I'm looking for software to help in laying out landscaping for my yard.
What I would like is a package that allows you to lay things out on a scaled
grid. (a form of 2D drafting) I have an oddly shaped yard, so it has to handle
other than 90 deg angles. I have an EGA monitor, a Epson MX80 printer, and a
Logitec mouse (which I perfer to use as my main method of entry).
Of course, I would like something PD or Shareware, but expect that I will
have to settle for something commercial. Please let me know of any packages
you are aware of and of any experiences, good or bad, you have had with them.
I purchased a program called "DREAM HOUSE" for the IBM. (As far as I know,
this is not the same program offered by Spinnaker for the CBM 64).
This program is a REAL piece of SH*T. I could write something in BASIC (Blah)
that could out perform what this thing can do. I did only pay $20 for it, but
it was only worth the disk that it came on.
Anyways, please send mail directly to me and I'll summarize to the net.
Thanks in advance,
-- Scott
