Introduction
============

This text file, "ReadMe!", contains last minute updates and other
useful and important information.  See the file called "Revisions"
on disk 3 for additions and bug fixes to DynaCADD.

  o CLI/Shell users need to use Stack 30000 before running DynaCADD.

  o Keyboard menu alternates use either [Alt] or [Amiga] key with the
    respective letter.

  o In order for the menus to drop down the mouse pointer needs to be
    in the menu bar area, otherwise the right-mouse button is used by
    DynaCADD for command completion.

  o The Install utility can also be used to update DynaCADD in
    your system.  Simply run Install and specify the destination.
    Install will copy only the files that have changed.  This means
    that when you copy DynaCADD files, make sure that you use the
    CLONE option with the CLI/Shell Copy command.

  o The Vector Font Editor and MakePlot utilities will be shipped to
    DynaCADD owners that have have sent in their registration cards.

Set buttons in Pen Indexes Dialog

  The "Set" buttons are only active during TRANSFORM MODIFY CHAPEN.
  They enable selective transformation of pen color, line weight, or

  Set buttons beside pen color and line weight are selected, only the
  color and weight attributes will be changed while retaining the
  previous line style.

  You can now UNDO layer, pen color, line style and line weight
  changes, as well as other TRANSFORM MODIFY commands.

Command History

  It is possible to clear the command history buffer.  Press the
  [Del] key while the Command History window is visible.

Bug Reports
===========

We have tested DynaCADD 1.84 and its functions very thoroughly,
although it is impossible, in this kind of application, to cover all
possibilities.  In the event that you discover functions that are not
working as they should, please advise us as soon as possible.

When you call or write, please give as much detail as possible and
the steps that led to the problem.  This will greatly assist our
development team in tracking down and fixing any remaining oversights.

Bug reports and any other feedback can also be sent electronically
via CompuServe, GEnie and BIX to the following accounts:

CompuServe  76004,2246
