	This disk is freely distributable.  Give it (do NOT sell it)
to someone you like.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
	This is version 1.2.2 of mCAD, a shareware object-oriented drawing
program.  If you use this program, I'd like you to send a donation of
$20 to (me):

	Tim Mooney
	120 Purefoy Rd.
	Chapel Hill NC 27514

   Sending the donation renders you a registered user and entitles you to
the source code, updates, and support.  If you want me to send the source,
the latest version, or anything else that requires mailing you a disk,
please send either a blank disk or an additional $5. 

	If you use mCAD and DON'T send a donation, you can discharge your
moral obligation to me by writing/creating something USEFUL on the Amiga and
releasing it into the public domain.  If you can't do either of these things
then I feel pretty bad for you and hope your situation improves.

					Sincerely,
					Tim Mooney	3/11/87

   Contents of this disk:

      mCAD        - the executable

      mCAD.doc    - documentation

      mCAD.rgb    - the color map read by mCAD at startup.  This file is
                  over-written by mCAD when the user selects "Save Colors"
                  from the "Color" menu.

      mCAD.txt    - the text font used by mCAD.  This is not an Amiga font;
                  it is not a bit-mapped font, but a line-drawn one.
   

      OptoDAC.cad - a sample mCAD file.

      part        - a subdirectory of mCAD files useable as parts (or as
		  drawings.)

      readme      - this file.

      sendplt     - a script file to be "Execute"ed.  This is used to send
                  plotter files to a plotter.  This file only works for
                  single-pen plotter files (files created in response to a
                  "..1 Pen" selection from the "Project" menu.)  For
                  multi-pen plotter files, simply copy the file to ser:.
                  

      stage.cad   - a sample mCAD file.

      voltage_to_frequency.cad
                  - a large sample mCAD file.  This file is near the limit
                  of what a 512K Amiga (running the current version of mCAD
                  and nothing else) can handle.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Since the demo version of mCAD was distributed, I have modified two
programs, which I had previously placed into the public domain, so that they
can write mCAD input files.  The programs are:

	mp -	A program which extracts data from a text file and plots it
		on a hires screen.  This is a pretty capable plotting
		program which allows for line and point plots with error
		bars.  Also the program is good at telling the difference
		between text and data; you can, for example, plot the
		content of tables of data in a report. 
		
	tdp - 	A program which makes 3-D plots of data with hidden-line
		removal, user-defined view point, etc. 

The above two programs are still in the public domain, of course.
