NDLI: Achievement certificates from graphics environment

Content Provider	ACM Digital Library
Author	Olsen, T. M.
Abstract	Karsten Manufacturing Corporation issues a “Certificate of Hole in One” (CHIO) to golfers who ace with PING (trademark) equipment. Formerly done manually, the certificate is now plotted automatically in less than two minutes, unattended, with two-color English Gothic and simplex italic Roman fonts, and a digitized signature, on gilded, preprinted, parchment forms. The plot file is produced from international input data received orally by telephone, or on tape from the “Golf Digest” clearing house. The APL2 application was implemented as an extension of the IBM GIAM graphics language and employs several new commands for loading and manipulating graphic characters from the Hershey font library. The paper explains various input panels and graphic displays. Technical obstacles including acceptable interactive and batch running-time-per-certificate are described, along with their solution. The method includes traditional MIS techniques and shows how these are applied in a production system.This is the story of how the CHIO project evolved and how we learned by doing.
