Which reminds me I never did see Rich's follow up msgs about his plotter.

Well 'most' may be Shareware instead of Demo, since someone found about 15
sites with the ShareWare.  I didn't search all the FTP sites, and I didn't
even look recently.  But once when I tried to get the ShareWare version from
BMT-Micro, which is a Reg-Site for BlueCAD, I wound up with a Demo version.
At the time I looked several other places and found several different Demo
versions.  Most indicated they were demo, before I D/L them.  None were really
functional for any productive work.  They did include the samples or examples,
which are in the ShareWare version.  IIRC they also had some engine to "tour"
the features, which is not in the ShareWare version.  In fact a "tour" is
basically all it was.  It was always in 1 file much smaller than the ShareWare
set of files.  Sorry I don't remember the Demo file name, since I deleted it.

Those file names are the same as my ShareWare version, although the date is
more recent than what I have for v.1.008 and not as recent as what I have for
the v.1.010 upgrade.  You might have an intermediate version.

I'll send you everything I have except those 3 files and the PJDemoe.zip.
That will include some extra features and the latest (AFAIK) upgrade to
v.1.010 (when added to what you already have.)  That comes to just under 2MB
archived of additional files.

     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts
