PCLVIEWR is a HP PCL5 Emulator that converts files using HP LaserJet Series
III resident fonts (CG Times & Univers) and any download scalable font (.SFS)
into various types of outputs.  It can preview the print file to the screen, 
output in .PCX or .GIF bitmap file formats and print to PCL3 inkjet, PCL4 
laser, or dot matrix printers.  HPEM scales forms that were designed for the 
larger maximum printable area of the LaserJet, so that they can fit on the 
smaller printable area of inkjet printers without kicking-out another page.
This demo version of HPEM Version 3.2 is a fully functional version of the 
production product with the word "DEMO" added to each page.  The following
non-essential files are NOT INCLUDED in the demo:

   SFS2FF1.EXE 	    - The .SFS. font to .FF1 font conversion utility 
      ALLCG.FS1     - Used by SFS2FF1
      *.SYM files   - Used by SFS2FF1
      WP51MGLD.PCL  - Sample file that cause SFS2FF1 to be invoked

   RDWID.EXE        - Prints FastFont font metric information 
   SCANFF1.EXE      - Scans directory for font file header information


PCL2WMF (not included) converts PCL Form Overlays into a vector based (device 
independent) .WMF format with TrueType (.TTF) fonts to match the metrics of
those fonts used in the PCL file.  A PCL2WMF demo is available upon request 
PCL2WMF requires a custom license prior to delivery.

HPEM for Windows is also available on request for Windows applications that
use PCL forms and could benefit from printing them on any type of printer.
A special Windows printer driver is available that uses the ESCAPE "pass-
thru" Function to bypass the GDI front-end and pass the PCL to the back-
end of the driver which call the .DLL version of the HP PCL Emulator.  
This Windows printer driver supports over 600 printer types.
