DOCUMENTATION FOR TipTap Lite Version 2.2.1 (shareware version) =========================================== ABOUT TIPTAP ============= Welcome to TipTap Lite, a multimedia system providing a unique learning experience for children. TipTap is a system designed to teach phonics and grammar as well as typing and handwriting skills. The user receives a combination of auditory, visual and tactile reinforcement. This is known as a multi-sensory approach to learning and is beneficial for all students, regardless of individual learning style. Through beautiful and colorful animations, illustrations, creative music and sound-effects, systematic repetition, and reinforcement of correct responses, youngsters happily engage in an exciting learning experience. Lessons can be printed on either a dot matrix, laser or PostScript(tm) printer, allowing children to create their own illustrated spelling books for practice, and serving as a visible record of their accomplishments. Exercises are designed to be brief; repetition is encouraged. See the TipTap Help file for more information.

You will only see this performance test once for a any given video mode. On slower machines the test may last several minutes. WinG is part of the new Chicago (Windows 95) version of Windows graphical interface. WinG version 1.0 provides the fastest graphics to screen capabilities under Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, and Windows NT version 3.5+. WinG will not run on Windows NT version 3.1 or on earlier versions of Windows. WinG requires a 386 or better processor to run. WinG will not run on a 286. See WING.TXT file for more information.
