HERE, HERE AGAIN, All CIMtechnologies products are shipped with source code and changes to this code are encouraged. Of course we cannot offer free phone support on changed code, we feel that these changes can eventually be used to increase our products capabilities. Unfortunately we write code for some companies…

Craig, I noticed your message a while back about trying to compare ARRIS to Autocad. I work for a company that develops third party engineering utilities for CAD. We are not architects and we sell no computer products except what we write. We are an Authorized developer for both Autocad…

I'm the guy who is working on the 11X17 on the laser printer and your method of windowing halfsies in Autocad would do the same thing. What I was after with this program is to take an already created plot PLT file from any CAD program or spreadsheet and sending…

I've got four Paradise VGA boards and love them too. I might add though, that I purchased five and had to send one back because the Paradise VGA boards do not work with XENIX yet. XENIX is working on the fix. They built VGA into the PS/2 version but not…

You must not have the memory expansion for the 8514? I read a note in the back of Cadalyst magazine that if you type the plot command, and when in plot press CTRL-C you will return to the proper graphics screen. It sounds like a real kludge but if it…

From: Dave Sly Forum unknown · General April 2, 1988 2:54 PM
Speaking of using Kelvinator. I noticed that this program changes the names of functions as well as all variable names I don't mind the variable names, but if you call your LISP functions by name through your menus then you either have to edit the kelvinized lisp file or modify…

We use an LI2000 laser printer which has built in HPGL emulation and we have written a C program to take an 11by17 HPGL file for the HP 7475 and print two 8X11's out to the laser printer. We will soon be getting in an HPlaser jet and are planning…

In response to your comment about graphics boards ds not working on some 386 machines, we have noticed that the orchid PGA board we bought about a year ago does not work on our 386 clone with the mylex motherboard. We also run XENIX 286 and 386 and have found…
