   SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS:

      Do you have a need to generate business, math, or scientific  graphs 
      in  the  DOS, Windows/Windows 95/Windows NT or OS/2 PM environments?  
      If so, the ZGRAF graph toolkit may be just what you need to dress up 
      your application with a bit of graphics flash!

      If you haven't done so already, take a minute or two to run one of 
      the demo programs, to get an idea of some of the graph styles that 
      can be created.
        
                


   HIGHLIGHTS/FEATURES OF THE ZGRAF GRAPH TOOLKIT 
   ______________________________________________
    
            
   - COMPLETE

       The ZGRAF toolkit contains a wide assortment of  graph  styles  for 
       DOS  (Borland  BGI  + Microsoft Graphics), Win 3.X, Win 95, Win NT, 
       and OS/2 PM.  Basic graph styles available include Bar, Pie,  Area, 
       Ribbon,  Logarithmic,  Polar,  X/Y,  2-D Function, 3-D Surface, and 
       Contour graphs.  Using different features of  these  basic  styles, 
       many more graph types are possible...

            The Personal and Commercial Developer  Versions  both  include 
            the   full   toolkit  functionality  for  development  in  the 
            respective environment(s).  However, the Commercial  Developer

      Remember,  most  of  these  products  suuport  only  ONE  platform 
      (i.e., Windows)!

      Are these other products overpriced, or is the ZGRAF Toolkit  just 
      a  great value?  We'll let you make the call.  To be fair, some of 
      the packages listed above do offer a few graph styles and features 
      not found in our Toolkit.  But overall we think you'll agree,  the 
      ZGRAF  C++ Toolkit provides the most bang-for-the-buck for today's 
      GUI developer...

      
            
        
   - FULL SOURCE-CODE INCLUDED
    
      As  a  developer, you know that the availability of source-code is 
      important.
        
      When you order  the  ZGRAF  toolkit,  you  get  the  COMPLETE  C++ 
      source-code  to  all  the  graph  functions.   You  also  get  the 
      source-code to the demo programs featured in this package.  Should 
      you  want  to  modify the source-code to the graph library for any 
      reason, you'll find the code easy to follow, and well-commented.    
            
      The  toolkit  has  been designed to exploit the power of C++.  All 
      graphs share a basic "look and feel", and inherit common features.  
      Experienced C++ programmers will appreciate the ease in which  new 
      graphs  can  be  created   by  "inheriting"  the  functionality of 
      existing objects and by extending the graph classes.
                 
           


____________________________________________________________________________


   - MULTI-PLATFORM
   
      Yes, the ZGRAF C++ Toolkit is available on a  number of  different 
      platforms  [DOS,  Windows,  Windows  95,  Windows  NT,  OS/2  PM].  
      Moreover,  we're  planning  to add support for UNIX and Linux soon 
      (hopefully early  1996).   Maybe  some  other  platforms/operating 
      systems down the road, too.  
      
      And  don't  worry.  If you purchase the ZGRAF C++ Graph Toolkit now, 
      you get  FREE upgrades--for up to one year after the  date  of your 
      purchase.   This  means that when support for new platforms becomes 
      available, you get support for the new platforms at no extra cost!  
      
      
      
   - SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
    
      If you are not 100% satisfied with the ZGRAF  C++  Graph  Toolkit 
      just return it within 30 days for a full refund.  
                                        
        
        
    REQUIREMENTS
    ------------

      A C++ compiler providing access to the API and SDK-level  graphics 
      functions  is  required.   The  ZGRAF Toolkit was tested using the 
      following development environments:


          MS-DOS and
          MS-Windows:  Borland C++, versions 3.1 and 4.02.
                       Microsoft Visual C++, version 1.52.  
                   
          Windows 95,
          Windows NT:  Microsoft 32-bit Visual C++, version 2.1.

          OS/2 PM:     Borland C++, version 1.0.
                       IBM CSet++, version 2.1. 

            
      The  code  was  designed with portability in mind.  It should port 
      easily to other  C++  compilers/environments  without  significant 
      alterations,  and should work with future versions of DOS, Windows 
      and OS/2.
      
      Some  knowledge  of  basic  GUI  programming  concepts  and 'C' is 
      assumed on the part of the user, but the examples are adequate  to 
      assist  even the novice Windows or PM developer.  An understanding 
      of C++ is helpful, but not required to utilize this product...
