mCAD turned into IntroCad.  A last version of mCAD (v1.6) had
the special printer drivers that appeared in IntroCad.  I saw
figures from the mCAD version and they were VERY NICE.
They were data figures and circuit diagrams for Tim's dissertation,
which sounds like what you are looking for.

The drivers were ASCII config files that you created for  
your particular printer.

IntroCad is/was very inexpensive (under $100 mail order) and added
more features.  You might consider that purchase.  If you know
someone with IntroCad, you might try loading in and printing
out your mCAD files.

Tim was graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill and, last I heard, was
living somewhere in beautiful Rockville, MD working on IntroCad.
