History of the Example Projects
-------------------------------

The example projects included in iConDraw were originally released in
March, 1992 as part of the "SHOPSAVE graphics plaything"... Useful
programming examples that manipulate the tiny graphics used in "New
PrintShop", "Old PrintShop" and "Old PrintMaster".

SHOPSAVE was a FreeWare package written by Bill Buckels and Initially
Released to the FidoNet Based PDN (Programmer's Distribution Network)
Archive. Aside from the programming examples, ShopSave consisted of
ShopSave.Exe and two "New PrintShop" Graphics libraries. The information
about the Example Projects was originally published in the text file
SHOPSAVE.PDA (Propgram Description Abstract) included with the ShopSave
Package.

The functionality that was originally in the ShopSave program has been
incorporated into iConDraw, so the ShopSave.Exe is no longer required.
