Like the file systems for the1100 and 1132, the 1108 file system supports features like random access andversion numbers on files. In addition, the 1108 local file system supportshierarchical naming structures for files. For information on repartitioning the disk, see the Xerox 1108 Users Guide onusing the Installation Utility.<2>1108 two-button mouse: left-right chord acts like middle button.Most 1108's have a two-button mouse. In place of the middle button, it wasnecessary to use the "Center" function key above the main keyboard. In Carol,the middle mouse button can be simulated by "chording" the left and rightbuttons.Specifically, if Interlisp-D sees LEFT and RIGHT go down simultaneously, itconsiders that to be MIDDLE, rather than either LEFT or RIGHT. Middle isconsidered to be down until both LEFT and RIGHT come up.ЪНgОdУpТXqН;┬pНgОd*Ч/!FН;┬Оd*ЧCFН+0О)pН ?О^7ЧЄ█О]ъЧЄН!ГО[dsН ?ОY╪ЧЄОXИЧЄ█НgОUЎpТ─Н┴ОQБНфН┴ОNНфП?Н┴ОJ*НфН┴ОFNНфН┴ОBrНфП/Н┴О>√НфН┴О:╨НфН┴О6чНфН┴О3НфНфО/&ТиТйП<НфО,РТ╘Т╙П0НфО*ЎТ╩ Т╪П:НфО(┼ТТП$НфО&VТ─НфО"zТцП6ТдНфО FТ─Н┴ОjНфП@НфО▌ТоП*ТпНфОZТёТєП1НфО&ТЛП7ТМНфОРНфОТТП/НфОБТХП=ТИНфО ў Т─tpЪ>TVk(Ю XEROXThe Carol Release Notes2For more information, see the Xerox 1108 Users Guide.<3>New 1108 microcode.Small changes: The start-up procedure in the 1108 microcode has been alteredso that the 1108 screen stays blank until the Interlisp-D screen is displayed, ratherthan momentarily showing random "snow." Also, the MP display is now set to"1108" while Interlisp-D is running.The microcode includes fixes to a few obscure bugs that caused intermittentsystem failures. In addition, there have been some performance improvements.The speed of interpreted code has been increased by putting EVAL andSTKSCAN in microcode. The speed of some arithmetic operations has beenincreased by putting GREATERP and small negative arithmetic operations intomicrocode. The NIL cases of CAR and CDR are now taken care of in microcode.<4>New TEdit package.This release includes a much-improved version of the TEdit text editor.Innumerable mis-features have been fixed. Highlights:ЇTEdit no longer causes interrupt characters (control-D, control-E, etc.) to bedisabled outside of the TEdit process.ЇChanging the "Margin Bar" in one TEdit menu no longer changes themargin bars in other separate TEdit menus.ЇThe EXTENT window property is always set for TEdit windows so the scrollbar is never bought up blank (with no shaded region).ЇTEdit menu operations no longer prevent the user from using the mousewhile an operation is in progress.ЇTEdit does not reset the cursor shape during "Put," Get," etc. operations.ЇMultiple TEdit hardcopies can happen simultaneously.ЇClosing a TEdit window with the RIGHT-button menu will do a "Quit."ЇWhen Quitting from a TEdit window, when it asks if you really want to quit,you should respond with a mouse confirm (click LEFT for yes, RIGHT forno), rather than typing "YES" or "NO."ЪНgОdУpТXУqН;┬pНgОd*Ч/!FН;┬Оd*ЧCFН+0О)pНфО]ъТ─П2Н┴ОZНфНфОV'Т╒П(ТёНфОSСТ├П7Т┤НфОQ©ТЄТ╣П,НфОO▀Т─НфОK╞ТшП;ТэНфОI{ТЇ Т╦П=НфОGGТ#ПAНфОEТэП@НфОBъТсТтП*НфО@╚ Т─ПBН┴О<оНфНфО8СТGП;ТHНфО6© Т─П+НфО2ЦН╒Т▀ПCТ▄Н╒О0╞Т─НфО,сН╒ТГТХП5Н╒О*÷Т─П$НфО&цН╒Т≈П)Т≤Н╒О$▐Т─П2НфО ЁН╒ТаТбП;Н╒ОТ─НфОёН╒ПJНфОгН╒П4НфОКН╒ПCНфОН╒Т≈Т≤П)Н╒ОшТ╣ТІП'Н╒О їТ─П"TVk(У XEROXThe Carol Release Notes3ЇTEdit will ask for a confirmation before Quitting from a TEdit windowbrought up empty, into which the user has typed.ЇTEdit now uses the ATTACHEDWINDOW package to put a small promptwindow above every TEdit window. This window is used instead of the mainprompt window for printing prompts and all other interactions with the user.ЇApplying SETFILEPTR to a text stream displayed in a TEdit window does notmove the caret on the screen.ЇShrinking a TEdit window produces a distinctive icon.ЇTEdit is much more careful not to leave files open, such as "Include"edfiles.The TEdit extended menu is now a legitimate, supported part of TEdit. Asmentioned above, TEdit uses the latest version of the ATTACHEDWINDOWpackage, which must be loaded for TEdit to run. The TEdit code has beenbroken up into a number of parts. TEDIT.DCOM will now load the following files:ATTACHED WINDOW TEXTOFD TEDITHCPY TEDITFIND TEDITLOOKSTEDITMENU TFBRAVO TEDITABBREV IMAGEOBJ TEDITHISTORY TEDITSCREENTEDITFILE TEDITCOMMAND TEDITWINDOW TEDITSELECTIONThe TEdit documentation has also been revised. It now includes information onusing the TEdit Extended Menu.<5>New Lisp.run allows SYSIN from other partitions.The new version of Lisp.run allows 1100 and 1132 users to SYSIN from other diskpartitions. You can load a new sysout from another partition on the samemachine as well as from a PUP fileserver. The syntax is the same as from withinLisp., e.g., you can type to the Alto Executive:>Lisp {DSK5}FOO.SYSOUTor even>Lisp {DSK3}Lisp.virtualmemThe latter command effectively provides a checkpoint/restore capability by usingthe Lisp.virtualmem on a second partition as the checkpoint image. As withinLisp, the partition number requested must be less than or equal to 7.ЪНgОdУpТXУqН;┬pНgОd*Ч/!FН;┬Оd*ЧCFН+0О)pНфО]ъН╒ТШП3ТЭН╒О[╚Т─П)НфОWоН╒ТяП-ТрН╒ОU⌡Т┌П>Т┐Н╒ОSgТ─ПFНфОO▀Н╒Т│П1Т┌Н╒ОMWТ─НфОI{Н╒П5НфОE÷Н╒ТцТдП5Н╒ОCkНфО?▐ТКПBТЛНфО=[ТТП)НфО;'ТзП,ТшНфО8СТ─ПIНфО5ТТП'НфО2ЦТ┼П*Т▀НфО0╞Т─П(НфО,сТєП"Т╔П)НфО*÷Т─Н┴О&цНфП0НфО"ГТ┬Т┴П=НфО Ё ТОТПНфОТ▓Т⌠ПFНфОKТ─П*Н/ОoНфО⌠Н/ОЇНфОшТєПGТ╔НфО їТеПJНфОsТ─П@ЪРTVk(У XEROXThe Carol Release Notes4<6>New User PackagesЇGRAPHCALLS (C.
