      AutoCAD DWG filter for BlueCAD rel. 02
      --------------------------------------


This is a DWG filter for BlueCAD 1.0 for OS/2. It can import/export dwg files
up to AutoCAD rel.12; it doesn't support AutoCAD 13/14.

To use the filter, you need to copy KERNEL32.DLL from Win32OS2 
Alpha 2 to your local x:\bluecad\dll directory. This filter uses the same
DLLs of BlueCAD for Windows, converted thanks to the effort of the Win32OS2
Project Team.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A CADWARE PRODUCT AND IT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY ANY MEANS BY 
CADWARE.  ITS USE IS AT  YOUR OWN SOLE RISK AND RESPONSABILTY. 

*-Ware status
-------------
This software is released as PostCard-Ware. So if you like it, please send me
a postcard from your city to my address (below).

Win32OS2 Project
----------------
You can get it from Hobbes (http://hobbes.nmsu.edu), search for win32os2.zip;
alpha 2 required, otherwise you get a warning about version mismatch.
Follow the instruction included in the readme.txt for installation.

Installation
------------
Run the install.cmd script to add all necessary entries to your
BlueCAD INI files.

How to run
----------
Open the BlueCAD' macro dialog (lowest icon on the BlueCAD's vertical toolbar): 
two new icons are now added, one for dwg import and the other for dwg output. 
Clicking on such icons, you will be asked for a file name: type in the full 
path of dwg file to be exported/imported (including .dwg extesion).

This filter is multithreaded, so it won't freeze your input queue while running.

Debug info
----------
To enable debug info, add

   SET CWDEBUGLEVEL=5

before running BlueCAD. You will get a file dwgio.log in your x:\bluecad\prgm
directory.
  To disable Win32OS2 log file, also add

   SET NOWIN32LOG=1

to your config.sys
 

Who I am?
---------
If you have something to say, please write me to <mc6530@mclink.it>. Please
don't write me about incorrect import/export of primitives, because that errors
will not be fixed (at least by me).
