New Submissions for V7.0 GRIPLIB
The following changes were implemented in Version 7.0 of the
GRIP International Library:
The FONT MANAGEMENT functions in UGRAF now recognize the .FNT extension.
As a result, all fonts can be named [name].FNT during the translation
and the two command files that rename the font files have been deleted.
The font FUTURA has been fixed so that the character "A" is spaced
correctly. This involved changing the spacing control parameters of
this font and will result in slightly greater width text.
The GRIP Compiler Helper was used on all GRIP source files in the
:MAIN, :SUBROUTINE and :LIBRARIAN directories. A second program used
the variable analysis output to re-build the declaration statements
of these programs. The result is that all un-used numeric variables
have been eliminated from the programs, and, more importantly, every
numeric variable used is declared. This will allow all these programs
to compile in future versions of GRIP without Reserved Word conflicts.
All files were renamed to a naming convention that will allow using
the Library in UGFM, AOS/VS Native Mode, and DEC/VMS Native Mode.
All program documentation was changed to reflect this change.
Unfortunately, UNIX file naming conventions are too restrictive to
be implemented at this time.
As a result of the Standards Change, the programs F-MOLD.GRS and
3-BOLT.GRS may not be functional. These items will be fixed, but
they may not be before the release of Version 7.0.
