PANACEA(R) OFFERS UPDATE TO FREE, FULLY FUNCTIONAL DISPLAY & RENDERING DRIVER FOR AUTOCAD R12 & 3D STUDIO LONDONDERRY, NH — March 15, 1994 — Panacea Inc. today announced the availability of TurboDLDDemo(tm) v2.0, a FreeWare ADI 4.2 Display Driver for AutoCAD Release 12 and 3D Studio Release 3. TurboDLDDemo provides unlimited full display and rendering support for AutoCAD and 3D Studio. Additionally, TurboDLDDemo offers backward compatibility with AutoCAD Releases 10/386 and 11, as well as with AutoShade 2.0 with RenderMan and 3D Studio v1.x and v2.x. Lastly, TurboDLDDemo also gives AutoCAD users the opportunity to sample the benefits of Panacea's latest Display List Processing (DLP) technology and productivity enhancements. TurboDLDDemo gives AutoCAD users a full 20 minutes per day to evaluate Panacea's TurboDLDDeluxe display list acceleration and user interface enhancements — which include TOTS(tm) (Tablet On The Screen graphical icon menus), Real-Time Panning, The Big Picture(tm) bird's eye view, the static MicroScope(tm), a Drawing Viewer, a ZoomPreview(tm) spyglass, and much more — without the inconvenience or annoyance of random, pop-up sales pitches or interruptions. After the daily 20 minute demo time period has expired, TurboDLDDemo reverts into a non-display list mode for the rest of the day, still providing full ADI 4.2 support, but without the performance and functionality benefits of TurboDLDDeluxe. In addition to supporting AutoCAD, TurboDLDDemo includes free high resolution display and rendering support for all versions of 3D Studio. Full 3D Studio support is available at all times, without any daily usage limit. Panacea's Turbo DLD(R) software supports virtually all graphics boards, including those based on VGA, SuperVGA, S3, 8514/A, TIGA, XGA, Compaq QVision, IIT AGX, ATI Graphics Ultra, and Weitek P9000 technologies. The driver is available free of charge directly from Panacea via its BBS at (603) 432-5193, or it can be found on CompuServe in the ACAD, ASOFT, and CADENCE Forums. Users who are unable to obtain TurboDLDDemo via modem may visit their local Panacea dealer or order a diskette version of the software directly from Panacea for a $10.00 cost, refundable towards the purchase of TurboDLDDeluxe.
