QFIG (Ver.1.1a : 3/24/1997) QFIG is a DOS graphics program for LaTeX for use on IBM Compatible PCs. This is a version of the NEC PC9801 qfig 0.9c for IBM/J-3100 PCs. The NEC version was written by MR T. Iwakuma (bear@hashi1.civil.tohoku.ac.jp) and modified for IBM/J-3100 PCs using Quick-Basic. This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it at will, however, if you make modifications/bug fixes to this program, please contact me first for redistribution to prevent many different versions from appearing all over at the same time and also to keep other users up to date with improvements to QFIG.

REQUIREMENTS: You will need Qbasic version 4.5 or compatible program to run this source code. If you are using Qbasic 4.5, you can start the program using "qfsrc.bat". To run it in, you might have to reduce the following two parameters in QFIG.BI to have sufficient memory to run the source code in Qbasic: nobjmax% and nodemax% GENERAL COMMENTS: The source code is mainly that from the original NEC version with modifications by me for improvements and for it to run on IBM Compatible PCs.. I apologize for the fact that it is somewhat complicated to follow and there are portions of code remaining which are actually not utilized in the program. I am sorry, I couldn't make the time to make the source code more presentable. Questions and Comments: I will be able to provide very little help to you so I strongly recommend that you try by yourself to understand how the program works in order to modify it as you wish. Thank you for your consideration, and I will be very grateful if you send me information about changes you make.
