- README.1 This is the README file from DISK 1 of a 2 disk set.
-
- This is a short text file that describes FLODRAW, lists the files on DISK
- 1, and tells you how to use the 10 minute tutorial.
-
- FLODRAW is a 'what-you-see-is-what-you-get' graphics editor that produces
- black and white full page diagrams on an IBM PC or compatible computer.
- FLODRAW has been designed to handle symbols quickly and easily. It is ideal
- for documents such as flocharts, organization charts, system diagrams, and
- other symbol oriented documents. FLODRAW is keyboard controlled only.
-
- FLODRAW combines text and graphics on the document. The program is
- equipped with basic graphics editing for lines and circles, in addition to
- pixel editing. Automatic generation of lines and arrows supports diagrams like
- flocharts.
-
- FLODRAW comes with symbol libraries for flow charts, HIPO charts, and
- electric diagrams. You can design your own symbols, save them, and combine
- them into new libraries, or add them to existing libraries.
-
- FLODRAW documents can be saved, printed, and re-edited. All FLODRAW
- document files are condensed to take up a minimum amount of space on your disk.
- FLODRAW supports three sizes of documents.
-
- 1. Standard 8.5 x 11
- 2. Sideways 8.5 x 11
- 3. Big 11 x 16 (printed on two 8.5 x 11)
-
- FLODRAW requires:
-
- - An IBM PC, XT, AT, or close compatible.
-
- - 320k of memory.
-
- - A color graphics adapter with either a color or black and
- white monitor. FLODRAW does not support the EGA.
-
- - DOS 2.0 or later.
-
- - EPSON MX or FX printer. The FX is recommended for
- speed.
-
-
- Files included on DISK 1:
-
- FLODRAW.EXE is the FLODRAW program.
- SYMBOL.LIB is the default FLODRAW symbol library. It is
- distributed as a copy of the FLOCHART library.
- DEMO is the document used as a FLODRAW tutorial.
- README.1 is what you're reading.
-
-
- Please take the 10 minute tutorial before trying FLODRAW. Although I've
- tried to make the program as intuitive as possible, you will need some guidance
- on your first trip into FLODRAW. The tutorial was designed to show you how to
- use most of the features in 10 minutes or less. After the tutorial, you'll be
- able to try FLODRAW on your own.
-
- Taking the tutorial is easy.
-
- 1. Put this disk (DISK 1) in drive A.
- 2. At the A> prompt, type FLODRAW DEMO and press carriage return.
- 3. Follow the instructions on DEMO.
