This disk is freely distributable. Give it (do NOT sell it)
to someone you like.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is version 1.2.2 of mCAD, a shareware object-oriented drawing
program. If you use this program, I'd like you to send a donation of
$20 to (me):
Tim Mooney
120 Purefoy Rd.
Chapel Hill NC 27514
Sending the donation renders you a registered user and entitles you to
the source code, updates, and support. If you want me to send the source,
the latest version, or anything else that requires mailing you a disk,
please send either a blank disk or an additional $5.
If you use mCAD and DON'T send a donation, you can discharge your
moral obligation to me by writing/creating something USEFUL on the Amiga and
releasing it into the public domain. If you can't do either of these things
then I feel pretty bad for you and hope your situation improves.
Sincerely,
Tim Mooney 3/11/87

Contents of this disk:
mCAD - the executable
mCAD.doc - documentation
mCAD.rgb - the color map read by mCAD at startup. This file is
over-written by mCAD when the user selects "Save Colors"
from the "Color" menu.
mCAD.txt - the text font used by mCAD. This is not an Amiga font;
it is not a bit-mapped font, but a line-drawn one.
OptoDAC.cad - a sample mCAD file.
part - a subdirectory of mCAD files useable as parts (or as
drawings.)
readme - this file.
sendplt - a script file to be "Execute"ed. This is used to send
plotter files to a plotter. This file only works for
single-pen plotter files (files created in response to a
"..1 Pen" selection from the "Project" menu.) For
multi-pen plotter files, simply copy the file to ser:.
stage.cad - a sample mCAD file.
voltage_to_frequency.cad
- a large sample mCAD file. This file is near the limit
of what a 512K Amiga (running the current version of mCAD
and nothing else) can handle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the demo version of mCAD was distributed, I have modified two
programs, which I had previously placed into the public domain, so that they
can write mCAD input files. The programs are:
mp - A program which extracts data from a text file and plots it
on a hires screen. This is a pretty capable plotting
program which allows for line and point plots with error
bars. Also the program is good at telling the difference
between text and data; you can, for example, plot the
content of tables of data in a report.
tdp - A program which makes 3-D plots of data with hidden-line
removal, user-defined view point, etc.
The above two programs are still in the public domain, of course.
