Just got done going through your invention and must tell you that I
found it a fantastic program! It is a big help and time saver. My
registration is on the way! One question – could you give me an example
using the Zmode. I don't quite understand why you put it in(I understand
what it does). Keep those updates coming – youse is jammin!!
Thanks for the kind words! As for the zoom mode, uh, well, it came
in because someone asked for it and it seemed like a neat hack! I guess
one use of it might be if you had a slide of a floor plan of a building.
You could display the whole building or use the zoom mode to enalrge
certain room or sections of the plan for a closer look. The same applies
to peices of a mechanical drawing.. You might want to see a little more
detail. Unlike AutoCAD, the resolution does not improve when you zoom in,
however, so pushing too far gives a lot of jagged lines and sometimes a
loss of clarity. It's all dependant on the resolution of the screen driver
that was in use when the slide was made. So… You ARE better off making
indevidual slides of the views that you want. On the other hand, if
someone else gave you a slide and you can't reproduce parts of it… This
is a way to look a little closer! Does that answer the question?
I think I was one of the folks that requested it, I did a batch script
where SLDMGR went through all the zooms in a particular slide. I thought it
was pretty interesting and could lend itself to demo applications.
What the heck, it was a good hack. I really like the Quad views too.

I knew that got in there for some reason or another. Seems like a good
feature to me. Getting more requests for menus… May be a couple of
months but you'll see a new version with some new features one of these
days! (Not a promise, just a guess – no legal hassles please… Anybody
seen release 10?) Yeeee Haaaaa!
