** MEMORY MATH v 1.5   Copyright 1996 Gary Bacon

Memory Math v 1.5 is designed to help children in the 
primary grades memorize the 0-9 math tables. Many of
the math problems in any given quiz will be easier
than the level chosen. The problems are selected at
random up to the specified level. The idea is that
it be a positive experience, (answering more questions
correctly than incorrectly); and that it is fun. If
it is enjoyable, they will do it, and if they do it
often, they will learn the math tables. 


** System Requirements:
An IBM compatible PC or better
MSDOS 3.x or higher  ( will run in WINDOWS 3.1 )
Color Monitor, CGA or better


** Printing:
You will notice, that when you print out division problems
that the regular division ( ö ) symbol is replaced by the
slash ( / ) symbol, this is because many printers do not
correctly print ascii characters such as ( ö ). So the
( / ) is used instead.


** Running Memory Math from a floppy:
Memory Math will run from a floppy. BUT Memory Math MUST be
able to write (save) to files it creates on the disk, so the
write protection on the disk MUST be turned OFF.
To run the program, change to the prompt that reflects the 
floppy drive you are using, and type:    MEM-MATH


** Hard Drive Installation:
Unzip MEMATH15.ZIP to a temperary directory, run the INSTALL
program from the DOS prompt to install Memory Math to your
hard drive. The install program needs to be told the path to
install Memory Math to. The proper way to do this is as 
follows, at the DOS prompt type:        INSTALL C:\SPS-MM

 This would create a directory called SPS-MM on the "C" drive
and copy all Memory Math files to it. SPS-MM is the directory
of choice but you can install Memory Math to any drive you 
wish.
 To install to the "D" drive what you would type, would look
like this:         INSTALL D:\SPS-MM 

 To run the program from your hard drive, change to the 
SPS-MM directory, and type:         MEM-MATH 


** Running Memory Math in WINDOWS 3.1:
Memory Math is well behaved in WINDOWS 3.1 (thats how we use
it at our house). Original icons (DUSTY.ICO & MEM-MATH.ICO)
are included for for your use, as well as .BMPs (DUSTY.BMP &
MEM-MATH.BMP) which can be used as a wallpaper.
 To use the .BMPs:  Copy MEM-MATH.BMP to the WINDOWS directory,
go to the Program Manager's Control Panel and choose desktop,
MEM-MATH.BMP and DUSTY.BMP will be listed under wallpapers,
select  it and choose tile; I hope you like bright colors.
To setup an icon in WINDOWS 3.1 I will need to refer you to
the WINDOWS Manual, it is not difficult to do, but following
the Manual would be best.


** To UnInstall Memory Math:
Can't imagine why anyone would want to do it.
But should the need arise, just:
1.delete the icon in Program Manager (if installed)
2.delete the contents of the SPS-MM directory
  and the directory its self
3.it's gone, but wouldn't you miss it?


** Shareware:
Memory Math is shareware, that means, trying it out before you
buy it, sharing it with a friend, and if after a reasonable
amount of time (3-4 weeks), you decide to keep it, paying the
author. When passing on Memory Math be sure to give the complete 
MEMATH15.ZIP file. This program is shareware, it is not crippled.
However, those registering Memory Math will recieve more.
Like:
   
		The most current version of Memory Math (probably
			more sounds, praise comments & animation)
		The registration reminders are removed (of course)
		The program on a floppy (format of you choice)
                Printed documentation
		The Information screen will show your name as the
			registered user.
		Notification of updates

In the informational part of the program the price for Memory Math
is said to be $10. But, I would like your input, so, if you will
include a short paragraph telling what you like about Memory Math,
or how it can be improved, you will be able to register it for $5.
I can't promise to do everything that might be suggested, but with
your input Memory Math will hopefully be a more useful tool.

 Just print out this file, fill out the registration information
questions at the end and mail it to me at:

appreciated. PARTICULARLY if you decide not to register
Memory Math; because we aim to please.  E-mail me at:
