- DEEDPLT was written and compiled in Microsoft QuickBASIC Ver 4.5, date stamp
- 88-09-28. This is the first version released to the public, and undoubtedly
- contains more bugs than a case of used Roach Hostels. Rumors have it that
- programs compiled with QuickBASIC 4.5 require DOS 2.1 or better. I know that
- DOS 3.3 works. <FEEDBACK>
-
- MSHERC.COM, an undocumented program included with QuickBASIC, is necessary to
- support the Hercules (mono) Graphics Adapter. <MSHERC.DOX>

- The HyperRez hypertext program used to create Virtually Virtual Virtuosity <VVV>

- The text (including this file) was written and edited with <BLACKBEA.RD>, the

- The text (including this file) was spell checked with <SharSpel>, a shareware
- spell checker from Acropolis Software. A <glossary> is assembled from words
- not in its dictionary. Technical words specific to surveying or words used in
- an unusual way are <TechWord>s.
-
- DEEDPLT is part of a continuous series of surveying programs which was started
- in 1965 on an IBM 1620. Many computers and more programs have been supported
- since. The immediate predecessor is CAVEMAP1.BAS written in GW-BASIC, and
- distributed in the shareware package SURVEY LAND YOURSELF. DEEDPLT is designed
- to only cover those functions needed to plot a land description.

- SURVEYIT, A compass & tape surveying program, supporting multiple instrument
- readings, backsights, inclinometer, multiple loops and branches, &c etc et
- cetera is in progress. If you need to survey it yourself with a compass &
- tape, ask. <SLY>

- WINDOWS. There is NO WINDOWS version. There has never been a WINDOWS

- Please note that there is presently a malicious war being fought on the hard
- disks of America, between the forces of $10.00 software and the forces of
- $1000. software. Some diabolically sociopathic programmer may have insinuated
- a malignant warrior for the malevolent forces of evil into my code, either
- before or after it left my shop.
