DRAW! version 1.75 -- release 2
The files:
ASPECT.PIC a sample picture to help explain aspect ratios for circles
CIRCLE.PIC a sample picture to help explain arc from/to for circles
DRAW!.BAS the BASICA file if you want to run DRAW! interpreted
DRAW!.DOC the manual (you'll want to read this one)
DRAW!.EXE the compiled version of DRAW!.BAS
QUIKSTRT.DOC a little help to get you up and going on your first picture
READ.ME this file
The manual to DRAW!, DRAW!.DOC, is a plain ASCII file, and can best be
printed with the DOS command copy DRAW!.DOC lpt1: This simply copies
the file to device LPT1: (if you you are using some printer other
than parallel printer port 1, be sure to specify that, i.e. copy
DRAW!.DOC lpt2: or whatever).
If you're impatient to get started, print the file QUIKSTRT.DOC, and
get into DRAW! This file will help you get into the program, and
teach you some of the basic commands. Hopefully, it will also make
you want to read the manual!
DRAW! was originally written in ITT Advanced BASIC version 2.00. This
version, the second release and zillionth or so update, was the first
to be compiled, namely in Turbo BASIC. It's probably not as fast as it
could be because I simply compiled the straight spaghetti code BASICA
file, rather than learning the structured Turbo BASIC language. It's
still a LOT faster than interpreted, however.
