Snowflake Designer - V1.0
Author: Keith Rule
EMail: Keith.D.Rule@email.hub.tek.com

This is a MS-Windows program that allows the creation of
3d models that look like snowflakes. These models can be
viewed, and then saved as DXF, or RAW files.

Many of the parameters that influence the creation of the
snowflake model can be changes by the user by selecting the 
Options|Options... menu command, and then editing the 
approprate parameters in the dialog box.

Command Summary:

        File|New        - Gets a new random seed and draws the new 
                          snowflake.

        File|Save As... - Allows the snowflake model to be saved as
                          either a 3d DXF file or a 3d RAW file.

        File|Exit       - Exits the program

        File|About...   - Displays the About dialog box.

        Options|Options... - Displays the Options dialog box.

                Seed:   - This field displays the current random seed.
                          The default value is always 0.

                Level:  - The number of recursion levels used when creating
                          the snowflake model. Two levels is fine in most
                          cases.

                Arms:   - The number of arms in the snowflake. The values
                          1 - 10 are allowed

                Sides:  - The number of sides for each of the snowflake
                          solids (the values of 3 - 10 are allowed).

                Z Depth:- Specifies the z thickness of an solid object
                          at each Level:. The thickness if calculated
                          as follows: (1.0 + ZDepth*Level)*Height*YZRatio/100.
                          A value of 0.0 makes all the levels the same
                          z depth.

                Offset: - This value moves the objects out by the offset
                          value. This value is in screen coordinates.

                X/Y Ratio-Makes the objects thinner or fatter.

                Y/Z Ratio-Makes the objects thicker or thinner.
