Installing ML Draw Version 2.20
-------------------------------

1) Installing for the first time
2) Upgrading
3) Changes in this release

1) Installing for the first time
--------------------------------
The installation zip file contains the following files:

MLPalmInstall.exe     - This program installs ML Draw on your hand held.
MLConduitInstall.exe  - This program installs the conduit on your PC
readme.txt            - this file

Installing ML Draw on the hand held
-----------------------------------
The Palm application is installed on the hand held by running the 
MLPalmInstall.exe program on your PC. The installer also installs a Windows help 
file on your PC and provides a short cut to it on the desktop. Reading the help 
file is essential to a proper understanding of how to use ML Draw.

You can choose the directory where the Windows Help file is installed, but we 
recommend you take the default location "c:\Program Files\MLDrawHelp".

MLPalmInstall.exe adds files to the Install Tool for downloading to the
handheld at the next HotSync. Normally it will install two files on your
handheld: mldraw.prc and mathlib.prc. The installer provides an option to
skip installing mathlib.prc for those people who already have a copy of
Mathlib on their machine.

If after running the installation program, you change your mind and wish to 
cancel the installation, run the Install Tool and delete the files listed under 
the appropriate user name.

Otherwise, to complete the installation, perform a HotSync.

When ML Draw is first launched after installation, it will create a
demonstration drawing called Demo. You can edit the demo drawing as much as
you wish, but you will not be able to create new drawings unless you first
register and obtain an unlock code.

See the Windows Help file for registration details.

There is a short tutorial on the ML Software web site at
http://www.antecor.com.

About Mathlib
-------------
ML Draw needs a shared library called MathLib to be installed on the handheld
machine. MathLib is a free shared library that can be used by any Palm OS 2.0+
program that needs IEEE 754 double precision math functions. It's distributed
under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License, and is freely
available with full source code and documentation at the MathLib Information
web page at http://www.radiks.net/~rhuebner/mathlib.html It's not a part of
the ML Draw program, and you're not paying anything for its use; a copy is
simply included in this archive for your convenience. 

To uninstall the Windows Help file, go to "Start/Settings/Control Panel" and 
double click on "Add/Remove Programs". "ML Draw Help File" should be listed. 
Highlight it and click on the Change/Remove button.

To uninstall the hand-held program, use the standard Palm method of removing 
applications. If none of your other applications uses Mathlib, then you could 
remove it as well as ML Draw.

Installing the conduit
----------------------
To install the conduit, double click on the installation program 
MLDConduitInstall.EXE. You can choose the directory where the conduit files
are to be installed, but we recommend you take the default location
"c:\Program Files\MLDrawConduit".

After installing the conduit, the default setting is for drawings to be created 
on the PC in all three formats: Windows bitmap, Standard Metafile and Enhanced
Metafile format. To change this choose the HotSync menu item 'Custom...' and
call up the ML Draw Conduit configuration dialog.

To uninstall the conduit, go to "Start/Settings/Control Panel" and double click 
on "Add/Remove Programs". "ML Draw Conduit" should be listed. Highlight it and 
click on the Change/Remove button.

2) Upgrading
------------

Upgrading from Version 2.10
---------------------------
Use MLPalmInstall.exe to install the new Windows Help file and the new
mldraw.prc file as described above under "Installing ML Draw on the hand
held".
Do NOT remove the existing ML Draw first, as this would delete all your 
drawings too.
Run the program MLDConduitInstall.exe to install the new conduit on to your
PC as described above under "Installing the conduit".


Upgrading from Version 2.00
---------------------------
1) If you have the ML Draw conduit installed, then first uninstall the conduit.
   To do this open Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, then find the entry for
   "ML Draw Conduit" and click the Change/Remove button. Follow the on-screen
   instructions. This will remove the old Conduit.

2) Next uninstall the existing Windows Help file. To do this open Control
   Panel, Add/Remove Programs, then find the entry for "ML Draw Help File" and
   click the Change/Remove button. Follow the on-screen instructions.

3) Use MLPalmInstall.exe to install the new Windows Help file and the new
   mldraw.prc file as described above under "Installing ML Draw on the hand
   held".
   Do NOT remove the existing ML Draw first, as this would delete all your 
   drawings too.

4) Run the program MLDConduitInstall.exe to install the new conduit on to your
   PC as described above under "Installing the conduit".

Upgrading from the monochrome version
-------------------------------------

If you have a monochrome Palm then the new color version will allow you to use 
the maximum number of shades of gray your machine is capable of displaying, but 
will not of course magically turn your machine into a color machine.

1) The previous version of the ML Draw Conduit will not work with the color
   version and must be uninstalled before installing the new conduit. To do
   this open Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, then find ML Draw and click
   the Change/Remove button. This will remove the old Conduit. The uninstall may 
   be unable to remove the directory C:\Program Files\MLDraw and there will be
   one file in it called condmgr.dll. Delete this file and directory using Windows 
   Explorer. If trying to delete it gives a "sharing violation" then re-boot the 
   computer first and then the delete will work without error. 

2) Use MLPalmInstall.exe to install the new mldraw.prc file as described above. 
   Do NOT remove the existing ML Draw first, as this would delete all your 
   drawings too. The first time that you launch the color version on the
   hand-held it will upgrade all your existing drawings to color format, but of
   course the existing lines will still be black.

3) Run the program MLDConduitInstall.exe to install the new color compatible
   conduit on to your PC as described above.

3) Changes in this release
--------------------------
Added Cut to the editing functions and removed the now superfluous Move and
Delete modes. Moving drawing elements is now done by with Cut & Paste, and
Deleting by just using Cut. Read the new "Cut, Copy, Paste" section of the
new Windows Help file for more.

Improved the accuracy of identifying which drawing element is the intended
target of a Cut or Copy operation.

Setting or clearing the "private" setting on a drawing wasn't working
properly. Fixed.

After Moving or Copying an arc, the start and end points of the arc were not
updated causing the handles to snap to unexpected places. Fixed.

The conduit was not always clearing the background of the bitmaps to white.
Fixed.
