Annotation of 43BSDTahoe/new/dipress/CHANGES, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: RELEASE 2.1
        !             2: 
        !             3: [conf/troff]
        !             4: changed around the configuration files so that all the characters of
        !             5: TroffClassic can be accessed.  A bug crept in between 1.3 and 2.0 that
        !             6: suddenly made many special characters unavailable.
        !             7: 
        !             8: [conf/generic]
        !             9: created.
        !            10: 
        !            11: [dipress]
        !            12: Added a new feature where the model of Interpress printer can be named on
        !            13: the call line.  This will cause the Interpress that is generated to be
        !            14: more suitable for that device than would otherwise be generated.  Added
        !            15: support for SequenceInsertFile of Interpress and RES files.  Large bitmaps
        !            16: are now striped for devices like the 8044.
        !            17: 
        !            18: [include/ipnames.h]
        !            19: Upgraded to Interpress 3.0
        !            20: 
        !            21: [include/iptokens.h]
        !            22: Upgraded to Interpress 3.0
        !            23: 
        !            24: [include/literal.h]
        !            25: Put in warning about the dangers of using the Op() macro.  Tried
        !            26: remove it from existing code.  (suggested by: jqj@cornell)
        !            27: 
        !            28: [ipfe]
        !            29: new: Interpress file editor - munges pages in a Interpress file.
        !            30: 
        !            31: [ipmetrics]
        !            32: Straightened out a bug which meant that multiple metrics masters would
        !            33: not get executed.  Re-organized so that it is easier to add new composition
        !            34: systems.  Added a "generic" composition system  as a catch-all.
        !            35: 
        !            36: [iptotext]
        !            37: Changed the output for sequencePackedPixels to print the header info.
        !            38: 
        !            39: [makefile-s]
        !            40: Cleaned up some of the makefiles.  Primative rdist facility for binaries
        !            41: added.
        !            42: 
        !            43: [maha]
        !            44: Reset line to left margin when encountering a carriage return in file.
        !            45: Added a bunch of suggestions from Larry Parmalee at Cornell Univ.
        !            46: 
        !            47: [makextdev]
        !            48: Removed debugging messages.
        !            49: 
        !            50: [mp2res]
        !            51: new: MacPaint to RES converter.
        !            52: 
        !            53: [plot2ip]
        !            54: new: unix "plot" format files to Interpress.
        !            55: 
        !            56: [texttoip]
        !            57: fixed a bug where this routine didn't handle strings with escaped
        !            58: digits to represent non-printing characters.
        !            59: 
        !            60: 
        !            61: RELEASE 2.0  -- this release was submitted for 4.3 BSD
        !            62: 
        !            63: [-everything-]
        !            64: linted for non-portable constructs.  This has caused many of the library
        !            65: functions to take longs as arguments rather than int's as in the old days.
        !            66: This package has been tested on a Sun.  That should shake out most of the
        !            67: byte swap problems.  The only things that still bomb on lint are: stackres,
        !            68: restotext and ipmetrics.  Ipmetrics does seem to work on a Sun and Vax though.
        !            69: 
        !            70: [include]
        !            71: iptokens.h incorrectly called maskunderline makeunderline
        !            72: 
        !            73: [ipf]
        !            74: New: counts pages in a way that should be compatible with the Berkeley spooler.
        !            75: 
        !            76: [ipmetrics]
        !            77: New conf.troff and conf.tex directories
        !            78: have been added for creating metrics files for each of these composition
        !            79: systems.  Since Berkeley hasn't finished the TeX to Interpress converter
        !            80: yet, we haven't been able to test the output on that system.  In particular,
        !            81: how on specifies characters not in character set zero remains a mystery.
        !            82: A man page was also written for this utility.
        !            83: 
        !            84: [libip]
        !            85: As mentioned above, these routines are now linted.  There is a lint
        !            86: library ./lib/llib-lip.ln that gives programmers the ability to lint
        !            87: code that uses the library.  Many routines take long's as arguments
        !            88: instead of int's.
        !            89: 
        !            90: [qip]
        !            91: We use a program called "qip" that hooks into BRL's MDQS system.  Since
        !            92: most places don't have this system, we provide a shell script that
        !            93: can be modified for local conditions.  Look at the script to see
        !            94: how to use it.
        !            95: 
        !            96: [restotext]
        !            97: Contributed by Keith Knox.  Converts and RES file to text form.
        !            98: 
        !            99: [stackres]
        !           100: Contributed by Keith Knox.  Executes and RES file and prints out what's
        !           101: on the stack.
        !           102: 
        !           103: [texttoip]
        !           104: Bug fix: truncate output file on open.  Made it use the same include
        !           105: files as everybody else.
        !           106: 
        !           107: RELEASE 1.3  -- this release was submitted for 4.3 beta BSD
        !           108: 
        !           109: [dipress]
        !           110: Modify bitmap.c to output scan lines in multiple of 32 bits for compatibility
        !           111: with new Xerox print services.  Bell code removed!!!
        !           112: 
        !           113: [doc]
        !           114: Typo on page 17 in char-chart.me ( \(-| right perpindicular).  Added diff
        !           115: for eqn/sqrt.c to get better looking square roots.
        !           116: 
        !           117: [iptroff]
        !           118: Added the -q (quiet) option to not print information on the passes out.
        !           119: This is handy when running programs in the background.  It is assumed
        !           120: with the -t option.
        !           121: 
        !           122: [makefiles]
        !           123: Changed all the makefiles to pass around destinations for the install commmand.
        !           124: Also changed the destination directories to match 4.3 contributed software
        !           125: conventions.
        !           126: 
        !           127: RELEASE 1.2

        !           133: [dipress]
        !           134: Extended available fonts to include many new characters.

        !           145: Add -d option to force dump of pixel arrays (default now is to not dump them)
        !           146: Add conditional compilation for VMS VAX-11 C
        !           147: Fix bug that caused non-printable characters to print as ascii (stripped high
        !           148: order bit during isprint check)

        !           163: Formerly, they were in base ten (10).  This (non-upwardly compatible) change
        !           164: was made because character-sets are almost always refered to in base 8
        !           165: by the XNS Architecture documentation.
        !           166:
