IdioMagic Software. (Demo Release 2.2)
The purpose of the IdioMagic software comes in 2 folds: 1) to teach idioms 2)
to provide users (including native speakers of English) with a handy idiom
reference. The reference is a "smart" feature of IdioMagic. The DICTIONARY
allows an easy way of looking up an idiom. The THESAURUS will find idioms for
you, which match with a particular meaning, idea or situation.
What's NEW? Version 2.2 has PROGRESS CHART that shows how well you are doing
on each idiom, and you can directly review a particular idiom while you are on
the Progress Chart screen. Quizzes and exercises will try to include idioms
that you answered incorrectly during previous quizzes and exercises, more so
than those you have answered correctly. Also, incompatibility with some old
monochrome videos is now fixed.
The file IDIOM.ZIP should include the following files:
IDIOM.EXE the program IDIOMD.BIN data file
IDIOMD.IND data file IDIOMD.CON data file
IDIOMD1.HLP - IDIOMD9.HLP help files INTRO.DOC introduction screen
READTHIS this file file_id.diz file I.D.
When you use IdioMagic for the first time, the program creates 2 small files:
IDIOMD.SCO (score) and IDIOMD.SYS (system information)
All of the files above should be copied to the same directory either to a hard
disk or a floppy disk. If you have a hard disk, copy the files to it, but
first make a sub-directory by typing:
<COMMANDS> <Explanations>
c: (Enter) log on to C drive
cd \ (Enter) go to root directory
md idiom (Enter) make IDIOM sub-directory
cd idiom (Enter) go to IDIOM sub-directory
Now you can copy the floppy disk that contains IdioMagic files
to the hard disk in IDIOM sub-directory by typing:
copy a:*.* c: (Enter) copies files from drive A
If you are copying from the drive B, type:
copy b:*.* c: (Enter)
(Of course the above copy was meant for the files that were "unzipped"
onto a floppy disk)
When you want to start the program, log on to the disk/directory
that contains the files:
a: (Enter) or
b: (Enter) for a floppy disk operations or
or
c: (Enter) for a hard disk
cd \idiom (Enter)
Then type:
idiom (Enter) starts IdioMagic
