- This page covers notes for PrintGL 1.40 that are not included in the
- v1.30 manual.
-
- PrintGL 1.40 is a major change in PrintGL and its packaging. The
- complete PrintGL package now includes the function of the old
- PrintGL and PrintCAD plus a version of PrintGL for Windows.
-
- PrintGL/D includes the function of the old PRINTGL.EXE and PMI.EXE
- in one EXE file. PRINTGLD can be run from the command line but it
- does not take default parameters from the PRINTGL environment
- variable, and instead takes them from the menu configuration.
-
- PrintGL/W is new. It is a Windows version of PrintGL/D and the user
- interface is essentially identical PrintGL/D.
-
- PrintCAD is a minor enhancement to the old PrintCAD. The file name
- is now PRINTCAD.EXE instead of PCAD.EXE.
