I used to write presentation graphics software for the London
Software Studio, back in 1986-88. Harvard Graphics was out big
competitor at the time -- what happened to it? Our software was
called EPPS, the Enhanced Personal Presentation System, and ran
on PCs with EGA cards. Then, the VGA came out and we got a bit
left behind. I still have some demo code in C that I wrote on
a PS/2 Model 80 for manipulating the VGA palette chip and doing
all sorts of new and exciting things that never got into a product.
PS. I had a copy of the EGA programming manual that was mentioned
in another thread, but of course that was lost a long time ago.

I just tried that -- the "CAM tool" in
Eagle produces a PS file that
Adobe Distiller, Adobe Illustrator, and *bletch* CorelDraw all handle
correctly.
HA! Yet CorelDraw *used* to be *the* vector art app. And Harvard
Graphics was the presentation software at the time.. (IMHO)
