We called up SQR/MITI/Brio, whoever they are this week, to get the new
version of SQR.

We are using SQR4.2.3 on an HP Unix machine.
We are not using any kind of graphical tools, but just writing straight
programs
with the mighty editor vi.

I wanted SQR4.3+, because I had heard that it was capable of producing
pdf files directly, without having to go throught the step of making
postscript
files first.

We got 2 CD's for Brio SQR ver 5.1 (ie. a major version, rather than a
minor
version upgrade!!!) and a thin manual.  The upgrade manual mentions
that there are 2 reference manuals, but we did not get them.  We haven't
installed it as of yet, but it is happening as we speak.

Are the manuals on the CD, or do we have to order them separate?

and

Can anybody tell the changes that have taken place and/or any problems
we will encounter running older programs?

I notice that lists have been added.  Variables prefixed with %
How are they used?

Thanks
