ClarisDRAW 1.0B v1(North American English) on Windows 10 x64

I just about shat myself when I finally got it installed, and...it started!
Yes, it is running in Windows 95 compatibility mode.
No, of course the .hlp file won't work - but there are kludges.
Yes, this package includes a 7th disk - "ClarisDRAW Installation Guide by Modern Books". Installs/Uses Microsoft "Mviewer2.exe"

Yes, it includes Win32s (the earlier v1.30), so will run on Windows 3.1 on up...not too shabby for 20 year old softs.
I'm about as excited as a chicken giving birth to twins!

  • Typical me, I tend to first look at the binaries with a resource editor. Then pull out a hexer and go over the code and see what interesting techniques they use. One of the things I was struck by is they included a list giving credit to nearly everyone that worked for Claris. That's rare indeed.
