1. CREATE.LIT 1.0(101) now supports full filespecs, e.g.:
.CREATE DSKN:XXX.YYY[100,200],25
Previously it could only handle the XXX.YYY part, although it may not have given any feedback to indicate that it failed either.
2. (WINDOWS) The CPP (Columns Per Page) parameter has been enhanced to accept "AUTO" in place of either of the two arguments. To review, this only makes sense when PITCH=AUTO, in which case CPP specifies one or two target widths which are used to select an appropriate font. The following examples should make this clear:
CPP=80
This is actually the default, and indicates that as long as none of the first 15 lines of the printfile are longer than 80 columns, we will select an 80 column font. If any of the first 15 lines are longer than 80 columns, then we will switch to a font suitable for 132 columns. (Note that prior to this release, we only checked the first 10 lines.)
CPP=80,150
Same idea as above, except that if any of the first 15 lines exceeds 80 columns, we will switch to a font suitable for 150 columns across the page.
CPP=AUTO
This will select a font that is suitable for the number of columns in the longest of the first 15 lines of the report. If, for example, the longest of those lines is only, say, 10 columns, then you will get a very wide font. Since AUTO adjusts to any number of columns, there is no point to specifying a second parameter if the first is AUTO.
CPP=90,AUTO
This will select a 90-column font as long as none of the first 15 lines are more than 90 columns long. Otherwise, it will select a font appropriate for the longest of the first 15 lines.
