      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.  To stop a demo depress CTRL, ALT, DELETE 
      and remove the disk.
      
      DOCUMENTATION----------------------------------------------
      
      The  DOS  command  COPY MANUAL.DOC PRN<ret> will print the EDRAW 
      users  manual.  A section in the manual - MANUAL TUTORIAL - will 
      take you step by step into EDRAW.
      
      
      FLOPPY USER INSTALLATION--------------------------------------
      
            Make  a  working  EDRAW  disk by first formatting a floppy 
            with  the  /S  option.  The /S option will place a copy of 
            DOS on the disk. 
            
            Insert  the  EDRAW  distribution disk into drive A and the  
            formatted disk into drive B and enter:
            
            A: <ret>
            FLINSTAL <ret>
      
      
      HARD DISK USER INSTALLATION-----------------------------------
      
            The  following  steps  will  create an EDRAW sub-directory 
            and several symbol sub-directories on a hard drive.
            
            Insert  the  EDRAW disk  into drive A and type [HDINSTAL x 
            ret].  The x indicates the fixed drive name.  (Do not type 
            a colon after the drive name.)
            
            To run the program enter:
            CD\EDRAW ret
            EDRAW ret
