                 IMPROVEMENTS TO PC-KEY-DRAW ver. 3.33 over 3.2

The following list the more major changes.  Numerous other minor changes have
been made that are not listed. (in particular bug fixes, and speed increases)

1. 3.22 provides full access to all DOS drives A-Z for use with Networks or
   the SUBST command.
2. Select alternate method of indicating the amount of zoom. Select </> or < >
   when asked for scale factor to put in zoom factor.  Scale factors greater
   than 1 shrink the screen or object, while factors less than one expand the
   screen or object.  Zoom factors greater than 1 expand the screen or
   object, while factors less than one shrink the screen or object.
3. Multiple arrows in the same direction can be Entered with <ENTER> after the
   first one is defined with <F2 Alt-a> or <F2 a>.

1. 3.23 improves then main menu for mouse selection of functions.
2. Several minor speed improvements have been made.
3. Time and Date can be displayed on the screen for those who like to watch
   the clock or for use in demos and slide shows. (You asked for it!)
4. The top row of numbers can be programmed as screen positions.  Position
   the cursor as desired, select <Ctrl-j>ump or <Ctrl-ENTER> and then <Alt-#>
   where # is a number from 0 to 9. The screen positioned is now remembered on
   disk for future use.  At any time select <Alt-#> to jump to the position.
5. <u>pdate of screen 1 and <U>pdate of screen 2 have been changed, they will
   no longer keep the help menu on the drawing if it is currently displayed.

1. 3.24 allows KD-DRAW to be used as a RUNTIME module for easier distribution
   of slide show macros that you create. If KD-DRAW.HLP (the help file) is not
   found on the disk KD-DRAW only allows macros to be run.  Exiting or ending
   the macro automatically returns to DOS.  Only KD-DRAW.EXE and KD-DRAW.TXT
   are needed, plus any files called by the macro of course. If KD-DRAW.DFT
   (the configuration file) is not found KD assumes that files are located on
   the program disk, help menu is off, and medium resolution.
2. A DOS based menu system has been added to the program to make using it for
   the first time a little easier.  Enter MENU at the DOS prompt to display
   your options.  Under general use KD.BAT will be the only BATch file you use.
   You should modify KD.BAT to meet your needs for printing and a mouse.
   PC-KEY-DRAW can always be called from DOS with KD-DRAW.

1. 3.25 eliminates the need for EGA.MCR when running on an EGA equipped PC.
2. Page scrolling has been sped up considerably if no additions have been made
   to a particular page. (ie. no functions selected)

1. 3.26 adds a third library disk with extra fonts including Modern, Roman,
   Old English, Century, Script, and several others for 16 total.
2. The font handling has been significantly improved so that the user has full
   control over character and word spacing.  Larger fonts can also be handled.

1. 3.27 provides more information on the prompt line making learning and using
   PC-KEY-DRAW easier.  Caps Lock, Num Lock, <Q>uality, and <i>sometric status
   are displayed.  PC-KEY-DRAW is designed to be very case sensitive. If a "C"
   or "N" is flashing the program may not operate properly.  The line width is
   also displayed as a number. When a macro is being recorded "k" is displayed.

2. When a directory is displayed for a drive it is temporarily retained as the
   default drive, making file selection easier.  Hard Disk users should use
   DOS 3.* and the SUBST command for optimum operation.
3. Hot keys can now be defined for fast access to macros.  Shft-F1 to Shft-F8,
   Ctrl-F1 to Ctrl-F10, and Alt-F1 to Alt-F9 can be set to call commonly used
   macros.  The Hot key definition file and instructions for its use are
   include on the font disk.
4. KD-LASER.EXE which prints to an HP LaserJet has been greatly improved.
5. A fourth library disk has been added to the registration package and
   includes several more fonts.  In addition many text related macros are now
   supplied to perform automatic bold, overlay, shadow and other effects.

1. 3.28 speeds up <F5 s>trip by about 7X and <F5 S>hift by about 10X.
   <S>hift has also been added to the fill pattern selection screen, thus
   allowing any of the 640 patterns to be in any color combination.  Both
   strip and shift are now also available in high resolution.
2. <F1 M>mirror screen <v>ertical line has been sped up as well by a factor of
   8X earlier versions.

1. 3.29 adds ability to REName files using <F8 K>.
2. A number of minor speed increases have been made.

1. 3.3 adds b-spline curves allowing freeform curves to be easily created from
   the keyboard.  Select <F3 b> and <ENTER> the various points to be included.
   Selecting any function key (1-8) will turn the entered points into a curve.
   Width of the line is controlled by <w>idth.
2. <F6 l>ine has been improved when using line width.  Redraw of line is also
   much faster.

1. 3.31 improves menu structure, providing more information for arrow, text
   justify, box shade and key macro.
2. Help menu for novice mode can be shrunk for increased screen space by
   entering number >1 for Novice mode in Status screen.
3. Width of polygon and box shade is now effected by the <w>idth command.
4. <F2 R> works with width.
5. The TANDY 1000 keyboard is now supported for cursor movement from # pad.
6. The <h>elp screens have been improved with more info and much faster read
   from disk. 20 help screens are available.
7. A High resolution color graphics mode for composite monitors with 16 colors.

1. 3.32 allows the KD-DRAW.HOT file to be libraried with the macros it calls to
   take less disk space.  Create KD-DRAW.HOT pointer file then run MAKHOTLB.EXE
   to MAKe HOTkey LiBrary file. KD-DRAW.HOT now supplied on program disk.
2. Other HOT key files can be set as desired from <Alt-k f>unction.

1. 3.33 adds a reverse video command for animated objects.  During animation
   select <v> to get a reverse video of the object.
2. The screen origin can be set with <Ctrl-x>.  The origin is the 0,0 location
   of the drawing. (Useful for mechanical drawing.)

                                     ENJOY!
