scanning schematics

[Fred Finster]

There is program called LView  that reads in one graphics format (like from
your scanner .TIF) and can write out a different space saving format (like
jpeg .jpg)

I have saved a scanner output in the .TIF format.  Then taken the large file
read it into LVIEW program and
saved out again as JPEG format.  This usually results in good size
compression.   I scanned in some pages
from a BOOK about crystal sets and placed them on my WEB site

see the file size of the JPEG
you are viewing.  You can also see a PDF version of a PIXIE schematic I drew
in using Circad Software running under WIN95.

Here is a drawing program  the can read in a BMP or GIF format file and save
as PDF (portable document format ) or .EPS  (Encapsulated Postscript)   .EPS
files can be pulled into a WORD document as "Insert Picture"
http://www.mayura.com   You can download and evaluate Mayura Draw for
yourself.


http://www.holophase.com/   you can download a free DOS version of CIRCAD
for drawing little schematics.  Then print out as a postscipt file.   Next
use the Adobe Acrobat Distiller (not the free Adobe Acrobat reader) to
convert the .PS file into a .PDF format file for publishing on the WEB.  See
the Pixie2.pdf file for an example.
