lambda removed, lambda field included into the technology. This will allow increasing lambda if it proves necessary for second sourcing.

ObjectClass.reservedForCDEnvironment removed. The module was CDEnvironment was removed earlier.

InterestSize new proc. Vanilla procedure, but used fairly often.

ContextFilter simpler (saves memory)

DrawInformation

Properties renamed to PropList (resolves name conflict with new module Properties)

size is interest rect size. Designers creating designs by program will be thankful.

Allows specifying of context filters. Good for ChipNSil.

CDDefaultProcsExtras merged in.

replaces CDDraw; is simpler (and [not measurable] faster)

ToLambda has lambda parameter.

SelectedBox new procedure.

All names and comments beautyfied

Load now has a design-name (previous: design) Not giving the user access to the cached design allows to share it with CDRemote.

CreateImport if necessary loads the design first... If all you want are the defaults, CreateImport the only procedure of this module you need.

UseWorkingDirectory removed; Cedar does not allow this without dirty trick

ReadDesign has new working directory parameter

New module; all silly simple procedures; but they were coded inline in zillion places before

new module; replaces CDDefaults and CDDefaultsExtras. May now be used by arbitrary clients without invalidating the control panel.

comments made understandable

new procedure ImplementMenuEntryCommand for conveniance

removed; replace it with CDProperties. This module was not used so often that it could not as well be implemented using properties.

Get rid of forgotten 45...

setting and querrying the default layer is removed; use CDLayers directly

panel get the changes if other source cause a change in default layer width

lambda from technology

PropRef: TYPE = REF Properties; --must never be NIL;

Properties: use module Properties instead of Atom; uses substantially less memory and is a little bit faster, at cost of more expensive enumeration of properties.

Properties MUST NOT be enumerated without CDProperties's monitor lock. If you want to enumerate properties in a vanilla program, make a copy first and enumerate the copy. (Otherwise a GetProp from a concurrent process fools your enumeration; [ChipNDale actually doesn't care])

Properties can not contain objects which contain Properties. Would wedge when written to files.

replaces CDGenerateRemote; easier to use

comments removed, (I didn't remember if they were correct or wrong)

MakeFont is only procedure to create a font

usefull stuff for client generation of chipndale objects; replaces old modules CDSimpleCells and CDSimpleCells2 (without changes)

new procedure StoreConditional. This allows implementation of arbitrary initializations in an atomic way without introducing monitors. This is specially useful for programs which are already monitored, recursiv monitor entry for initialization will not wedge.

Registration has new registrationKey parameter (like CDProperties always had)

size is interest rect size

Beautified; The definition module now documents legal conditions to call procedures

Enumerations have split into two procedures with less parameters each.

ChangeTile no more inline, but works for every tile.

WriteF, WriteF1, WriteRopes, TOS new procedures

time outs for RequestSelection and Confirm

Confirm replaces UserSaysYes

TerminalIOExtras: RequestRope with timeout. This procedure has been introduced into an "Extras" module, because the correctness of its implementation depends on assumptions which have been checked by experiments.

Font substitution for all scales; different format of font substitution file. Thanks to Don.

Supports c150.

Special colors for ChipNSil-stick diagrams on c150

Supports c400.

All the coordinate transform between design and device is rewritten. Removed some rounding errors.

Hack to make a flat cell with labels matching all texts in tioga fonts. Handy for plotting.

for the dragon project

Large contacts, vias (space key).

3 lambda diffusion over gate.

With conversion program from cmos-A

funny comment layer
