- 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.
