FLODRAW Update: Version 2.25          June, 1992

(This update is provided free to all FLODRAW 2.2 registered 
users.  All other users are urged to register.)

It's been well over a year since the release of version 2.2.  
This update is the accumulation of enhancements and fixes to 
problems reported by users.  The update disk contains two 
program files: FLODRAW.EXE (version 2.25) and PLOPCX.EXE 
(version 1.2).  These are the only files that have changed 
with this release.

Here is the list of the enhancements and fixes provided in 
version 2.25.

    New option to change printer port.  This option was   
    provided for network users.  Only the following printers
    can use this option:  HP Deskjet/LaserJet, Epson FX/MX
    and Star Gemini.  All other printers use LPT1.  If you
    have on of these printers, you can use this option to 
    toggle the printer port between LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3.
    Select F8 (Change Setup Options) at the entry menu, then 
    F (misc. printer options), and F4 (printer port.)

    Fix print problem using HP LaserJet with network print 
    spoolers. FLODRAW will now work with most network print 
    spoolers

    Fix print problem with HP Deskjet 500.  The HP Deskjet
    500 would sometimes skip lines when using the HP 
    LaserJet printer driver.  A separate printer driver has 
    been added for the HP DeskJet to correct this problem

    Fix text display problems when using MS-DOS 5.0 with a 
    different country code (a problem for some European 
    users.)

    Fix problems with the directory display on the entry 
    menu.  This problem was only apparent if you had several 
    hundred files in your directory.

    Fix problem preventing landscape selection when creating 
    a new diagram.  Some users got a help screen instead of 
    landscape selection.

    New version of FLOPCX (FLOPCX 1.2) converts FLODRAW 
    files to black and white PCX files to avoid problems 
    importing four color files into some desktop publishing 
    programs.  The two color files have a CGA screen  
    resolution of 640X200.  The four color conversion is   
    still retained as an optional parameter.

The programs on the update disk replace the programs you are 
currently using.  Rename the old programs and use the DOS 
COPY command to copy the new programs to your directory as 
shown below.

    Rename your current version of FLORAW.EXE to FLODRAW.OLD

    Rename your current version of FLOPCS.EXE to FLOPCX.OLD

    Put the update disk in your floppy drive.

    Use the DOS Copy command to copy the programs to your 
FLODRAW directory.  For example, if your FLODRAW directory 
is on drive C: and the directory is called \FLO, and your 
floppy is in drive A:, your copy commands would look like 
this:

    A>COPY FLODRAW.EXE C:\FLO
    A>COPY FLOPCX.EXE C:\FLO

This completes the update.
