CTAN submission: TeXCad32
by Reinhard Zierke 27 Nov '03

27 Nov '03

----- Forwarded message from Peter Furlan ----- I've uploaded version 4.3.3 of the program TeXCad32 to nova.dante.de/incoming/texcad32. I suggest to create a directory systems/win32/texcad32 for it. Licence: TeXCad32 is under the LPPL. Summary: TeXCad32 is a clone of the DOS program Texcad running under Windows from Win95. It is desined to create mathematical drawings with as much WYSIWYG as possible. The output consists either of Emtex-specials or of postscript elements for lines/circles together with LaTeX texts in a picture- environment. Via postscript-pdf conversion also pdflatex is supported. Examples are found on the homepage http://www.das-gelbe-rechenbuch.de/Texcad32/ Best regards and thanks for your work Peter Furlan ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I'm sorry for the delay but I finally installed this in CTAN:graphics/texcad32 next to graphics/tktexcad and graphics/xtexcad. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
