PD3_users/PD3_4

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

%C%Major enhancements in PipeDream 4

PipeDream 4 is a fundamental revision of PipeDream 3 with changes in 
almost all areas.   Whilst the most striking areas of improvement are 
its stunning charts, the new spreadsheet power and the upgraded user 
interface, there are many detailed enhancements which are too numerous 
to mention here.  We would like to thank all PipeDream 3 users who 
contributed their ideas in our user surveys and other correspondence.  

Some of the more important new features are:

Charts








Spreadsheet



















Format block


Repeat command


Templates


Headers, footers

Transpose


Print in columns


Linked columns


@@N@@, @@L@@



%H2%User interface

Graphic borders


Auto-width



Line height


New mouse






Menus




Function keys






%H2%Other

Copy/move/delete









Paste


Window position

Seeing is believing!  PipeDream 4 introduces Penguin 
Graphics to the Archimedes in addition to the more 
usual Pie, Bar, Line and scatter charts.  All charts 
are completely dynamic and very fast.  You can 
include overlays with multiple scales.  Highly 
flexible chart editing for fine tuning, including 
adding and deleting data from chart.  One reaction 
was: "PipeDream 4's graphs blow your socks off."

PipeDream 4 is, by a wide margin, the finest 
spreadsheet package on the Archimedes.  In addition 
to 162 built-in functions (including full string, 
date, matrix and complex number functions), PipeDream 
4 provides custom functions for you to program your 
own function libraries, and arrays.  Arrays are 
groups of data within a slot enabling you to perform 
powerful operations very easily. (These are not to be 
confused with Schema's "arrays" which are merely 
ranges.)  PipeDream 4 continues the PipeDream 
tradition by being the fastest ever RISC OS 
spreadsheet whilst providing an even higher level of 
background recalculation.

Other new goodies are names to help define quantities 
like VAT, an optional formula window (which pops up 
only when you ask for it), and function and name 
pasting from the function menu, to reduce the need to 
look in the reference book.

Reformat a marked block.  Useful when changing fonts 
or margin settings.

Repeats the last command.  Gives quick keyboard 
operation for any command.

You can specify template files to help the creation 
of new documents. 

Headers and footers can be up to three lines long.

Swaps the rows and columns of a marked block across 
the leading diagonal.

Prints wide spreadsheets and databases one page width 
at a time.

Link the margins of several columns to give greater 
control when word processing.

@@N@@ gives the current time in 24 hour clock format, 
@@L@@ gives the leafname of the current document, for 
easy reference.



Column borders and margins can be dragged using the 
mouse for quick refitting of columns.

Tell PipeDream to Auto width for even quicker 
refitting of columns.  You'll wonder how you ever got 
by without this one.

The document now appears in the window in the line 
height to be used when printing.  Very nice.

Mouse operations have been simplified and brought 
closer to other RISC OS applications.  Always use the 
left button to click in slots and mark blocks.  
Always use the right button to adjust marked blocks.  
New Mark Block Box for instantaneous setting and 
clearing of blocks. 

Short menus are now configurable so you specify only 
those and all those commands you want.  Or you can 
set PipeDream up for someone else to use. 
Particularly useful in  a learning environment.

The function key layout is much simpler than before 
and F3 and F4 are now set to Save and Search.  For 
those whose fingers can't be retrained, a command 
file is provided to configure PipeDream 4 to the 
PipeDream 3 layout.  But learn the new one; it's much 
better.  Really!



These block operations have been reworked and are 
both more powerful and safe.  No more column sliding 
and you can safely move blocks left and right.  Copy 
and move overwrite the target area if it is blank.  
If not, they insert blank slots over the %H2%whole%H2% row 
and then overwrite.  Move and delete clear the block 
and only delete the slots if all slots to the left 
and right are blank, in which case it deletes the 
whole row.  Try it; you'll like it.

This isn't new but it's amazing how many people don't 
know about it.

The position of the caret in the window and the 
position of the window on the screen are remembered 
so you restart exactly where you left off.  This 
saves a lot of time.

The User Guide is no more.  In its place are the 
PipeDream 4 tutorial for new users and the PipeDream 
4 Reference Guide with its unique cross-referencing 
structure for advanced users.  The PipeDream 3 
documentation was highly praised; we believe this 
documentation is seriously better.
