[comp.sys.apollo] GMR refresh procedures

ferguson@BKNLVMS.BITNET (06/01/88)

I believe that in some cases, you can have the GMR library automatically
refreshing in that particular situation just by using the
GM_$VIEWPORT_SET_REFRESH_STATE call. I've used the refresh entry procedures,
but I haven't always needed one.


On another note, I've heard rumors that GMR 2D is becoming an optional
product. I've never particularly paid maintenance on GMR since it
was maintained as part of the operating system.

If it's optional, than public domain programs using GMR can't be
recompiled at sites who didn't buy GMR.  Is this Apollo's idea
of customer service? Get us all going with a nice product, and then
charge us big bucks for the version that works in SR10 (Domain/OS)?
