- -------------------------------
-
- ScreenDraw is package that includes three programs: ScreenDraw (SD.EXE),
- ScreenShow (SS.EXE) and SEE.COM.
-
- ScreenDraw (SD.EXE) is a screen editor for designing colorful menus for
- batch files and for making presentations. It's supported with colors and all
- ASCI characters. It has line and box drawing capabilities. Screen files are
- saved with the extension (.SCR).
-
- ScreenShow (SS.EXE) is a presentation system. You can use it to arrange
- the screen files created by ScreenDraw and to display them in a continuous
- manner. Each group of screen files can be saved in a presentation file
- with the extension (.SHW). You can load this file at any time, modify it,
- and play it. You control the way the screen file is displayed and the time
- the file is to remain displayed on the screen before the next one replaces
- it. Ten Display effects are supported. You can also create animation files
- (try the sample file ANIMATE.SHW, you need to run the self-extraction file
- SAMPLE.EXE first).
-
- SEE.COM is a handy utility that displays the screen files created by
- ScreenDraw. It displays the file, waits for a keystroke and returns the
- errorlevel of the key pressed. This is very useful in enhancing batch
- files with colorful screens. Please see the sample MENU.BAT file and feel
- free to edit it and run it in your system.
-
- SAMPLE.EXE is a self-extarction file that contains some show files for
- ScreenShow together with their supporting screen files.

- Regsitered users will receive software updates at no extra charge.
- In addition, if interested they will receive a utility that generates Turbo C
- source code for each screen file they make. Programmers can then merge this
- source file with their Turbo C programs (Please see the PCPIANO.EXE
- which is developed with the help of ScreenDraw v1.0, this program is for the
- public domain, so enjoy using it freely). I am working on enabling the utility
- to generate Turbo Pascal source code.
