Setup :

Place the directory To_BMP with all included files to any place of your hard disk. 
Copy to this directory files ALCHEMY.EXE and DOS4GW.EXE
If need, copy drivers files from DRV to Orcad driver directory, and PCB.CFG to project directory.
Copy *.PFG files from PFG\ directory to project or template directory.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to works :
**************
Load you own project to PCB386+

Place little hole more right and below of last object in your PCB. This needed that all BMP 
layers are afterwards got one size. <Place-Hole-[set mouse to coordinate]-Place>

Go to postprocessing menu, and generate print files with col_norm.pfg :
<Go To Function-Printing and Plotting-Load-[find and load col_norm.pfg file]-Ok-Ok-Begin All>
PCB386+ generate all necessary files automatically.

Leave PCB386+ editor.

Find all *.LAY files in project directory and move it to To_BMP directory.
Simple run !!START.BAT, wait short or long time. And pray... ;-))) 
I hopes, after converting you get:   

3C_MON.BMP	Color and size is optimized for display, zoom 0.6
3C_PRN.BMP	Color for printer, if print it 1:1 with resolution 300DPI, all be with really dimensions 
ASS.BMP	Assemble drawing - only components
CMP.BMP	Component side, mirrored, for Lazer-flatiron PCB home technology ;-)
CMP06.BMP	Component side, zoom 0.6
DRI.BMP	Drill diagram
DRI06.BMP	Drill diagram, zoom 0.6
SIL.BMP	Silkscreen, modules
SIL06.BMP	Silkscreen, zoom 0.6 
SOL.BMP	Solder side, mirrored, for Lazer-flatiron PCB home technology
SOL06.BMP	Solder side, zoom 0.6
SOLA.BMP	Solder side, normal

If this is not got, see, all correctly made, or not.
My english is not the best, ;-) but I hope, all be understand.

Good Luck !!!
