Graphic Rulers Version 1.0

These programs are freeware. Use at your own risk. These 
programs do not alter the system registry or any other files. 
I have tested them on Windows 95 only, but they should work 
on 98. They were written in Delphi 4. Your system resolution 
should be set to 600 x 800 pixels for the inch rulers to be 
properly proportioned. 

 There are two programs in this package. The programs 
 consist of two types of rulers: 
 1. A vertical and horizontal ruler in inches 
 2. A vertical and horizontal ruler in pixels 

 (I attempted to create a metric ruler also 
 but pixels and metrics don't mix well.) 

 The inch rulers are not exactly correct but should 
 suffice for any graphic work. The pixel rulers should be 
 correct. 

 Buttons found on both rulers: 
                                                                                                
 1. The four arrow buttons are used to move the ruler up, down, 
      left, or right one pixel at a time. You can also move the 
      ruler by simply left clicking and dragging the ruler to 
      where you want it. 
 2. The next button down or to the right is used to start the 
      like ruler that is perpendicular to itself (the vertical 
      ruler can start the horizontal and vice versa). Both 
      horizontal and vertical rulers must be in the same 
      folder for this to work. 
 3. The next button down or to the right (red X) is used to 
      close the program. 
 4. The next button down or to the right is used to switch the 
      ruler between 'always OnTop' and 'not OnTop'. 
 5. The next button down or to the right is used to switch 
      between the inch and pixel rulers. 
 6. The last button down or to the right is used to expand and 
      contract the ruler. 

Installation:  Simply unzip the programs into a folder of your
choice.  Then open and minimize Exployer and drag and drop the
two ruler executables to your desktop (the two executables are
called Hruler.exe and Vruler.exe).
