   Introduction
   ------------

This program is a business card designer. It lets you type in your details
and then creates a draw file which has the card in side it. It is perfect
for making professional looking cards to give to your friends so they have
your address or for making a business card for your business.


   How to use
   ----------

Simply double click on the !Card application and it will apear on the icon
bar. Click left hand mouse button and a window will open in which you type
in the details. Click middle button over one of the icons under the word
'Font :-' will bring up a menu from which you can select the font for the
item to the left of it. Changing the icons which are under the word 'Size
:-' will alter the font size for the item to the right of it. Type in the
text you wish for each part in the boxes under the word 'Text :-'. Pressing
Return after each one will move the cursor down a box.

Once you have typed in the details either select 'View' from a menu or click
right hand button on the !Card icon on the icon bar.

If you like what you see when you view the card then you can save it, either
as pure data for this program to use again or as a draw file. To do this
bring up a menu and then go across on save and then again to the type of
file you wish to save it as. Drag the icon to a directory and it will save.
If you wish to print a card just drag a previously saved Draw file into
!Draw.
