VOODOO v1.99.11 -- Win32 binaries


PREREQUISITES:

This release requires you to have MSVCRT.DLL somewhere in your PATH.
Most people should have this as it's installed by most software
nowadays.  People who don't have this are probably running Win95
original or WinNT <= 3.51.  If we get enough demands for it, we'll
eventually ship it with the archive.  We apologize for this: blame
Microsoft and their idiotic ideas of how to manage the C runtime
library.

This release also requires Tcl/Tk version 8.3.2.  It's the latest
stable version, according to the scriptics site.  Grab it from
http://dev.scriptics.com/download/tcl/tcl8_3/tcl832.exe ; it's a
self-extracting executable.


INSTALLATION:

Simply unzip voodoo-win32-1.99.11.zip somewhere.  Everything gets
dumped in that directory now; it's not necessary to have a separate
tcl subdirectory.  This should make things easier than before.

Once this is done, double-click ``voodoo.bat'' to start the program.
If this doesn't work, it may be that the Tcl extension is not mapped
to the Tcl interpreter.  In that case, open wish, and source
``vd.tcl''.  Note that this is a huge change from the ``old way'' of
doing things--my ultimate goal is to be able to distribute the whole
thing in a single wrapped executable.

The manual is included in manual.pdf (but it's a bit out of date).
Subdirectory ``examples'' gives example diagrams (pulled out from the
design manual); you may load them to have something to play with.

The manual assumes you know the terminology that has to do with UML
class diagrams (i.e., class, generalization, association...).  UML is
of little use to those who don't understand the terminology, anyhow.
