+LaTeD Version 1.1
+(c) Gene Ressler 1993, 94, 97

+
+LaTeD is a graphical editor for drawings in the LaTeX "picture"
+environment. It runs under MSDOS or in a Windows DOS box. The
+distribution includes full sources, including LaTeX source for
+its documentation.
+
+LaTeD is meant to be one of those "right arm" tools that
+returns a lot for a minimum investment of learning time. It
+is a simple and quick way to make clean-looking {picture}
+environment drawings and diagrams for your LaTeX documents.
+LaTeD makes it as easy as possible to live with {picture}
+restrictions and get beautiful outputs on the first try.
+
+Features include:
+ - Runs well in a DOS box under Win 95 and NT 4 as well as
+ DOS 5.x and later.
+ - GUI with Undo. Drawing tools include
+ . line, vector, solid, dashed, and black-filled boxes,
+ . text justified within any of the unfilled boxes plus the
+ option of an invisible justification box,
+ . open and filled circles given by radius or diameter, 1/4, 1/2,
+ and full ovals,
+ . modify tools for reshaping all objects and changing text.
+ . Other editing is through a pick set chosen with pick and unpick tools
+ and a tool to cycle the latest pick among nearby objects.
+ . Picks can be deleted, moved or copied. Copies can be in one
+ or any number of equally spaced instances.
+ . Bounding box can be computed by LaTeD or user-drawn.
+ . Earlier-saved drawings can be merged with the current one,
+ providing a simple drawing library facility.
+ - Fakes short lines with multiput dots.
+ - Nearly WYSIWYG (LaTeD knows about line and vector slopes, but
+ not circle diameters, and it only approximates text size).
+ - Writes {picture} in optional {figure} including caption,
+ {center}, and/or complete {document} (for quick proofing).
+ - User docs with figures by LaTeD.
+ - Full sources for everything.
+
+No warranty of this software of any kind is expressed or implied
+by the author.
