ScapeMaker 3.0 is so completely rewritten that you should either -

1.  Try the program and simply find that it is completely intuitive  OR
2.  Try the program and use the manual as a guide to its operation

There is no short way to go over all the changes, but here are a few:

1.  SM3.0 has its own screen with pushbutton interface and TWO visible
    landscape buffer/display regions.

2.  Some of the names of functions are changed for clarity only (e.g.
    
	the MakeDEM function used to be called GRAB
	the Region  function used to be called SET AREA
	the X (constant for addition) value used to be called MESA

3.  The 3 user interfaces (menus, buttons, and ARexx) are completely
    consistent.  That means when you push a button its corresponding
    menu item gets checkmark set or removed appropriately, and vice versa.

4.  You can now make and use VistaPro LARGE DEMs.  Just press the 514x514
    DEM size button or use the 514x514 menu option or SIZE 514 ARexx command.
    
5.  There is no explicit Double Expose Mode.  Because you can simply
    add any two DEMs together, there's no need for Double Expose as a
    separate Mode. 

6.  You can generate any linear combination of two DEM files including
    the ones you create.  By using Clear, Make, AddDEM, SubDEM, Add X,
    Sub X, Scale, and UnScale, you can generate any 

		RESULTDEM = S * ANYDEM + X

    where S is the Scale factor and X the constant level.  This
    represents a big jump in general DEM combination functions in
    SM3.0 compared to the limited ones in SM2.0.

7.  The program now utilizes the 2.04 ASL file requester IF you're:

	a.  running 2.x and asl.library is in libs:  OR
	b.  running a 1.3/2.x rom switcher and asl13.library is in libs:

    On a stock 1.3 machine, the program uses the MegageM file requester.

8.  This program should run correctly on an A4000.  I'd like feedback
    on this!


I hope you like the convenient new interface and the increased capabilities
of ScapeMaker v3.0.
