[comp.sys.apollo] Help with GMR under SR10

krowitz@RICHTER.MIT.EDU (David Krowitz) (06/16/89)

I have a bunch of applications running under SR9.7 which
use a locally written graphics library which I am trying
to port to SR10. The graphics library has been implemented
both in GPR and in 2D GMR. I have manage to port the GPR
version with only a few problems, but the GMR version 
contains a lot of text, line-style, and attribute block
stuff which was radically changed in the SR10 version of
GMR. The GMR manual I have says (in appendix B) that their
is a library of routines named "interlude" which I can
compile and bind to my applications so that they will 
still have access to the old-style GMR calls. Unfortunately,
the manual doesn't say *where* the file is located. I've
done a search for it using "/com/ld -a /install/.../inter?*"
and I haven't found it on my SR10.1 authorized area.
Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this file?

    Unfortunately, this is no longer supported under SR10.  Interlude
routines were provided in gmr2d v2.0 and v2.1. These releases were
pre-sr10.  Gmr2d v2.2 was the release to support sr10 and it does
not include the interlude routines.

    In gmr2d v2.0 and v2.1 the interlude routines can be found
in the /sys/gmr2d directory.  The documentation describing their
use is in the following locations:

  Version 2.0 release notes (009917-A00) on P4-6, section 4.4,
      interlude routines. 
  _Programming_with_Domain_2D_Graphics_Metafile_Resource_ (005097-A00),
      Appendix B
