Version 0.0.8  of my drawing program for blind students is now posted at:
http://www.austincc.edu/baldwin/SWT-SVG/SVGDraw01.zip and available for
immediate download.

This version contains the following new features:

1. The ability to import SVG path data.
2. An extensive new set of user instructions.
3. Several improvements in human factors and accessibility.

You must have the 32-bit Windows version of the Java JRE installed on your
computer to run this program. I am told that the 32-bit and the 64-bit
versions of Java can be installed and will peacefully coexist on Windows
Vista and Windows 7 in case you also need the 64-bit version for other
programs.

The procedure for getting started using the program is as follows:

First download the zip file from the web address given above.

Extract the following four files from the zip file into the same empty
folder.
_ReadMeFirst.txt
Instructions.htm
SVGDraw01.jar
_version.txt

The file named SVGDraw01.jar is an executable jar file. You can run it the
same way that you run other programs.

If all else fails, open a command window in the folder containing the jar
file and enter the following command at the prompt:

java -jar SVGdraw01.jar

When the program starts, you will land in an Action List with the following
selection showing:
"User instructions"

Press the enter key and tab down to the button labeled:
"Press this button to open instructions in a browser"

When you press the button, you should land in a browser window containing an
HTML document with detailed usage instructions for the program.

Alternatively, you can simply open the file named Instructions.htm in your
browser and read it without running the program.

As usual, feedback will be appreciated.
