PLT: v1.3b release notes. Febuary 7, 1989.
This release contains only two bug fixes. One of the bugs was that if PLT:
couldn't find the file PLTDATA:pltfontnames, it would try to open a requestor,
but at that point, the intuition.library had not been opened.
The other "bug" was the way PLT: decided what the maximum page size was on
printers which use fan fold paper. The printer driver indicates that the page
size is 0 in that case. Since for several reasons, PLT: needs to know the
maximum page height, it assumed 10.5 inches. (10.5 instead of 11 to give a
quarter inch top and bottom margin.) European paper is appearently 12 inches
however, and this caused a problem. Also, this would have kept people with
wide carriage printers from printing page sizes greater than size A. PLT:
now looks for an enviroment variable "PltMaxPageHeight" containing a maximum
page height. If this environment variable doesn't exist, it assumes 10.5
inches.

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.
