I have downloaded TeXcad version 2.7 from
terminator.cc.umich.edu (on Sept. 4, 1990).
Most things look quite impressive except one.
When I put a vector and saved it, the direction
is reversed.
For example, when I put a vector:
<---------
and saved the file and retrieved, it changed to
---------->
That is, the intended direction (-1,0) has been changed
to (1,0).
All directions are reversed excepted vertical ones,
e.g. (0,1) and (0,-1).
Did anybody notice this problem?
Is there any better version of TeXcad?

[describes a bug that causes vectors to be reversed] I noticed this bug also. I also tried the LaTeX files on a number of systems - always with the same result. Also, if you load in a TeXCad file after saving it, the vectors go the wrong way (as Young described)! One point that may affect this is not using a mouse. I have been using the cursor keys to draw. (I doubt a bug like this would make it past initial tests.) I tried to mail the author of emTeX, but my mail bounced; so I gave up. Todd.

Yes, there is a newer version of TeXCad that fixes the above problem. I just received it on a disk, as a reward for registering for DM30. Dominik

I have recently gotten TeXcad Ver. 2.7 from terminator. However, I have
noticed one slight bug--I want to confirm this happens to others.
Footnote 1 on p. 3 of the manual (English version) says that "Ctrl-arrow
keys move the cursor in greater steps." This works fines for me when
I use CTRL --> and CTRL <-- (right and left arrows), but not for the
up and down arrows. TeXcad (for me) ignores the CTRL-UP and CTRL-DOWN.
I have tried the program on several different machines, including True
Blues, and it always occurs.
I would have sent an inquiry to the author, but I couldn't find an
e-mail address anywhere in the manual.
Thanks.
