Need Help Calling all Anagraph users

Hi all, Years ago I ran an Anagraph XL-5 sprocket fed vinyl cutter. It has been in the attic for a long time.
I've got a client who orders 6-10k small shapes at a time. My friction plotter wanders during long runs, even when set to go slowly. The XL-5 plotter would be perfect for these long runs. It runs on a win98 computer which I have. I've loaded Anagraph 3.5 but there is a file missing. Can anyone email me a copy of an( excel-V .ini ) file? It would be in signart 3 or 3.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, John

There is even more software for Anagraph XL-5 that supports Windows 10, 8, 7, XP, Vista.

Depending on if the older program is 16 or 32 bit, it may work in a newer 32 bit (if it's 16 bit) and/or 64 bit (if it's 32 bit) OS. May or may not need compatibility mode, some do, some don't.

May be worth a shot. Usually on older software, I'll either try that or VM the needed OS on a newer computer. If sticking with the older program is the needed solution.

Why in Windows 98! You can run your Anagraph XL-5 in Windows 10, 8.7, xp if you want.
I spoke with Viet Lee, the owner of APD Devices, (formerly Anagraph) he told me the XL-5 plotter wouldn't run on any software newer than win98. I have XP & 7 and can't make it run. My biggest problem is that the XL-5 ini file is missing from the old software so the computer can't see the plotter.

Thanks for your reply, what software are you speaking of?

This software supports the following Anagraph modes for Windows 10, 8, 7, XP, Vista.
