Introduction
============

I would like to thank you for trying Thought Tickler / Dynamic Draw.
Thought Tickler is an amazing, useful idea processor. Dynamic Draw
is a powerful drawing tool.

These programs are my own creations.

To install and use them, you must agree to the End-User Software License
Agreement. The agreement will be presented to you during the installation 
process. It is also shown below so that you may review it in advance.

My programs, Thought Tickler, Thought Retriever, and Dynamic Draw,
are FreeWare: they are provided to you without cost, even if you use them 
commercially.

I am Japanese, so I don't have a lot of experience writing in English.
You may find some strange English in my documentation and in the program.
I hope that you will take pleasure in these programs that I have created.

Please be patient and try to understand what is described in
my sentences. If you do not, please don't hesitate to ask me.
You can contact me via two following ways.

Thought Tickler Portable/Dynamic Draw Portable doesn't use

2. There is a possiblity to fail to paste a Dynamic Draw's OLE object to
   other applications, or paste other application's OLE object to
   Dynamic Draw Portable.

   pasted on other applications.

Another restrictions for all operating systems:
  If a background picture is specified in the object properties and you
