This file contains technical information about pen plotter
types supported by the SPLOT program. It also contains list
of supported plotter instructions for each listed plotter
type.
1. General Information:
The SPLOT program is available in various versions
according to the type of simulated plotter. This means that
each SPLOT.EXE module is designated for a certain plotter
type. This principle gives the maximum reliability of
simulation of the given plotter type. At present versions for
the following plotter types are at your disposal:
Plotter type | Plotter syntax
------------------------------------------------------------
ROLAND DXY 1100/1200/1300 | DXY-GL / RD-GL I
HP 7470A | HP-GL
HP 7475A | HP-GL
HP 7440A ColorPro | HP-GL
HP 7550A | HP-GL
HP 7570A/7575A/7576A DraftPro DXL/EXL | HP-GL
HP 7595A/7596A DraftMaster I/II | HP-GL
An UNREGISTERED COPY of the program is available only in
the version for the HP 7475A plotter. The versions for other
plotter types can be received only on the basis of regular
registration. See the file LICENCE.DOC for registration
information.
