-
- Ver. 1.2
-
-
- Welcome to SPELLB Version 1.2. This program will help
- you to learn to spell some words.
-
- HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:
-
- There are no unusual requirements for anything over 256K
- RAM, and a color monitor. The program should run fine from
- a floppy.
-
- DESCRIPTION/DIRECTIONS:
-
- SPELLB is a spelling tutor in game form which flashes
- random words on-screen for a moment, then when they
- disappear, you try to spell them. It then tracks your
- score, lets you know correct spelling if you misspell
- a word, and offers a misspelled word list after you are
- done either on your monitor OR printed to paper.
-
-
-
- Type SPELLB at the DOS prompt to start the program.
- The program starts at the Intro screen, then the main menu
- will be displayed. The menus throughout the program may
- be negotiated using the arrow keys, or by pressing the
- number next to your selection, then pressing [ENTER].
-
- You may choose to vary the speed at which the words are
- dislayed by selecting the Speed option (because of the
- variety of computer speeds, this may be necessary), and
- you may disable the sound effects by choosing that option.
-
- Then when you select Begin, you will be prompted for
- how many words you want to spell this session. You can enter
- any number up to 100. (100 per session is the maximum.)
-
- After you enter your number of words, there will be a brief
- pause, and then a word will be flashed on the screen for
- a brief moment, and then disappear. You will then be ready
- to enter the word yourself. If you enter it incorrectly, you
- will be told you have misspelled it, and you will be given
- the correct spelling. If you enter it correctly, you will be
- told so, and in either case, your score will be recorded and
- another word will be displayed until you reach the number of
- words you picked. The words are shown at random from a list
- of hundreds. A few easy, but many difficult words are included.
-
- After you complete the words, you will be shown how many you
- missed out of the number you picked, and given the option to
- print the words missed, or leave the program. If you choose to
- print the missed words, you will be prompted to ready your
- printer, and then after they are printed you may either exit
- the program, or restart. If you restart, all options will be
- set back to 'default'(normal settings).
- Or, with this version, you can also print them to the screen.
-
- * NEW: *
-
- With this version, we have made the following additions:
-
- 1. Over 400 words now included.
-
- 2. Menus throughout the program make it even easier to
- negotiate.
-
- 3. Now twice as many speed variations as earlier versions.
-
- 4. Improved sound effects.
-
- 5. Option to print missed words to screen OR printer.
-
- 6. Improved appearance throughout, and many internal
- changes allowing smoother operation and the ability
- to exit from almost anywhere, or restart.
