DISCLAIMER
==========
	HotDraw/V is a research tool, and in no case
	should I or the Center for Object Oriented 
	Computing be responsible for any damages 
	resulted from using the software, or technical 
	support, etc, etc, etc


INSTALLATION
============

	File in hotdrawv.st and specify the directory
	path of hotdrawv.st when prompted by the 
	installation script.

	To run the drawing editor type and evaluate
	'DrawingEditor open'


BUGS
====

1) 	The line drawn from a ConnectionHandle when
	connecting two figures is displayed only during 
	the motion. If the user stops for a moment, the
	line disappears.

2)	Resizing over limits; i.e. moving one corner past
	any other corner results in the handles not being
	distributed properly.

3)	A group/compose action results in order mismatch
	of the figures; i.e. some will go to the back, 
	some will come to the front.

4)	Multiple selected figures cannot be moved as a whole.

5)	DrawingEditor doesn't have a menu. On the other hand
	drawing pane has a non customizable menu. The drawing
	pane menu should belong to the DrawingEditor so that
	the user can modify the menu by subclassing.

6)	In Win32 event tables are used so the 'changed'
	message doesn't work properly for HotDraw/V. This
	better be changed !

7)	In Win32 'resetVisibleArea' from CompositeFigure 
	generates a visibleArea that is inset by 1@1.

8)	Scrolling doesn't work properly when connected Complex
	Figures are present;i.e. when scrolling, connections
	and figures move independently of one another.

9)	CLASSIC: Certain actions result in bitmaps not being
	relased.


NOT IMPLEMENTED YET
===================

1)	BitmapFigure - A Figure displaying arbitrary bitmaps.

2)	Load/Save to file.

3)	DrawingActionTool - A tool that operates on the whole
	Drawing, i.e. when pressed it loads or saves the drawing
	to/from a file.
