Wow, what a summer it has been so far!! This has been one of the first times I have been available to answer e-mails. There has been a bunch of questions pertaining to the location of the Visual Font Creator for Autocad R.14 and the XSHP program. These programs can be found at http://www.cadsyst.com/fonts.html
For those of you who don't remember what these programs do, I will paste the information here.

Visual Font Creator will greatly simplify the creation of new fonts and the editing of existing fonts. You trace over a character template within AutoCad by simply picking points, and Visual Font Creator will write the shape definition for you! Save yourself hours of frustration.

XSHP:
Explodes AutoCAD text or shape entities into polylines
Shape descriptions are read from ASCII .shp files
Xshp will explode any text or shape entity except ones using a Big Font
Xshp supports widths, oblique angles, thicknesses
under/over scores and other special characters.

Again, thanks to all, hope that you are having a productive and error free shopbot summer!! Back to work!!
