NEW FEATURES IN ABC FUN KEYS VER. 4.0
-------------------------------------
A great deal of changes and work have gone into the upgrade from
ABC FUN KEYS Version 3.0 to 4.0. Although by itself unimportant,
the program was completely revised to use Borland's Turbo C 2.0.
This change facilitated a host of powerful new features like
monochrome monitor support and full screen graphics. Many other
screen functions including windows are from Mike Smedley's
excellent shareware "CXL Extended Function Library". New
features in ABC FUN KEYS include:
* Support for monochrome monitors using the Hercules graphics
standard. (This required a lot of code.)
* Addition of Game 2 -- Guess Quick.
* Addition of Game 3 -- Heaven & Mud. (More code.)
* The addition of the Children's Picture Menu to the game
opening.
* The addition of command line control parameters.
* The addition of game configuration files to save letter and
feature selections.
* The addition of lower case letters in the alphabet picture
files.
* A greatly improved Picture Selection & Control Menu.
* A help screen for the Picture Selection & Control Menu.
* The ability to synchronize the nursery rhyme songs to the
pictures.
* Improved picture compression technique so the program takes
up less space on disk.
* Use of a single file for nursery rhyme songs to cut down on
wasted cluster space on disk. (I really had to push hard to
get this program to fit on a single diskette!)
I owe a great deal of thanks to many users of ABC FUN KEYS for
their ideas which you see incorporated above. I sincerely
welcome any suggestions you may have that will make this program
more enjoyable for little children.
