of values receives it's own shading pattern.
: Line - Each value is represented by a large shaded point. Lines
connect each set of values. Points are shaded to show
group.
: Pie - One set of values is represented as a circle, with each
individual value presented as a shaded wedge.
: Point - Each value is represented as a large point. Each set of
values receives it's own shading pattern.
: Scatter Point - Each value is represented as a large point. Each set of
values receives it's own shading pattern. Labels are
removed to permit precise determination of X and Y
coordinates.
: Scatter Line - Similar to Scatter Point, but with lines connecting the
points of each set of values.
: Unibar - One set of values is represented as a large bar, with
each individual value presented as a shaded rectangle.
A sort of rectangular pie chart.
Text may be edited from within geoChart. Patterns may be assigned to
different values. The background grid may be varied. A wide variety of chart
display options are provided. A variety of number formats are supported,
including dollar amounts and leading-zero suppression.
The charts may be printed to any supported GEOS printer, or may copied to a
photo scrap for import into other GEOS applications. Printed geoCharts take up
about 1/8th page. Photo scraps may be copied in three different sizes, due to
limitations in the size that certain applications will accept. Supported sizes
are for geoWrite, geoPaint, and a full-screen size, which is acceptable to
geoPublish. The geoWrite and geoPaint sizes are achieved by reducing the size
of all elements, rather than by reproducing only a portion of the chart. The
geoPaint and geoWrite scraps are displayed when created.
Problems:
No problems were encountered during my "first look". It would be
surprising if the first release of any program of this complexity were truly
bug-free, and I have no doubt that some problems will surface, but this seems
to be quite a solid program.
Quibbles:
It seems cruel to criticize this package for this when it supports so many
different kinds of charts, but an `exploded' option for the pie charts would
have been a nice touch.
While not as complex as geoPublish, a geoChart file can have an awful lot
of graphic elements. These are redrawn during many operations, resulting in
the program being slower than it needs to be. Some attention to avoiding
redrawing that which has not changed would be a good thing in a future release.
An option for manual data entry, and editing, would be appreciated.
In conclusion:
geoChart is a powerful tool for creating charts. While it is probably of
greatest use to geoCalc users, it is appropriate for anyone who wishes to chart
data from GEOS. It is capable of producing very professional results. This
product was rumored, and later announced, some time ago. It's good to see that
the wait has, by and large, been worth it.

ARC VERSION 2.20 PAGE - 14
move <[s:]pattern> [[[s:]pattern]...] <d:>
Copies files between drives. As many as eight patterns
may be given as parameters. If either the source or the
destination drive is omitted, it is assumed to be the
default drive. Some examples are:
move a:arc c: - move file "arc" on drive 8,0
to drive 9,0
move a:* b:* c: - move all files from drives a:
and b: to drive c:
move b:test - moves file "test" on drive b:
to the default drive
move test b: - moves file "test" on the
default drive to drive b:
NOTE: MOVE won't handle relative files properly.....yet
ren [d:]oldname newname
renames a file named 'oldname' to 'newname' on drive d:
type [s:]<pattern>
Simply copies the contents of the file named to the
screen. Only the first file found will be displayed if
wildcards are used.
