If your desktop publishing efforts seem a little plain, spice them up
with this collection of seven utilities for Xerox's Ventura Publisher!

GCAP imports charts, graphs, pictures or anything else in graphics mode
that you want to use in desktop publishing.  These files are written
directly to disk, complete with compression and a suitable GEM/IMG file
header.  GCAP works with a CGA, EGA, or Hercules graphics card.

HP-SLASH hacks unwanted characters out of your soft fonts to create
leaner, faster files.  It works by creating a new soft font from an
existing one but only includes the characters you want.

MAC2IMG converts standard MacPaint image files into GEM/IMG-compatible
paint files, suitable for use with Ventura 1.1.  MAC2PCX converts them
to PC Paintbrush-compatible PCX files.

MCOPY is an enhanced COPY command to copy several files onto floppies.
It sorts through the files to be copied and begins with the largest one
that fits on a disk.  It fills in the remaining space with smaller files
to use as much of the floppy as possible.  If there are still files to
be copied when the disk is full, the program pauses and asks for another
floppy.  It then proceeds to fill that floppy as well.  MCOPY also
performs an authentic 16-bit CRC check on every file.

SCOOP lets your PC look at PC Paintbrush, MacPaint or GEM/IMG
pictures.

VENTURA FONT MACHINE is a menu-driven front-end to create width tables
for soft fonts used with LaserJet Plus compatible printers.
