1 Introduction
Welcome to Mdraw, an object-oriented drawing package for MS-Windows.
This program is object-oriented in the sense that the objects you draw 
may be moved or modified after you draw them.  This is not a painting
program, but rather a drawing program.  You do not 'erase' parts of your
drawing, but you can select and then delete the parts you have drawn.
This is also object-oriented in the sense that each object has attributes
that you may modify.  For example, each object you draw has a color, and you 
may change that color after you have drawn it.  You may also 'join' multiple
objects together to create a new object (which can be unjoined later).

1.1 Features:
	Toolbar/Pallete
	Drawing Tools - box, ellipse, polygon, text
	Linestyles, Fill colors, Text colors, Text formats, Fonts, Font sizes
	Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete
	Join, Unjoin
	Move, Resize
	Snap Grid
	Link an object to another Mdraw file. (aka Hyperlinks)
	Attach a note to an object & edit it with NOTEPAD.EXE
	Picture Export - CGM, WMF (placeable & fixed)
	Picture Import - CGM (somewhat)
	Printing (also from command line via parameter '/p')


1.2 Current Limitations (which I'm working on fixing...):
Major:
	Can't edit polygons after creation (can only resize)
	No bitmaps.
	Doesn't use the 'clipboard' to import text or bitmaps.
	CGM import/export not as truly portable as it should be.

Minor:	
	No import of other file formats (v0.2f has CGM import)
	Only 16 colors
	No fill patterns
	Text background is always transparent
	Partial True Type font support (doesn't identify bold & italic fontnames)
	Fixed size snap grid
	No horizontal scroll bar
	Zoom in/out not quite perfected.
