[comp.sys.apollo] GPR_$CLEAR and GMF_$RESTORE_PLANE

ferguson@BKNLVMS.BITNET (01/08/88)

I used to have a program that would act as a slide show for GMF files. As
you know, XI -F and CPSCR make GMF files, not GPR bitmaps. At our update
to 9.5, the program would no longer work. It seems as  if GMF_$RESTORE_PLANE
only works before a GPR_$CLEAR call. If you call GPR_$CLEAR to put up a new
slide, you get a happy zero status, and no picture on the screen. I thought
that this was a 9.5 bug, so I waited. Now I'm at 9.7, and still no dice.
Has something changed that I should be aware of, or has something changed
that shouldn't have changed?


Thanks in advance,
