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. I think that is about all, good luck. R. Grandle Langley Research Center Hampton, Va.
