                              Designe/CMD
              A graphic screen design aid for programmers.
                         Copyright : Mel Patrick


Designe will allow screen displays to be completely designed and exported
to BASIC or ASSEMBLER programs. This will greatly speed up the usual chore
of screen design and make your screen displays look professional.

Using the program is fairly easy and I will not elaborate on the commands
other than what are listed in the table of contents at the end of this
document.

This program is NOT public domain but shareware. Which means you get to try
it BEFORE you buy it. If you intend on using the program you are encouraged
to support the shareware concept and register by sending $15.00 to :

Mel Patrick : 13699 70A Ave. : Surrey, B.C. : Canada : V3W 2J8

For your support, you will received the latest version and a printed
manual.

Included in this ARC file are 3 files which show how designe/cmd can be
used in either BASIC or ASSEMBLER programming. The DESIGNE title page was
created with DESIGNE as well.

EXAMPLE/ASM - is an assembly listing of the DESIGNE title screen without
              line numbers (ASCII).
EXAMPLE1/ASM - is the title screen again but this time with line numbers.
EXAMPLE/BAS - is a BASIC program which will display the title screen.

If you do not foresee yourself using this program, please pass it along to
other Model IV users so that they may make an evaluation for themselves.

Thanks, Mel.
