(operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. NT(R) 4.0 operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. . Right on the heels of Microsoft's launch of Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. 4.0, Intergraph is first out of the gate with a collection of wide-format printer A printer that prints on large paper, which can range from two to more than 15 feet in width. Such printers typically use inkjet technology to print on a variety of output, including premium glossy-coated paper for signs and posters. drivers for the new operating system. Intergraph worked closely with Microsoft designers to guarantee users will benefit from the improved performance and accessibility these drivers bring to their current output devices. "We take our role as a major software developer for Windows NT very seriously," said Dennis Sanders, director of Intergraph's Digital Imaging product center. "That's why technical professionals who seek the best options for the most popular wide-format plotters know they can expect us to lead such development." The popular wide-format plotters supported include those made by CalComp, ENCAD, Hewlett Packard, Oce and Xerox. In addition to keeping with a commitment to new versions of the Windows(R) operating system, Intergraph continues to add new features and printer drivers to its product offerings. For example, the ENCAD NovaJet 4, NovaJet Pro 36, NovaJet Pro 50, HP 350C and Oce 9400 printer drivers were added to the InterPlot Driver Pack. The upgraded driver products offer plenty of flexibility to users working on Windows(R) operating system. Windows(R) 95 and Windows NT applications can print to the devices the drivers support. These drivers, whether installed on Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT 3.51, can service printing requests from any Windows application A program that is written to run under Microsoft's Windows operating system. Such applications typically run under all 32-bit versions of Windows, but earlier applications might also run under the 16-bit versions (Windows 3.x) as well. See Windows. running on Windows for Workgroups A version of Windows 3.1 introduced in 1992 that added peer-to-peer networking. See Windows.

Intergraph's InterPlot drivers guarantee that users' plots will be produced. Most other printer drivers require massive plotter memory to produce complex plots. Even then, plotter memory can be exceeded, causing the plot to fail. Intergraph InterPlot drivers use the plotter's standard memory configuration, producing plots of any complexity, every time. These drivers support a wide variety of plotters and provide access to the plotters from all Windows applications. Once considered traditional engineering devices, plotters can now be used as enterprisewide printing and plotting solutions.
