    TOTAL RECALL is a complete learning program designed to help you learn
    almost any subject or language.  It's a self-instruction tool that makes
    memorizing as painless as possible.  It's fast, efficient, powerful, yet
    easy to use: everything is menu-driven.

    Although learning involves much more than just memorizing, it is never-
    theless true that for many subjects, memorizing is the first step to
    understanding.

    If you've ever had to study a foreign language or memorize a lot of
    words, terms, phrases, facts, acronyms, formulas, or dates you've pro-
    bably had to do it the hard way:  First, you had to make up scores of
    index cards.  Then you had to spend hours shuffling, sorting, grouping,
    and spreading them all over your desk 'till you were lost in confusion.
    You've probably enlisted unwilling friends to flash the cards at you or
    test you until you became friendless.  Wouldn't it be nice if there was
    a better way to memorize?   Well, now there is with TOTAL RECALL.

    TOTAL RECALL may be used to study pre-written Subject Files supplied by
    Zoft Systems, or it may be used to study your own subjects.

    Enter any subject you wish to learn or memorize into TOTAL RECALL.  It
    then helps you LEARN, DRILL, REVIEW, and TEST on the material quickly
    and effortlessly.  TOTAL RECALL automatically keeps track of your weak-
    nesses and gives you the most practice in those areas, thus saving you
    hours of time and work.  It helps you organize and manage your studying
    too:  you can PRINT, EDIT, ADD, COPY, MERGE, etc.  Multiple users can
    study multiple subjects.  Files can be as large as disk will hold.

    TOTAL RECALL is a self-instruction tool rather than a testing tool. Even
    though many of the activities involve questions and answers in various
    forms, the emphasis is on learning rather than testing.  Thus, guessing
    is not to your advantage, you're always shown the correct answer right
    after you get a wrong answer, and multiple choices are selected in such
    a way that if you know the answer, the other answers should appear
    obviously wrong so as to avoid confusion.

    TOTAL RECALL is menu-driven and easy to use.  The printed manual which
    comes with the Registered Version of TOTAL RECALL should cover any
    function or operation that you may need to know about in detail.  The
    printed manual also describes in detail the best techniques for using
    TOTAL RECALL.

    This is the Copyrighted Registered Version of TOTAL RECALL and is NOT
    public domain or free software.

    Non-registered users of this software are required to obtain a license
    prior to using this program.

    Operators of Electronic Bulletin Board Systems (Sysops) are warned NOT
    to post this Registered Version of TOTAL RECALL for downloading by their
    users.  Only the Shareware Version can be allowed on Bulletin Boards.
    Under no circumstances should the Registered Version be allowed on any
    Bulletin Board.

                 └┴┴───────┴──────────────────────────────┴┴┘

    This new version of TOTAL RECALL allows you to attach PCX graphics or
    pictures to your entries.  This allows you to enhance your learning
    material with visual information when appropriate.  For example, when
    studying historical figures, you may find it helpful to be able to see
    what the person looked like.

    Where can you get pictures to add to your Subject Files?  There are
    several ways you can do this:

    1) If you own a hand-scanner or a full page scanner (or if you have a
    friend who does), you can scan a picture from a photograph (book,
    magazine, etc.) and then convert it to PCX format.

    2) If you own a video grabber circuit card, you can use a camcorder to
    shoot the picture and then import it into your computer and convert it
    to the PCX format.

    3) You can draw a diagram of your learning material and save it as a PCX
    picture with various drawing and painting programs.

    4) You can buy PCX files from various shareware catalogs collections of
    clip art (make sure you specify PCX format).

    5) You can convert other formats to PCX using various conversion
    programs.

    6) You can use a screen grabber to "grab" a picture from another
    application.

    7) Soon, we will be adding Subject Files with PCX pictures to our
    Library.  As a registered user you will be notified when this happens.
