If installation instructions have been provided separately, please follow them. If you downloaded this software from an on-line service you should unzip any .ZIP files into a new directory (eg. TREEDRAW) on your hard disk. If you are installing both TreeDraw and Kith and Kin it is helpful to install them into the same directory. Run TREEDRAW.EXE from the File Manager or create a new program item in the Program Manager and double click on the TreeDraw icon. You can launch TreeDraw from a Chart File (.TDR) if you have associated .TDR files with TREEDRAW.EXE in the File Manager. The program (.EXE), help (.HLP) and options (.OPT/.OP2/.INI) files must all reside in the same directory. The files BWCC.DLL and SS_DATE.DLL should reside in either the TREEDRAW or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directories or in another directory in your PATH. Since BWCC.DLL is a common DLL you may already have it on your system in which case you need only one copy available. Make sure that the copies you have on your system are the same version as those on the release disk. New features, enhancements and bug fixes ---------------------------------------- (see the on-line help for a complete list) Version 1.2 - November 1996 --------------------------- User-defined fields from Kith and Kin can now be imported. GEDCOM tags may be assigned to the two user-defined fields to import additional data. Divorce details can now be imported from Kith and Kin and GEDCOM. GEDCOM input now compatible with "standard" V5.5. View at 1/8th magnification added. A word-wrap width may now be set to turn long lines of text (eg. notes) into a block. New speed import command to import from the previous tree file. New Link Filenames command changes the tree link filenames for an entire chart. Page breaks, toolbox and colour palette display settings saved between sessions. Compatible with Kith and Kin V3.1 .TRE files. Kith and Kin V3.1+ files with objects are imported faster. Shape of the toolbox changed. Can now be moved in Win95. WIN95 fed a blank page at the end of each printout - fixed. Editing a text element and clicking on the Text Tool caused a crash - fixed. Long lines were not being printed on some printers - fixed. The on-screen display was not being reset when using File|New - fixed. TreeDraw crashed when a Text Update had been done which resulted in an empty text element - fixed. Registration ------------ This product is SHAREWARE. The version on this release disk is a fully functional evaluation copy which you may install and use free of charge for 30 days. After that time, if you wish to continue using the program you must become a registered user. Details of how to register are available in the on-line help.
