Glossary Allegro CL 3.0 for Windows printed documentation in PDF format All the printed documentation for Allegro CL 3.0 for Windows is available in this pdf file and is readable with an Adobe Acrobat Reader. Please Note: • There are links in each Table of Contents page. Clicking on a chapter or section (but not heading) title causes a jump to the associated page. • There are no links in any index in this edition. • Many pictures do not appear. An apparent incompatibility in the picture format results in their not appearing in the PDF file (you see blank space instead) • If you choose ‘Bookmarks and Page’ from the View menu, you will see bookmarks for each chapter of each manual. Clicking on a bookmark will cause the associated page to be displayed (usually, the first page of the chapter). • The pagination (<chapter>-<number>) used in the printed documents does not correspond to the pagination used in the pdf file (where all pages are numbered in order from the beginning). To find a page listed PT-2-2, go to the beginning of Chapter 2 in the Programming Tools manual (using the Acrobat Bookmarks). Go to page 2 of that chapter.
