Changes to this book for Version 3 Release 1

The following changes have been made to this book for Version 3 Release1:

Only guidance information for programming to the GDDM Base API is contained in this book. Guidance information for programming to the GDDM-PGF API is now contained in a separate book, the GDDM-PGF Application Programming Guide.
Guidance information for GDDM programming under the various supported subsystems is now included in the appendixes of this book.
Task-oriented headings have been used to aid navigation through the book.
"An introduction to programming with GDDM" in topic 1.0 has been changed to reflect the support of the C/370 and REXX programming languages by the GDDM Base API.
"Designing device-independent programs" in topic 19.0 has been added to help programmers design programs that work equally well on many devices.
The information in "Sending output from an application to a printer" in topic 20.0 relating to the use of printers for family-4 output has been changed to reflect the enhanced support for advanced-function printing.
The information in "Sending output from an application to a plotter" in topic 21.0 has been changed to reflect changes in the API that allow programs to produce long plots on certain devices.
