Program Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This program is a Bonus Add-In, created specially for users of the
AS-EASY-AS spreadsheet. It will create true three dimensional
perspective Bar, Surface, Pole and Wall graphs from data contained
in the spreadsheet. Graf3d is capable of operating on CGA EGA and
Hercules graphics cards. Using a special mixing simulation scheme
(EGA cards only) it is capable of displaying many more colors than
the 16 color limit of an EGA monitor. The better the resolution of
your monitor, the more realistic the colors look!
Give it a try...
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To attach this program as part of your AS-EASY-AS spreadsheet,
use the following commands:

Please note that GRAF3D.EXE and NFONT.FNT must reside in the same
disk/directory where the ASEASY.EXE and ASEASY.MSG files are
located, for the Add-in to work. If the files are not located
there, and you try to access the Add-in, AS-EASY-AS will display an
error message 'Unable to execute...'.
