NAME
Naming_Conventions - An explanation of function names used in Dore

DESCRIPTION
All Dore functions start with a ``D'' followed by a single lower case letter specifying the type of Dore function. FORTRAN the entire function name is in upper case.> The rest of the function name is a mnemonic, using concatenated words or abbreviations with the first character of each word in upper case.

The following table illustrates the second-letter mnemonic variations:

DcXXXXX	a Dore constant value, used as a parameter
DdXXXXX	a Dore device function
DeXXXXX	a Dore user extension function. Used when
	adding user-defined extensions to Dore; not typically
	used by application programs.
DfXXXXX	a Dore frame function
DgXXXXX	a Dore group function
DoXXXXX	a Dore object creation function
DpXXXXX	a Dore primitive function
DsXXXXX	a Dore system function, or object manipulation function
DtXXXXX	a Dore type declaration, used for passing parameters
DvXXXXX	a Dore view function
