README for Gerwin 0.1
---------------------


0. What is Gerwin?


Gerwin is a tool that aid you in creating data models and then
(perhaps) implementing it on a relational database.

You can draw your data model via an entity-relation diagram, generate
the tables from it (another graphical diagram) and then generate the
SQL that creates such relational tables. Currently several SQL
dialects are supported (for most popular free software database
systems) and it is very easy to patch the sources to support more SQL
dialects. 



1. How do i run Gerwin?

To type:

     $ gerwin

should work if you have tcl/tk installed in your system.

If you do not have tcl/tk installed in your system (or you dont want
to install it) download the static version from the Gerwin homepage.



2. Where can i find updates and Gerwin related material?


On the Gerwin homepage, of course: http://es.gnu.org/~jemarch/gerwin


3. Where is the documentation?


Hmm... currently there is not documentation, sorry.

Of course, some documentation is in progress. 


4. How can i enlarge the draw space?


Use the arrow keys to change the canvas size.
