted
heading and user ID. Changed format of sign on to hold until any key is hit.
3 August 1986
Changed some key labels to allow consistant documentation.
30 July 1986
Changed the FRE reading on the KP3 flags dump to the -1 option which does
garbage collection and lists all available memory.
Changed hash table search algorithm. Now we hope no longer to get a hash table
full error when there is still room. Someday we should analyze this more
carefully.
27 July 1986
Fixed crash caused by deletion of everything from a symbol.
Fixed stitch table entry for a via so it now finds the right name for the via
symbol.
Changed name of PUT and GET key to PUTFIL and GETFIL.
20 July 1986
Fixed, we hope, so that symbols rotate when you want them to.
Fix to line end. Bug caused the last line point to be deleted when a line was
ended at the same location as the last position entry.
Added STITCH as an alternative line entry mode. Stitch is an alternative to
the LOCLIN key. It provides two additional menues. The first level menu is
blank except for key 5 (STSET) Stitch Set. Pressing key 5 gets a second menu
which allows selecting 4 preset setups for keys 1-4. Key 5 on the second menu
allows assigning a symbol (VIASYM) to a VIA. After backing out of the second
menu, lines can be entered in the usual way from the first menu. Pressing one
of the keys 1-4 changes the setup to the preselected one. This is a fast way
to switch between setups in line entry mode. In additon, if a key is pressed
that changes the setup while a line is open (started but not ended), the VIA
symbol is inserted and the line can be continued with the new setup.
This allows a line to be started and shifted from level to level with
automatic insertion of VIA's.
17 July 1986
Added NOLAB/SHOLAB key. This key is on the menu with DR@W/DR@L key. NOLAB
causes redraw to skip all labels (including symbol labels). Initial position
is the SHOLAB position which shows labels. Note that even entry of a new label
is skipped in the NOLAB position.
Fixed problem which caused objects to be drawn at incorrect width on opening a
symbol. Tall skinny objects had their lines and pads drawn too large.
16 July 1986
Added new keys in the load menu to list symbols in three catagories instead of
the old single symbol list. Separate listings can now be had for symbols,
labels, and the keyboard symbols. This saves having to wait for the same old
keyboard listing each time the symbols are listed.
Changed the format of the symbol listing available from the OPRSYM key. The
list now includes the symbol name, number, hash, times used on the first nest
level, times used on the second nest level, and times used at levels greater
than two. This is to aid in editing a symbol composed of many layers of nested
symbols so the desired sub symbol can be located.
Fixed problem which caused linked list to become disconnected when a point was
deleated at the end of the last line entered.
Fixed problem which prevented the last symbol created from being found.
Fixed problem which caused bomb on entry of a single character label.
Changed format of KP9 listing so that symbols are no longer expanded. Last
version also had bug which ended listing after first symbol.
Added fast slow key. KP5 now increases speed by X10. Caps lock must be on and
Num lock and Scroll lock must be off for this to work. Old KP5 function (list
the flags) is now performed by KP3. For KP1,KP7, KP9, and KP3 to work for
their diagnostic functions Caps lock must be on, Num lock must be on, and
Scroll lock off.
