            Have you ever  wanted  to  design  your  "Dream Home", a
       cottage on the lake, or just a backyard shed?  Now you do all
       that easily and inexpensively with HOME PLAN by Chuck Herdon.
       
       Features include (from documentation):
       
       Quick and Easy to learn & use
       Automatic dimensioning

            Using the program is really  quite easy compared to some
       of the CAD  programs  you  may  have  tried.   However,  that
       doesn't  mean it won't do all you want it to.  Looking at the
       above list of features,  you  will  see  that this is quite a
       powerful program.  Hitting F1 brings up a HELP  screen  which
       is  quite complete.  You may need to "play" with the enclosed
       sample plans a bit to get  a  feel for the program before you
       start on your own project.
       
            If you really have a need to design your  own  home,  or
       have  always  wanted  to be an architect, give this program a
       look.   The  modest   registration   fee   is  an  affordable
       alternative to some of the other CAD programs.
       
            Registration gets a  printed  manual  and  a  few  extra
       programs  including one that will convert your plans into PCX
       format.
