	The "ObjectDraw" sample program supplied with THINK Pascal 3.0
includes three custom MDEF routines, all written in Pascal, and all 
integrated as part of the program's source (rather than as a separately
built code resource). One MDEF is for tools, one is for patterns, and
one is for colors.

	ObjectDraw also shows off some other pretty cool things, like
the fact that you can write programs in Object Pascal without using
a class library. :-) (This is a holdover from when ObjectDraw was
originally written for version 2.0 of Pascal, and there were no
class libraries to speak of...)
