README.md
This uic contains the necessary software to produce calligraphy
characters from the Hershey character set on a PDP 11 under
RSX11M version 3.2. The system must have the following
features aviable:
FPP unit
READ WITH PROMPT
SEND, RECIEVE DIRECTIVE
This package is designed to go to TEKTRONICS 4014,4010,4025,4662
plotting devices, how ever if you feel so inclined you can
modify the subroutine ABSPLT.MAC and TOUTPT for almost
and vector capable device. Thou I can't tell you how well it will
work.
Most of the software is documented by comments, as you
can see I don't type too, well. Spelling isn't great either.
Now about what is here, at the begining of the uic
are a bunch of files with the ext of MIS,MSG,PLT,TVG,UTL
. These are help files for most of the software, read them
and decide if you want this package. The fortran routines
should run under non F4P compiler, but we haven't try them
since the last changes were made. So if you don't have F4P
good luck. In this package are seven things.
1). a plot package for graphs for 4014
2). a calligraphy program HCS
3). a view graph maker (TVG) which uses the plot and calligraphy
programs
4). a program (HCG) to make your own calligraphy characters
and include them in the data base if you
have a TEKTRONICS graphic tablet
5). a program (OUT) to outline the help file and produce
a readable output on line printer( uses RNO)
6). a program (CA.FTN) patterned after CA program in SEPT
decus rsx sig notes to reduce pool usage
7). mis garbage, i made this tape late sunday evening
was too tired to elimate it.
To build the plot package and calligraphy set run @plot
If everthing goes ok will produce obj files these can
be installed in SYSLIB with command file LBR.CMD. If you
would rather have seperate lib use LBR as guide to build it.
