G7: New for 2020

Work in 2020 provided new features, improvements to existing features, and a variety of bug fixes. The most important improvements and new capabilities provided in the G7 software are these:

  • Improved Documentation: The G7 documentation was revised heavily in 2012 and has been updated again in 2020, with new Help files, Users’ Guide, Reference Manual, Tutorial, and other documentation. Companion documents in HTML and PDF formats also were updated. In particular, recent software improvements and extensions have been documented, and cross reference hyperlinks have been added to the Reference Manual.

  • Miscellaneous Improvements:

    1. Added intelligent search for .pmx files to various VAM routines, where the file location is specified in the .vam file by the pmfile command but sometimes G7 has trouble finding it once files are moved.

  • An Abridged Listing of Bug Fixes:

    1. Fixed a bug with the getsum command.

The final version of G7 in 2020 was 7.38994.
