Upgrades to ProCAD+
are available for existing,
registered ProCAD and CADet users.
Registered
ProCAD & CADet users have been notified.
(If you are

The product upgrade includes a completely new manual and
installation instructions. ProCAD+ will read both ProCAD and CADet files but
ProCAD+ files may not be used with ProCAD or CADet.
ProCAD+
requires RISC-OS 3.00 and higher to work. It makes good use
of the improvements provided by the latest versions of RISC-OS, including
textured window backgrounds and 'desktop' fonts.
Existing ProCAD and CADet users
will feel comfortable using ProCAD+. All the good features have been
preserved but they have been added to and improved.

- New Drawing file manager
that allows directories to be scanned and drawings previewed, as well
as managing and extracting symbols from files. (Can even work with
squashed files!)
