Release notes for MECCA 2000 version 4.13.  Feb/20/2008


Fixed:

1. typdrv had a problem in referencing memory that has already been freed
   (returned to the system), hence it can crash when generating multi-page
   outputs (typdrv).

2. PostScript procedure that performs "end-adjusting" may sometimes leave
   extra tokens on the stack (depending on the line pattern), causing RIP
   run-time error (PSlinstyl.ps).

3. Corrected a problem when other mark-up commands (such as Figure) are
   used between MFORM commands that use "Flash", which the level-3 converter
   utility, ps3form, did not expect to encouter, and consequently dropped
   all such items between the MFORM commands (typdrv, ps3form).

4. Corrected a potential data buffer overflow for MFORM command processor
   (galeyc).


Changed/New:

1. In merge-form FP file, font H/V size values are now marked with 3 decimal
   places, even though they are still in units of tops -- tenth of points
   (galeyc, frmpos).

   Also, if frmpos sees a drawing file as saved by MECCA 2000, it will copy
   the drawing dimensions as-is to the FP file.  This is because the
   dimensions saved by MECCA 2000 includes line weights and bottom text line
   descenders, as well as reduced limits reflected by any clipping mask.

   Customers who depend on the old behavior should update their practice
   (i.e., discontinue compensating for excluded line weight).

2. Tcl/Tk 8.4 started to distinguish disabled and readonly states for
   some widgets, hence entry/text boxes in some MECCA scripts had to be
   modified accordingly (compose.tcl, compose2.tcl, fontchart.tcl,
   grid.tcl, ispell.tcl, m2kprocs.tcl, parts.tcl, popups.tcl, print.tcl,
   raster_trace.tcl, m2k).
