- Gardens Point Modula - IBM PC & compatibles version of 15 July 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- The PC version of the Gardens Point Modula compiler (gpm) is comprised of the
- following files.
- Copy the following files to your floppy disk:
- GPMPCxxx.zip <- main distribution file
- install.com <- installation program files
- ~~~~~.com
- ~~~~.com
- ~~~.com
- unzip.exe <- unarchiving utility
- Running install from the floppy disk will install GPM onto your hard disk.
- Install will create a sub directory on the hard disk nominated and copy the
- relevant files. Install will also update your autoexec.bat file to include
- some environment variables used by GPM.
- This package uses the MS-DOS editor EDIT as the default editor. NOTE: This
- editor comes standard with all versions of DOS from 5.0 onwards. To use other
- editors (PC-Write, QEdit) see either the notes in the file README.TOO or
- consult the GPM documentation.
- Please report bugs via the GPM bug report forms (available from the labs)
- or mail.
- sinfield@fit.qut.edu.au
- or hynd@fit.qut.edu.au
- Changes since version of September 94
- -------------------------------------
- 1) Full implementation of ISO Input/Output procedures.
- (See separate documents - usingiso.stu <- introduction to using ISO I/O
- wirthiso <- converting InOut etc. to ISO)
- 2) Implementation of some basic cursor manipulations (Use in conjunction with
- ANSISYS) - allows cursor to be hidden and restored, resized and gets the
- screen current attributes at the cursor.
- Changes since version of June 95
- ---------------------------------
- 1) A number of inconsistent results have been fixed in RealIO
- 2) The utility module DebugWrite has been added to the distribution - See
- the .def file for details.
- Changes since version of July 95
- ---------------------------------
- 1) A minor bug fix in the run time system.
- 2) Fixed a bug in ProgArgs, which sometimes truncated user's arguments
- 3) Separation of the graphics libraries from the normal distribution.
- When the graphics libraries were produced in late 1992, attempts were made
- to try and include data about as many known SVGA video cards as possible.
- Since then a lot more cards (VESA etc) have become available, with differing
- setups and initialisations. The SVGA autodetect facility can't always
- correctly set up the card if it is not known to to the libraries. Hence
- some users have experienced problems. Beginning with this distribution,
- the graphics libraries will be packaged as a VGA and SVGA version
- (gr_svga.zip and gr_vga.zip). The contents of these two zips are the
- necessary files in m2sym and m2lib directories. Just uncompress the version
- require using => unzip gr_svga
- or unzip gr_vga.
- Changes since version of August 95
- ----------------------------------
- 1) An error in compiling the ISO libraries could lead to a linker failure,
- with an apparent double inclusion of StdDevice.
- Changes since version of November 95
- ------------------------------------
- 1) An minor bug fix to StdStrings
- 2) Fix to a build problem (inconsistent keys) with the graphics support
- libraries. PLEASE NOTE : The graphics libraries come in an SVGA and VGA
- versions (see above). As the .def and .syx files are identical for both
- they are now include in ..\m2sym. In ..\m2lib are two directories ..\vga
- and ..\svga. Copy the files from the sub-directory for the adapter you want.
