PERMISSION TO DISTRIBUTE
------------------------
Our sending this disk to you and the letter that accompanies it constitues

GEMCAP as part of your shareware libarary. If you have obtained this from
another source, (not directly from Natural Software), please write or call
for our explicit permission.
We further ask that you send us a copy of your standard written
materials (catalogs or flyers) which clearly explain the shareware

constitute payment for the product. The material must also differentiate
between shareware and public domain software.
You may distribute PC-Draft-CAD as is. That is, with the 3 self-extracting
LHARC files together. Or, if you wish, you may extract the files and
distribute them on two disks, or use another compression format such as ZIP
format. You MUST distribute all the files together.

and helps give customers confidence that reasonable standards are met in
the distribution of shareware products.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
-------------------
You may use the following description of PC-Draft-CAD in your catalog.
(You may edit and use some, all, or none... )
PC-Draft-CAD provides features found only in more expensive CAD
systems including automatic dimensions, unlimited layers, multiple
fonts, object libraries, and dot-matrix printer support. It uses the
high resolution modes of EGA, VGA, Super VGA and Hercules displays.
"Virtual Memory" automatically uses extended or expanded memory or
disk space as necessary for drawing sizes up to 32 megabytes.
PC-Draft-CAD's intuitive user interface gives users a choice of pop up
menus or single keystroke commands. This along with complete mouse
support and context sensitive help, make learning easy while being
unobtrusive to expert users.
PC-Draft-CAD is most useful for producing exact scale drawings with
HPGL compatible plotters and dot-matrix or laser printers. PC-Draft-
CAD's vector based drawings may be directly incorporated into
WordPerfect version 5.0 or other Desk Top Publishing applications that
read WPG, HPGL, or GEM Draw format. Also WordPerfect WPG files can be
converted for editing with PC-Draft-CAD.
PC-draft's functions allow you to draw circles, ellipses, lines, boxes
and arcs with varying line widths and line styles, creating named
objects which may be stored in libraries for use in multiple drawings.
Named objects may be used as fill patterns which may be edited or
created by the user. PC-Draft supports unlimited layers, multiple
font styles. Text can be rotated at any angle. Objects may be rotated,
stretched, shrunk, mirrored, cloned and scaled.
Other drawing aids let you: save and restore multiple views of the
drawing; pan and zoom; complete "undo" and "redo" delete or restore
drawing elements; display drawing grids at any spacing, with optional
"grid-lock" (Snap). You can record graphic keyboard macros for later
playback. Also, drawing elements (such as lines and boxes) may be
joined or split.
PC-Draft-CAD's object libraries containing architectural or electrical
symbols can be cut and pasted into your drawings, modified and saved.
Registered user price (full libraries, illustrated manual) $65.00
System Requirements for PC-Draft-CAD
Requires on IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 and "true compatible" microcomputers
with 256k of memory, MS-DOS versions 2.0 or later. CGA, EGA, VGA or
Hercules Graphics Display adapter is required. Supported printers
include IBM and Epson dot-matrix, HP LaserJet+, IIP, III, and HP
DeskJet and plotters compatible with the HPGL plotter language.
GEMCAP
------
This utility program, allows you to capture text and graphics screen
images from other programs, save them in separate GEM .IMG files, and
later load them into other programs that can read the same .IMG format
such as Ventura Publisher. Preserves reverse video fields in text
mode.
This new version (4.0) now adds support for EGA and VGA text and graphics
modes. EGA and VGA 43 or 50 line text screens are converted to bit-mapped
graphics using the RAM resident font so that your documents will show
EXACTLY what was on the screen. New graphics modes supported are:
EGA 640x350x16 color mode and VGA 640x480x16 color mode. Supports Hercules
in text mode only.
GEMCAP is VERY popular with companies in the process of producing user
manuals or teaching materials for software. With GEMCAP, they can import
the program screens directly into their documents.
