Subject: Non-SR: Windows 3.1 PostScript viewer - PageDraw

I believe that this program is okay, and I believe that it's
shareware. If no one is able to disillusion me, then I could
pass the program on to interested people. (I haven't
used it myself, however.)

Note that it requires Adobe Type Manager to be installed.

If you _really_ want it, email me. But note that
I'd feel bad about mailing out dozens of them; if I get lots
of requests, maybe someone could put it on their home page or
something? (Assuming that it really _is_ shareware.)

Unless someone knows an ftp site for it?

pgdraw15.zip PostScript based vector drawing program

PageDraw is a PostScript based vector drawing program for Windows 3.1. It
lets you draw graphical shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, bezier curves,
text etc. After you have drawn objects, you can edit them, or transform
them, i.e., translate (move), scale, rotate, skew or reflect the objects.
PageDraw treats text and graphics uniformly during transformation, and all
objects, including text, are editable even after transformation. PageDraw
outputs custom PostScript for best quality output on printers that support
PostScript. Non-PostScript printers are also supported. Drawings are saved
in EPS format for easy inclusion in word processor documents. Documentation
is provided in Windows Help format. PageDraw is freeware.

Special requirements:
80386 SX or better processor
Windows 3.1
Adobe Type Manager Version 2.01 or later (only required if you want text)

Here's the package zipped up:

If I were to uuencode this and split it up (<64Kb), would that
be useful to people with Windows machines? On a Unix machine,
how _do_ you prepare stuff like this so it can be put together
at the far end on a Windows machine?
