INTRODUCTION

Welcome to KeyBoard Caper 1.1!

KeyBoard Caper is a educational game for children designed to assist
in teaching your children number and letter recognition while 
also building familiarity with the computer keyboard.  KeyBoard
Caper features colorful, lively animation, dynamic stereo sound,
game timer features, animated keyboard hints, and extensive 
user configurable options.

Some of the features included in KeyBoard Caper are...
-  User selectable Game Piece graphic types (upper
   case letters, lower case letters, or numbers)
-  User customizable interface
-  Lively sound effects
-  Colorful visual indicators of your games progress
-  Game Timer feature (try to beat the clock!)
-  Full context-sensitive online help
-  Animated Keyboard game hints


The game environment is highly customizable allowing the
player to specify settings such as the type of game piece
graphic, animation speed settings, sound options, game timer
limits, gauge display, and more.

The game playing environment features sound, lively music,
and colorful graphics making it especially attractive to 
small children.  And the ability to initiate a 'timed game'
with a variable number of game pieces will provide a 
challenging game playing environment for older players.

Complete online help is available via the Help menu option,
or by pressing F1 at most screens.

INSTALLATION - PLEASE READ

Please read over the PACKING.LST to assure that all of the
files were included in the distribution copy you received.
If there are files missing KeyBoard Caper will not install
properly.

Note that KeyBoard Caper requires the Microsoft file VBRUN300.DLL
which is the Visual Basic runtime library.  This file is not
included with KeyBoard Caper but may be obtained from many 
Internet sites or commercial online services (such as America
Online, CompuServer, or Prodigy) as well as the SparTech Software
home page (http://www.flash.net/~spartech).

KeyBoard Caper should have been distributed in a 'Zipped' file
format and thus requires the PKUNZIP utility to
uncompress the files.  To install KeyBoard Caper, simply create
a new directory (/keycaper would be nice) and unzip the
keycaper.zip file into this new directory.  Then assure that you
have the vbrun300.dll file in either the /keycaper or
/windows/system directory.

To uninstall KeyBoard Caper simply delete the game's directory and
delete the KEYCAPER.INI file from your \WINDOWS directory.
