Information about “PRINTGL & SOFT87”

PRINTGL prints an HP-GL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language - HP 7475
subset) plotfile on a matrix printer. HP-GL is widely supported by
graphics programs including AutoCAD, Generic CADD, MathCAD, SAS,
MICROCADAM, Schema, and many more. PRINTGL has native mode drivers for
Epson and NEC compatible 9 and 24 pin dot matrix printers, HP Laserjet,
Deskjet, and PaintJet, and IBM 9 and 24 pin Proprinters, Quietwriter 2
and 3, and LaserPrinter. It will also display plots with a CGA, EGA,
VGA, enhanced VGA, or HGC and output a bit map or GEM .IMG file.

Even if your graphics program supports your printer, you may find that
PRINTGL gives better print quality. PRINTGL uses the best graphics
modes available for each printer that it supports. If you need printed
graphics output from personal software, you can output HP-GL and use
PRINTGL to do the printing. This gives immediate support to a wide range
of printers.

PRINTGL Menu Interface (PMI), included with PRINTGL, gives you easy
access to PRINTGL's many options, and lets you select a list of
plotfiles to print.

SOFT87 is a memory resident math coprocessor emulator that emulates
floating point calculations(80287, 802387) on your 286, or 386
computers.  It is one of the cheapest ways to acquire math coprocessing
capabilities.

SOFT87 is designed for those who do not have an 80x87 (8087,
80287,80387) installed on their computers, but want to use programs
that require an 80x87, or write programs with 80x87 instructions.

This program will work with MS-DOS, PC-DOS, MS Windows or DESQview
SOFT87 is a Once loaded into memory, SOFT87 stays there until you turn
off the computer. After loading SOFT87, the 80x87 instructions can be
executed directly even without an 80287 or 80387 installed in the
computer. Then you can run programs that require an 80287 or 80387, such
as AutoCAD R9, AutoCAD R10, PSpice, PC-MATLAB, ASYST, Auto sketch and
PC-SIMNON.

The registered version of SOFT87 provides 57 extended instructions that
cannot be found in other coprocessors. These extended instructions will
simplify program design and shorten programming time.

With typical co-processors costs between $200(80287-10) to
$500(80387-33), you can't afford not to try SOFT87, since it will save
you money even after you register it.
