The VB6 runtime module is normally part of Windows XP - if you have trouble running PM XP, install it. It's also available from Microsoft at VB6 Runtime.
A WinXP HPGL driver for WinXP allows page sizes up to 915mm x 3200mm (36" x 126") and allows printing to file. For larger plots, use one of the two scaling methods: 1. draw at a known scale and rescale during Plotmaster HPGL import (e.g. 1/2 scale and 200% import), or 2. scale to fit the page and include a drawn box of a known size and unique color and enter these two values into Plotmaster HPGL import autoscaling. Win95/98 includes HPGL drivers (e.g. HP7586), but here's an alternative Win98 HPGL driver.
Our programs require a few support files that you may not already have.
Generally, you only need to download these once, or when a program complains it can't find something. Put these files into your working directory for our programs or your windows/system directory: apiguide.dll, grid.vbx, tips.vbx, lfstatus.vbx, resize.vbx, cmdialog.vbx, vbrun300.dll
For problems running a 16-bit application like Hulls in Win XP or NT, try this Microsoft Bulletin.
