PKFORMAT.ARC Specs on Phil Katz's new PD ZIP archive format PC-Draft is a high resolution pixel oriented drawing and graphing utility, which is designed to facilitate a variety of drawing and drafting needs. With PC-Draft you can produce drawings up to 1280 by 700 dots using IBM's color graphic adaptor high resolution graphics mode (640 x 200 dots per screen). Such a drawing will fill an 8-1/2 x 11 inch printed output (at 150 dots per inch resolution). Built-in functions allow you to draw circles, lines, boxes; draw bar, line and pie graphs; create patterns with which to fill areas; cut and paste objects and save objects to files for later use. You can record graphic keyboard macros saved in files for later playback and for animation effects. You can load and edit fonts. And you can print your drawings on Epson compatible graphic printers or HP Laserjet+ printers. ----- Here is an excerpt from PKFORMAT.ARC: Dedication ---------- The file format of the files created by these programs, which file format is original with the first release of this software, is hereby dedicated to the public domain. Further, the filename extension of ".ZIP", first used in connection with data compression software on the first release of this software, is also hereby dedicated to the public domain, with the fervent and sincere hope that it will not be attempted to be appropriated by anyone else for their exclusive use, but rather that it will be used to refer to data compression and librarying software in general, of a class or type which creates files having a format generally compatible with this software. ----- --Keith Petersen Maintainer of the CP/M & MSDOS archives at wsmr-simtel20.army.mil [26.0.0.74] DDN: w8sdz@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil Uucp: {ames,decwrl,harvard,rutgers,ucbvax,uunet}!wsmr-simtel20.army.mil!w8sdz
