I also have xtexcad, but it is not the same. I cannot open
files
created with texcad in xtexcad. Actually, lines of arbitrary
slopes
are possible in texcad through emline specials. It was specific
to
emtex, an excellent distribution for MSDOS. Now, almost all the
dvi drivers I know support these specials. Dvips also supports
this. However,
xtexcad has problems with emlines specials. It cannot display
the lines
created with these special commands properly.
