VeCAD is a vector graphics library. It can be used as a 
multi-purpose drafting tool or as a base for your own 
specialized drawing applications (CAD/GIS). 
The library is realized as both a run-time Windows 32 bit DLL
and an OCX. They can be used with applications written in the 
popular Visual IDE languages such as Visual Basic, Delphi, 
C++ Builder and Visual C++.

The VeCAD package also includes a powerful CAD editor in 
executable form, based entirely on the VeCAD engine. Use this 
application to visualize your own project's possibilities!
