Draw
1998
Background
After many years I found this old DOS drawing program lying on my hard disk. Works in the good-old 320x200x256 VGA mode and still runs under Windows XP. The image below demonstrates all the drawing tools available in Draw. Source code is lost, but I have managed to keep an executable.
Download executable (dos, windows)
