This drawing program, unlike a paint program, is object oriented.  This
means that after drawing objects (such as rectangles, ellipses, lines,
text, curves, polygons, or splines), 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.  Read the on-line Help for more
information about how to use KwikDraw (including how to embed bitmaps
if you prefer painting to drawing).

This is a Freeware version of KwikDraw.  IT IS FREE.  This Freeware
version will limit the number of objects that you draw to 32.  This limit
is high enough to make the program useful for simple drawings.  You are
also allowed to fully manipulate the example drawings.  Feel free to use
and distribute this version, on the condition that none of the included
files is modified in any way.  You may also purchase a commercial 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 $29.95 plus $3.00 Shipping in the U.S. and Canada 
($4.00 overseas), and $3.00 for C.O.D. (prices subject to change). 
Personal checks are acceptable.  

REGISTERED USERS WILL BE UPGRADED WITH BUG FIXES FREE OF CHARGE.  
REGISTERED USERS ARE ALSO ENTITLED TO UPGRADES FOR $14.95, PLUS THE 
NORMAL SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEE.  Please note that the commercial 
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:

3.00  11-10-96  The revision list is starting over because version 3.00
                is a complete rewrite since version 2.02. It is written
                in C++, and is OLE compatible as both a client or a server
                (this means you can embed other application objects into
                a KwikDraw drawing, or embed KwikDraw drawings into other
                applications). Some other features that are new since 2.02 
                are: a multiple document interface, rulers, triangular as
                well as rectangular grids, more control over the drawing
                size, drawing units in cm or in, print preview, and more.
3.01  12-07-96  The Constrain option (Arrange Menu) was not constraining 
                the line angle while drawing Polygons.  It was also not
                behaving correctly when resizing a Polygon (when the
                Edit Control Points mode was off).  This has been fixed.
                The Installation routine (INSTALL.EXE) was improved and
                MFCOLEUI.DLL is installed if not present on the machine.
3.02  03-07-97  Some OLE2 DLLs were added to the distribution disk. This
                only affects user's who had no other OLE2 aware 
                applications installed prior to installing KwikDraw.
