#===================================================================#
"                Welcome to the world of Kandinsky                  "
#===================================================================#
This is a very short instruction for Kandinsky.

Kandinsky is a vector drawing program, which supports all known GEM 
standards. This is done by supporting the clipboard, SpeedoGDOS, 
MultiTOS and the GEMINI-AV protocoll.
Saving and printing with Kandinsky only will be possible, if you installed 
a GDOS (e.g. AMCGDOS, NVDI or SpeedoGDOS). Kandinsky supports VDI 
devices from number 11 to number 70.
Kandinsky uses dialogues in windows, which makes users with MultiTOS, 
Geneva or Mag!X very happy. The dialogues can be operated in the 
background, too.
Another feature: Kandinsky allows you to create text that consists of 
BGI fonts, the vector fonts from Borland.

Working with Kandinsky is slightly different from the known click&drag 
standard. Kandinsky introduces the click-move-click standard. An 
example: to draw a line just click for defining the start point, then 
let your hand move the mouse without pushing the mouse button and you will 
see the end point of the line following your relaxed movement. If you 
have decided the end point to be quite perfect, just another click and 
there's a line in the window. Cool, ey?
The big advantage of the click-move-click: the window can be sized, the 
view can be changed and all that stuff, during editing an object.

More features of Kandinsky:

  - active support of MultiTOS by using window dialogues, the clipboard
    and (coming soon) drag & drop
  - undo is possible for almost all actions
  - export to PostScript (use Kandinsky together with GhostScript, and
    let those IBMs and Apples far behind you)
  - reads drawings from GEM/3-Artline (for those using more than the
    ATARI system)
  - all objects (even ellipses and rounded boxes) can be rotated in 0.1
    degree steps
  - objects can be changed after creating them, e.g. text or the angle
    of arcs
  - powerfull alignment possibilties
  - import of value tables in the CSV (comma separated value) format
    with automatic generation of a coordinate system
  - and even more


The following software and hardware is suggested for the use of Kandinsky:

  - GDOS, NVDI, AMCGDOS or SpeedoGDOS must be installed
  - use NVDI to get maximum speed
  - it should be possible to run Kandinsky with 512KB memory
  - Kandinsky runs on ST(E), Mega ST(E), TT and Falcon
  - Kandinsky runs with various graphic boards


Kandinsky is shareware. You can test it for a certain time (six weeks 
should be enough). After this time you have to register. The fee is 30.- 
DM plus the costs for sending you the latest version. So you should send 
me at least 35.- DM, 15 Pounds or 25 US$.

Send a cheque or Postal Order for 15 Pounds to:

Joe Connor, 65 Mill Road, Colchester, Essex, CO4 5LJ
