          ArtCopy
          Introduction

                  ArtCopy is a collection of printer driver files which
          make use of the Borland Graphic Interface to provide programmers
          who use Borland compilers (Turbo Pascal, Turbo C, C++ and Prologue)
          with a convenient way of producing hard-copy output of screen
          graphics.

                  These drivers do not merely "dump" screen buffers to the
          printer.  The full resolution of the output device can be used.
          Graphic library calls such as Line, Circle, PieSlice etc. produce
          output on printers and plotters.

                  ArtCopy is written in assembler to maximize speed and
          to minimize memory requirements leaving as much memory as possible
          for your programs and data.  Since printers like the HP LaserJet
          can produce full page output at 300 dots per inch the graphics
          buffer could be as large as 1 megabyte.  ArtCopy uses temporary
          files to swap data to disk thus keeping memory demands of the
          driver and graphics buffer to about 5000 bytes. The temporary
          file can be directed to a RAM disk to maximize speed (Developers
          Package only).

                  ArtCopy is available in two versions: an Introduction
          Package which provides basic printer functionality with BGI
          files for laser printers, dot matrix printers and HPGL plotters
          and The BGI Developers Package which provides more advanced
          printer support including user configuration settings and
          complete source code.

                  The Introduction Package is available for free - include $5
          for shipping and handling and can be used to create program
