“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”    —MARGARET MEAD


________________________________________

Version 0.0.14 of my drawing program for blind and visually impaired users is now posted at: http://www.austincc.edu/baldwin/SWT-SVG/SVGDraw01.zip and is available for immediate download.

Perform the following two steps to run the program
1. After downloading the zip file, extract all of the material from the zip file into an empty folder being careful to preserve the directory tree structure.
2. Execute the file named RunSVGDraw01.bat.

When the program starts, you will land on Home Base from which you can select any of the actions provided by the menus. You can open the Help document at any time by pressing the F1 key. There are five menus that can be opened by pressing the keys shown below:

File (Alt+F)
Draw (Alt+D)
Mod (Alt+M)
Advanced (Alt+A)
Help (Alt+H)

I will be happy to answer questions during the upcoming telephone conference.
