DESCRIPTION
Symbol Designs is a personal computer designing package. It is intended
to aid the computer enthusiast in creating presentable and professional looking
designs. It was not designed to be a full featured Desk Top Publisher, nor was
it designed to merely be a greeting card creation program. What Symbol Designs
was created for was to provide a solution to the people who find themselves
wishing for something that is located between the two extremes.
During the creation of Symbol Designs, We have tried to maintain an
easy to use and easy to learn profile. This version of Symbol Designs has been
provided to you with the understanding that you acknowledge and abide by the
current copyright laws. To encourage registration, this version of Symbol
Designs has a few key features disabled. If during the use of the program you
encounter some functions that don't seem to do anything or that don't seem to
do what you expect them to do, it is because that function has been altered.
When you register, you will recieve the up to date version with no
limitations as well as some features not presented or documented within this
version.
The font files presented with this version of Symbol Designs were
converted from the Apple Macintosh. With the registration you will recieve the
converter program to convert your own font files. With this capability, the
number of font files available to Symbol Designs numbers in the hundreds. Not
counting the font files that you and others like you create and share.
We have also included a list of some of the features that are in the
process of being added to the next version of Symbol Designs. This next version
will only be made available to registered users.
1. Mouse/Joystick support
2. Background printing
3. Dual hold areas for cutting and pasting
4. User selectable scaling
5. User selectable rotation
6. User selectable zoom features
7. Full editing in zoom modes
8. Full text editing features
Along with these and other features, we will also try to include any
changes or additions requested by registered users.
We hope you find Symbol Designs useful and with your help we hope to
make Symbol Designs the best shareware design application avaliable.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Wood
