KwikDraw - An Object Oriented Drawing Program
Freeware Version 1.21
Copyright 1991, 1992 Paul Schimpf

This drawing program, unlike a paint program, is object oriented.  This
means that after drawing objects (such as rectangles, ellipses, lines,
text, curves, or polygons), you have the ability to select and modify them
as independent entities.  In a paint program an object, once it is drawn,
loses it's identity as an independent entity.  Any editing capability in a
paint program must thus treat all the objects as mere patterns of bits on
the drawing surface.

KwikDraw has extensive on-line help that describes its use.

This is a Freeware version of KwikDraw.  IT IS FREE.  This Freeware version
will limit the number of objects that you may create to 35.  This limit is 
high enough to make the program useful (for example, see the file flow.kwk).
You are also allowed to load more extensive drawings so that you can view, 
transfer, and print the more complex example drawings (such as train.kwk).
If 35 objects is sufficient for your purposes, then you are free to use and
distribute this version, on the condition that none of the files included 
in the distribution is modified in any way.  You may also purchase a 
registered version of KwikDraw by writing (use the handy order form in 
order.txt), calling, or sending a request via electronic mail (see below).
The current price is $31.95 plus $3.00 Shipping in the U.S. and Canada 
($6.00 overseas), and $3.00 for C.O.D. (prices subject to change).  
REGISTERED USERS WILL BE UPGRADED WITH BUG FIXES FREE OF CHARGE.  Please 
note that the unrestricted version of KwikDraw is NOT Freeware, and may NOT 
be distributed to others - it uses the executable filename "kwikdraw.exe", 
whereas the Freeware version uses the filename "kdraw_fw.exe".

Revision History:

1.00  03-09-92  Original Release.
1.01  04-07-92  Must now point close to a Line object to select it.
                Added optional Polygon termination on right button.
                Detects drawing changes to avoid annoying questions.
1.10  04-14-92  Text Objects now allow multiple lines.
                Comprehensive Undo, Redo added.
                Text objects will now rotate.
1.11  04-16-92  Text can now be edited three ways:  from Edit Menu,
                by double-clicking it, or by selecting it and pressing
                the right mouse button.
1.20  05-08-92  Added Color to Line Styles and Fill Patterns.
                Added Arrowhead Style options.
                Can now add Raster Font text objects in zoom modes
                less than 100%.
1.21  05-28-92  Added Constrain mode for drawing and resizing objects.
                Added Printer Selection from File Menu.
                Added Selectable drawing sizes.
                Can View Clipboard from Edit Menu (see Help on General
                Topics for extensive hints on transferring drawings
                to other applications using the Clipboard).
                Significant improvements in selection logic:  Transparent
                objects can now be selected only by pointing at their
                boundaries (this helps a lot when trying to select objects
                underneath).  Also, Arcs and Open Polygons are now selected
                similar to Lines (i.e. you must point at the line) and
                you must be inside the boundary of a filled object to
                select it (even irregularly shaped objects like Closed
                Polygons).  If you were ever irritated by selecting a
                Chord or Polygon when you didn't want to, this will fix it.
