This program displays a calcomp plot file to a VGA 640*480 16 color screen.
It has been tested with all the calcomp drivers for Autocad 10,11,12
Please note that for ACAD 12, you should use the Calcomp driver V2.9 as
the previous versions have bugs with the DrawingMaster for which my program
cannot compensate. There should be NO problem using this software with V2.9
It has also been tested with Microstation and has a bug fixed for Cadkey.
If you find this program usefull please send me a check for $25.00.
This will encourage me to add a file_open_dialog_box to the program, fix
future bugs and finish the Windows version.
Make check payable to

Also available 1: Cal2dxf.exe which converts calcomp plot files to ascii
dxf which any cad package should be able to read.
2: Cal2dxfb.exe which converts calcomp plot files to binary
dxf which which only Autocad can read but loads up to
5 times faster than an ascii DXF file.
3: Calstats.exe which reads a calcomp plot file and informs
you 1: how many sync codes 2: value of sync code 3: bias value 4: the physical
size of the plot file in inches and mm. at all the common DPIs 5: which pens
are used in the plot file.
Each program is $25.00 or get all 4 for $50.00
------------------------------------------------------------------
syntax -> calview <filename.ext> <dpi> <i/m>
1: You must supply the filename + extension.
2: You should supply the DPI the plot file was intended for for a correct
translation or 200 DPI will be assumed.
3: You can specify if the plot file was metric or imperial. If you dont
specify then imperial will be assumed.
NOTE
This program translates most all calcomp commands that I could find.
There are a few command I had no idea how to translate or which I could
not generate examples of to test. However It has NEVER failed to translate
an Autocad generated calcomp file. I cant answer for other cad packages.
