The features of FramedPad v1.15(9/17/96)
            
a) Insert pages
  We can insert the page at any location. Of course, we can save and
  load these scribbled page.

  We can group/ungroup the objects on this notepad. In order to create
  the grouped object, in edit mode, click the mouse outside the objects,
  and dragging mouse as the showing rectangle surroundes the multiple
  objects which we want to group. After release the mouse, the objects
  are focused and reversed. click the group button. The focused objects
  become a grouped object. We can handle the grouped object the same as 
  the usual object.
c) the new file format:
  In order to handle the grouped object, insert function, and reduce
  the data file, now we use the new file format. The size of file is 
  very smaller than older version to reduce the string of color and 
  created time.
d) an Efficient GUI:
  I believe I has improved the GUI. The page slider is located at the
  right hand of Scribbler, and bottons are almost located at the left
  hand of Scribbler. This design is inspired from many word processor
  and so on.
e) separate the annotation log directory and materail directory:
  we can specify the directory to save/load the log data and
  the material directory separately.

   We can page change using the page slider. We can limit to show the
   object to move the stroke slider.

  that object is displayed.

  introduce the MSQL.

    on another Netscape.
