	MswLogo Version 2.0 for Micro-Soft Windows 3.X is ready !!!
        ------------------------------------------------------------

        If you even liked MswLogo 1.X even just a little you'll Love
	version 2.0.

New features/bugs fixed:

   o Command Recall/Edit (Works Great !!!).

   o Halt button (you don't have to abort LOGO to stop it :-) ).

   o Yields to other processes (it should of done this a long time ago,
     I'm learning).

   o Yielding is "switchable" (Yielding slows things a little, so you can
     shut it off if you like).

   o Popup dynamic status window (shows heading, pos, pen status etc.)

   o Look and feel or Borland Windows Products (real sharp !!!).

   o And as usual lots of little bug fixes.

   o pencolor order fixed (everything is RGB, or is it RBG, oh shoot,
     I think it's right).

   o I really think it should work on V3.0 Windows now, I did find some
     problems (But V3.0 users should still read the bugs list).

   o Aspect Ratio should now be correct on all printers.

   o To and readlist generate Popup windows for input.

   o Supports Text weight (along with size, angle, etc.) 

To Install it (note this is changed slightly):

1) UnZip MSWLOGO20.ZIP into a directory (e.g. c:\logo)

2) UnZip LOGOLIB.ZIP (included in MSWLOGO20.ZIP) into LIB (e.g. c:\logo\lib)

   Note:  If you do not use c:\logo as the root you must set the
          environment variable LOGOPATH to where you put it (e.g.
          set logopath=d:\games\logo in autoexec.bat)

3) Copy BWCC.DLL (included in the .ZIP) to anywhere in your PATH.
   This could be where you place LOGO (as long as it's in your PATH).
   When I say PATH here I don't mean LOGOPATH. The desired place is
   in your root windows directory (e.g. c:\windows).   

4) Start Windows and add Icon as follows:

   a) Select the applications (or other) icon box.

   b) Go into Program manger FILE menu and click on New.

   c) Select Program Item and click OK.

   d) Enter the command for logo (e.g. c:\logo\logo).

   e) Include a working directory (e.g. c:\logo\work) or you'll have ".lg"
      files all over the place.

Start it from Windows by double clicking the Logo Icon

Start it from DOS by typing "win logo" at DOS prompt (assuming logo.exe
is in your PATH).

Try typing "DEMO" at the "*" prompt (out of bounds at end of demo is normal).

Standard features:

   o Supports Text

   o Floodfill (except printing, still working on this)

   o penwidth.

   o Save and restore images in metafile format.

   o screencolor (background).

   o 16.7 million pen and background colors (using windows dithering).

   o Standard Windows Hypertext Help.

   o Standard Windows Printing.

   o Supports separate library and work area.

Bugs / Basic Missing features:

   o getpen incompatible with pencolor.

   o Some printers (maybe all) will not handle floodfills.
     I beleive I will have it fixed soon.

   o Real mode is not supported.

   o Pause and Trace buttons are there but not implemented yet.

   o HALT and READLIST, and TO (edit is much easier to use anyway)
     seem a little flakey sometimes.

****************** V3.0 Windows Users ****************************

   o Save and Restore is disabled for V3.0 Windows.

   o You can only print an image once !!! per drawing, I know that sounds
     silly but that's the way it is. After printing you can clear the screen
     and draw (NOT refresh) the image again and print again. It will remind
     you of this after printing.

   o If I fail to detect V3.0 correctly (possibly on OEM versions of windows)
     and it hangs after a second print. Then don't print and send me mail of
     your configuration.

Wish list:

   o Need sound blaster support.

   o needs debug support.

   o need zoom in and out.

   o Undo/Redo

The Core of this Version of Logo comes from a project done by Boston Childrens
Museum and Lincoln Sudbury Regonal High School. The Port to Windows was done
by George Mills Digital Equipment Corporation. Digital Equipment Corporation
takes no responsibility for the software.

There is also a DOS version (with out the added functionality added to MswLOGO)
is available. Same location as MswLOGO.
