This is their press release....] GRAF/DRIVE PLUS allows Turbo C and Turbo Pascal graphics programs to produce output on printers and plotters. GRAF/DRIVE PLUS is unique in that it provides device drivers for Borland's built-in graphics library instead of implementing a separate set of graphics commands. This approach ensures a high degree of compatibility with existing screen graphics programs. Unlike many products that provide graphics device independence, GRAF/DRIVE PLUS is not permanently memory resident, and will be licensed to developers without distribution royalties. Turbo C and Turbo Pascal have a built-in graphics li- brary of over 70 functions, and support a wide range of CRTs via Borland Graphics Interface (BGI) drivers. GRAF/DRIVE PLUS provides additional BGI-compatible drivers for PostScript printers, Hewlett-Packard LaserJet, Epson FX80, and Epson LQ1500 printers, as well as HP7470A/7475A pen plotters. BGI compatability means that a developer can often 'port' his/her Turbo screen graphics program to a hard copy device by simply changing the driver name reference. GRAF/DRIVE PLUS has a list price of $149 for a Personal Use License (without redistribution rights) and $299 for a Developer's License. It requires Turbo C 2.0 or Turbo Pascal 5.0/5.5 for the IBM-PC.
