 Does IntelliCAD export gifs or JPG's Perry? If so send
 me one. Send me a DXF too and I will try it on ACAD 11.
 If all that fails print it and mail it to me.
 I would like something like that for the web site.

Hi Paul,

Attached should be a page from the Intellicad98 manual about file exports.
I'll assume that the 2000 version will do at least as much.  There is 3D
modeling objects available in I'98 though I haven't done anything with them
personally, nothing too fancy here, just basic functionality I think.

IntelliCad98 is a pretty slick package for the price I always thought (I also
have ACADR12).  Of course they are apparently giving   Intellicad  away for
free now so I guess I paid too much!  You will have to let go of your DOS
environment and take the Windows plunge as these are Windows apps of course.

As to exporting to JPEG or GIFF I notice on IntelliCad98 I can export in
bitmap format .BMP which I think you can then convert to JPEG or GIFF in most
graphics programs like CorelDraw.    I've attached a sample drawing converted
to BMP format as well.  If you don't get both files I'll resend attaching one
file at a time.

When you run a DOS extender program like ACAD 11 or ACAD 12 
or Lotus 123 Release 4 on a modern 400 mega-cycle per second computer 
things really zing right along. No GUI overhead! Don't tell anybody 
this secret as their productivity will double and their boss will 
fire them for sitting around and doing nothing.

Just send the BMP unzipped. I can covert to gif or jpg using
xv under Linux. I got pkunzip under Linux but I have yet to
learn how to use it :-)
