Long Description:
-----------------

Name That State for Windows (NTS) is a geography program 
intended for use by middle grade school students. However it is useful 
for anyone wanting to learn the geography of the United States. It is 
programmed to run with Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, and Windows 
95. It may reside on a floppy disk or hard drive. 

With NTS you can learn, then test your knowledge about the United 
States and its capitals. You'll find out when each state came into the 
union, its' nickname and why it's called that. The program is 
completely 'menu driven' and has six (6) modes of operation:

1) Study states - The states are displayed in a random order showing the 
    state capital, date in union, state nickname and how the nickname 
    came to be, and a piece of trivia about the state.

2) Test on states - A state is highlighted on the US map, and displayed 
    on an inset. The user is then asked to select which state this is from 
    four choices. The states are displayed randomly as are the multiple 
    choice. This state can be put back in the shuffle if desired. If the 
    answer is correct, the state is removed from the shuffle and painted 
    on the US map. A right/wrong score is then displayed. If the 
    answer is wrong, the state is removed from shuffle and saved for 
    review after all 50 states have been presented. In either case the data 
    on each state is displayed when the answer is given (ie: capital, date
    in union, etc...).

3) Test on capitals - This is the same as 'Test on states' mode except the 
    multiple choice is of four (4) different cities.

4) Show states - A state name is given and the user selects that state 
    from the U.S. Map. A mouse is required for this mode.

5) Show capitals - A state capital is given and the user selects the state 
    with that capital from the U.S. Map. A mouse is required for this 
    mode.

6) Review - This mode is entered automatically if any answer was 
    incorrect. A review of all missed states or capitals is presented.
