README file on EDRAW distribution disk------------9/20/87------
WHAT IS EDRAW--------------------------------------------------
EDRAW - Easydraw - is an IBM PC based general purpose drawing
program designed for technical people like engineers, teachers
and students. Besides drawing lines, boxes, circles and
symbols, the USER-SUPPORTED program includes logic/electronic
symbols enabling a user to draw electronic circuits. The
program is ideal for drawing schematics, block diagrams,
flowcharts and features automatic panning.
EDRAW requires 384k of memory, a CGA or EGA graphic adapter,
supports most mice, and prints on Epson or compatible printers.
EDRAW requires users to install - explained below - the EDRAW
distribution disk onto a floppy or a hard drive using a simple
INSTALL procedure. The installed version - EDRAW working disk -
MAY NOT be distributed.
The steps to become a successful EDRAW user are:
____ Print the README file.
____ Install EDRAW on a floppy.
____ Run automated demonstrations EDEMO1 and EDEMO3.
____ Print the manual.
____ Step thru MANUAL TUTORIAL in the manual.
____ Draw and print your first drawing.
____ Order/register for the complete EDRAW package.
AUTOMATED DEMONSTRATION-------------------------------------
After installing EDRAW, a user can execute an automated
demonstration of EDRAW. The demonstrations are named Edemo1,
Edemo2.... To start a demonstration reboot computer to remove
all stay-resident drivers then
floppy user: insert installed disk into drive A
floppy user: A:<ret>
hard disk user: C:<ret> your hard disk drive
hard disk user: CD\EDRAW<ret>
EDEMO1 <ret>.
Press any key to advance past the copyright notice.
From the UTILITY menu, press CTRL O (the letter). Most of the
demonstration programs will pause - advance to the next frame
with the space bar only. To stop a demo depress CTRL, ALT,
DELETE and remove the disk.
