would be a more appropriate name. At any rate, I'm please to announce
that PyAscii version 0.6 is available for download at
http://www.fidalgo.net/~garyr/pyascii - just click on the filename.

PyAscii_06_WinXP.zip contains an executable for WinXP. This should be
considered beta software since it has not had much testing by anyone
other than myself. Download and read the readme.txt file before
unzipping.

PyAscii_06_source.zip contains the Python source files.
I'm using Python 2.3.

What is PyAscii?

PyAscii is a ASCII character drawing program, presently configured
to produce electronics schematics. Salient features:

    * Electronic symbols or objects commonly used in drawing
      electronics schematics may choosen from a list and placed
      on the screen. They can also be moved, copied or deleted
      with a few mouse clicks.

    * Similarly, groups of object on the screen may be moved,
      copied or deleted.

    * Certain operations such as placing symbols, labels and pin
      numbershave been automated to some extent.

    * Standard resistor and capacitor values in either US or
      European form may be selected from tables.

    * Text may be quickly placed anywhere on the drawing. Just
       move the cursor to the desired spot and start typing. Entered
       text may moved, copied or deleted just like any other drawing
       object. Single lines of text may be oriented vertically.

    * Component labels (R1, R2, etc.) may be generated automatically.

    * The ASCII drawing may be previewed or copied to the clipboard
       or to a file at any time.
