GEOGRAPHY TUTOR
The author has created an educational and fun
Geography program called GEOGRAPHY TUTOR. Glenn Brown in the NCAUG
Ottawa Newsletter has said it is one of the best educational
program he has seen. Writing in RESET (Vol 1 Issue #3 P14-15)
Bob Thompson gave a very good review and pointed out in particular
the "excellent user interface".
See the readme file provided with this shareware version of
the program for more details.

SPANISH VERB TUTOR Published by Artworx, Inc. Penfield N.Y.
This program is designed to help the user learn, revise or check the
proper conjugation of all Spanish verbs. The author believes that
learning with your computer should be made as easy and enjoyable
as possible.
The program is initialized to communicate its instructions to you
in English. If you prefer to communicate in French, Spanish or German
you can do so by choosing that language on the first screen presented
to you. You can also choose to change the language of communication
from the Main Menu at any time.
ALL THE SPANISH VERBS
* 1,250,000 DIFFERENT WORDS
* 16 LEARNING LEVELS
* 75 CLEAR LESSONS
* 12,000 DIFFERENT VERBS
* ALL MODES
* ALL TENSES
* ALL PERSONS
* QUIZES AND FULL TABLES
* BEGINNING * INTERMEDIATE
* ADVANCED * PROFESSIONAL
* INTERACTS WITH THE USER IN SPANISH, FRENCH, ENGLISH OR GERMAN.
This program is designed to help both the beginning
student and the fluent speaker in the use of all Spanish verbs.
For the beginning and intermediate student the program
permits gradual learning and practice of all Spanish modes, tenses
and persons of all regular verbs as well as a few of the most
frequently used irregular verbs. This is done through 75 lessons
in 16 levels of learning. The lessons review increasingly complex
verb forms. Each is followed by a practice quiz which is graded
and referenced for future reference.
For the intermediate and advanced student the program permits
graded drills through any of 12000 verbs in any mode or tense at
the student's choice.
For advanced students as well as teachers and native Spanish
speakers and writers, the program makes all the exact forms of
more than 12000 verbs instantaneously available. Thus the user
gets immediate access to the correct spelling AND correct accents
of more than 1,250,000 different words.
The program works on ATARI 520ST OR 1040ST, in monochrome or
medium resolution color modes. Comes packaged on single sided
diskette and is not copy protected.

GFA_BILD PROGRAM
This program (GFA_BILD) is designed to help the GFA BASIC
programmer save a great amount of time and effort in building
sophisticated mouse driven programs. All code developed by GFA_BILD
(except the author boxes) will work equally on colour
(medium resolution) and monochrome monitors.
The program assumes that the user is thoroughly familiar with
GFA_BASIC and has some experience in programming. One need not
however be an expert to use this program it was developed to
permit relatively inexperienced programmers to prepare
sophisticated applications and advanced programmers to save time.
Every part of GFA_BILD was used in the construction of GFA_BILD
itself. A boot strap program as it were.
Though GFA_BILD is self contained, its output can only be used
in conjunction with your GFA BASIC interpreter. GFA_BILD will create
ascii files which you can then incorporate into your programs through
the MERGE function of GFA BASIC.
MENU:
-New_menu:
The most powerful function of GFA_BILD is this
NEW MENU. It will create a complete
program shell for you. You simply define each
menu heading and subheading and it creates all
the procedures to permit the mouse to access
each subheading. You can then merge this into an
empty GFA BASIC program and test it immediately.
BOXES:
The box functions of GFA_BILD are:
-Alert boxes: this will create the code for an
alert box of your choice. Note that this function
is quite a simple call in GFA_BASIC. The advantage
of using GFA_BILD to develop it, is that it permits
testing of line lenght and exact messages directly.
-Author boxes: This will create an author box (or
any other message which you wish). You can select
the size of the box as well as the size and style
of the text for each line. The message can be as
long as the box will contain. The code generated
is the only one which is not automatically corrected
for colour (medium resolution) and mono monitor.
You should develop separate author boxes for both
system, or else use the message boxes option.
-Message boxes: This is identical to the Author
boxes except that you are given fewer choices for
the size of texts. Because of this, the code
generated can be used equally well in monochrome
or medium resolution.
-Radio Button boxes: This is the most sophisticated of
the boxes functions in GFA_BILD. It permits you to
build a dialog box of any size (up to full screen)
and to have as many on/off buttons as the size of
the box will accomodate. You can choose the size
and style of the text for the title of the box as
well as for the label of each button. The code
generated is automatically adjusted for colour or
monochrome monitor.
FILES:
Program ANALYZE aids are the next item on the main menu line.
-Id_Variables: Will prepare a disk or screen file
of all variables in alphabetical order together
with a full ordered cross reference to the line numbers
where they are used in the program. The CROSS
REFERENCER also tells you whether the value of the
variable was changed on any line. Since GFA_BASIC
does not number lines, a full program listing
with line numbers is also generated.
-Analyze_Program: Will prepare a disk or screen
file of all program functions and/or loops and their
line numbers. The line numbers are as defined
above. This is an extremely useful programming
aid to review the structure of a program. One can
choose to review only procedure beginning and end
as well as where they are called from. One could
also choose to review other loops such as
FOR/NEXT, IF/ENDIF, WHILE/WEND etc..
-List on screen: lists any ascii saved
file from a disk to the screen. It is useful to
check the files created by the analyze and
id_variables programs above.
