Tkpaint 1.5 is available via

         http://www.netanya.ac.il/~samy/tkpaint.html

I had trouble trying to upload it to the neosoft site (www.neosoft.com),
I hope I will succeed later.

Tkpaint is a graphics utility for drawing good quality slides, diagrams,
figures for lecture notes, books, to be included in papers (with TeX or
LaTeX, etc).  Tkpaint is based on the Tcl/Tk canvas widget.

The new features in version 1.5 are:
------------------------------------
*   ZOOM:
    Now it is possible to zoom up your drawing and to perform sensitive
    editing. Read more below.

*   MORE IMAGE TYPES:
    JPEG, BMP (windows!), XPM, TIFF, PNG, and POSTSCRIPT.
    All these goodies are available only if you install the 
    "Img package" of Jan Nijtmans:    http://home.wxs.nl/~nijtmans.
   
*   SCROLLBARS!
    Well, after too many requests from users, I have added scrollbars
    to the tkpaint canvas. 

*   TEXT SCALING
    In earlier versions, when choosing a group of objects for scaling,
    text objects were left unchanged while all other objects got
    resized. This is no longer the case for version 1.5! From now on
    when scaling a group of objects, the text objects are scaled with
    respect to the X direction. 

*   IMPROVED GRID SELECTOR
    Now it is much easier to select the grid and snap parameters        
    (previously slightly confusing). Note, however, that a distinction    
    is made between grid and snap. Mainly, they are independent of each
    other. It is also possible to select grid and snap sizes in cm, mm,
    or inches. Also read the next item:

ENJOY!
