This DEMO of WEAVE For Windows is released to the public and may be
distributed and copied freely.
WEAVE for Windows (version 1.1)
WEAVE for Windows 1.1 is now available! WEAVE for Windows is a
weavers drawdown program for the Microsoft Windows operating system.
It operates with a mouse and allows the user to design drafts and
quickly see the results of threading, treadling, tieup, and color
changes.
WEAVE for Windows 1.1 has the following capabilities;
- Threading repeats and threading color repeats up to 1024 long
- Treadling repeats and treadling color repeats up to 768 long
- Choice of 4, 8, 10, 12, and 16 shafts
- Ten levels of magnification
- A very large selection of colors
- "Show Reverse Side" viewing option
- Drawdown printouts with or without the draft (via printer
installed through Windows)
- A handy 'Project Planner' that will estimate materials and costs
for a project.
- WEAVE for Windows can take advantage of Microsoft Windows ability
to "cut & paste" from one application to another. For example,
paste copies of your drawdown directly into your word processor.
WEAVE for Windows 1.1 requires Microsoft's Windows 3.X (in Enhanced
mode) to operate. A VGA display is recommended and the 800 X 600
resolution seems to provide the best results (WEAVE has NOT been
tested on non-VGA displays). A 24 pin printer (or better
resolution) is also strongly recommended.
Purchasers of WEAVE for Windows are eligible for free upgrades for a
one year period following purchase.
A DEMO (with some functions disabled) of WEAVE for Windows 1.1 is
available on Compuserve in the Weaving forum (GO CRAFTS).
Place your order by filling out the order form (order.txt) and
mailing the form and your money order to ShuttleWorks.
DEMO Installation Instructions
"wv_demo.exe" is a self extracting file. Copy "wv_demo.exe" to any
desired sub-directory on your hard drive. Run "wv_demo.exe" and it
will automatically de-compress all the required files. Next, run
Microsoft Windows and install WEAVE For Windows (demo11.exe) via
the 'File - New' command. Now you should be able to find the
'WEAVE' icon in the Windows group you installed it into. Simply
double click on the icon to start the DEMO. (NOTE: Some features
have been disabled in the DEMO)
