PRINTER/PLOTTER BGI DRIVERS FOR TURBO C/PASCAL
[disclaimer: I use this product
it works as advertised
I have have no interest in the company.
This is their press release....]
GRAF/DRIVE PLUS allows Turbo C and Turbo Pascal graphics programs
to produce output on printers and plotters.
GRAF/DRIVE PLUS is unique in that it provides device
drivers for Borland's built-in graphics library instead of
implementing a separate set of graphics commands. This
approach ensures a high degree of compatibility with
existing screen graphics programs. Unlike many products
that provide graphics device independence, GRAF/DRIVE PLUS
is not permanently memory resident, and will be licensed to
developers without distribution royalties.
Turbo C and Turbo Pascal have a built-in graphics li-
brary of over 70 functions, and support a wide range of CRTs
via Borland Graphics Interface (BGI) drivers. GRAF/DRIVE
PLUS provides additional BGI-compatible drivers for PostScript
printers, Hewlett-Packard LaserJet, Epson FX80, and Epson LQ1500
printers, as
well as HP7470A/7475A pen plotters. BGI compatability means
that a developer can often 'port' his/her Turbo screen
graphics program to a hard copy device by simply changing
the driver name reference.
GRAF/DRIVE PLUS has a list price of $149 for a Personal
Use License (without redistribution rights) and $299 for a
Developer's License. It requires Turbo C 2.0 or Turbo
Pascal 5.0/5.5 for the IBM-PC.

Just in case you miss my previous message: I am about to release a shareware package og BGI drivers (Laserjet, matrix and HPGL). It is being tested right now but I expect to release it in April. The package will come in two versions - a free set of BGI's and documentation and a developers package which will include a configuration editor (for redirecting output) and full source code (assembler). -- Bruce Mcara - via FidoNet node 1:140/22 UUCP: ...!herald!weyr!72!Bruce.Mcara Domain: Bruce.Mcara@f72.n140.z1.FIDONET.ORG Standard Disclaimers Apply...
