Legal stuff:
This is a demo-version of DXF to Illustrator 2.1ß. This demo-version has the following restrictions: A maximum size for DXF files (approx. 150 Kb); Only one conversion at a time; Log-menu dimmed; Annoying messages and sounds.
Those who have purchased the full version can use the license number included in the package to personalize their copy and thus get the fully functional version.
System demands:
∑ For using DXF to Illustrator (and its demo-version) you need:
∑ An Apple Macintosh computer. It runs on any Mac running system7.0 or higher, but a minimal configuration of a 68030 machine or a PwoerMac is recommended. It has been tested on SE/30, IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIsi, Quadra 650, Centris 650 and PowerMac 6100/60, 7200/75 and 6400/200, running system 7.0 up to 7.5.5
∑ 300 Kb free on disk (hard disk recommended).
∑ At least a 2 Mb memory partition (more if your DXF files are complex). In order to get a decent speed of conversion, DXF to Illustrator runs its conversion in memory, not on disk.
The full version:
We are selling DXF to Illustrator as "shareware", ie., distributing it only in Demo-version form and when you pay the sharweware fee ($150), you’ll get a license number faxed or emailed, which takes away the demo limitations. You are paying for a license number that will remain valid for all future versions to come!
How to Pay
We are currently working on the possibility of paying by credit card and "on
the web", but for now we are still old-fashioned cheques and bank people.
