Krokis (Beta 0.83)

Simplified CAD for the PalmOS

 

Krokis was developed as a "proof-of-concept" that a palm-based CAD software is feasible and can be a practical tool for an architect. The main feature of the software is the use of graffiti penstrokes to invoke the commonly used drawing and editing tools. Development of Krokis has been terminated in May 2003 and its source code can be freely accessed by anyone interested.
