X-Stitch Studio 1.7 - Read Me Text File.
13 June 1999
================================================
Purpose of program:
================================================
X-Stitch Studio is a computer-aided design tool
for the creation of counted cross stitch charts,
and other similar kinds of charts used for craft
such as tapestry, beadwork, knitting and more.
Working on screen in color, you can design using
a variety of stitch types, and perform actions
such as copy, rotate, flip, as well as draw basic
shapes such as circles lines and boxes.
Photographs may be scanned and easily converted
into charts - the program will decide which color
threads to use automatically.
It will also calculate the amount of thread
required for the job.
================================================
How to Install:
================================================
In this version, created for upload to the Simtel
archives, some essential support files have not
been supplied. These support files are known as
the 'Visual Basic 5 runtimes.', and they are also
available from the Simtel sites.
It may be that the required files already exist 
on your computer.
If they do, all you need do to install X-Stitch
Studio is to run the file XSSDEMO.EXE, contained
in this archive.
It is a full-featured install/uninstall program,
which will by default install the program into
\program files\XStitch Studio.

  Note: the installer will work whether or not
  the support files are present, but the 
  X-Stitch Studio program itself MUST have these
  files to operate.

You can test for the presence of these files before
installing the XSSDEMO.EXE file, by running the
TEST.EXE file first. If this works without problem
then all will be well.

Ursa Software regret the necessity for this partial
installation, which is outside of our control.
A fuller installation, which includes all required
files, can be downloaded from 
http://www.ursasoftware.com/studio.exe
If you have any difficulty, please contact the
authors on support@ursasoftware.com
and we will do our utmost to assist.
