===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
SATCon, The SAT Score Converter
Have You Been Converted?
If you've ever wondered how your SAT scores compare with older or newer
SAT scores, then SATCon, the SAT Score Converter, is for you...
Beginning in the fall of 1994 for the PSAT and in 1995 for the regular
SAT-I, the College Board "recentered" the scores for the Scholastic
Assessment Tests. When the current S.A.T. format was adopted in 1941, a
score of 500 was the median score for both Math and Verbal sections. By
1994 a variety of causes had made the average Math score 470 and the
average Verbal score between 420 and 430. The College Board decided to
"recenter" the scoring on the tests, making 500 once again the median
according to standards from 1993 and 1994.
The S.A.T. Score Conversion Program, or SATCon for short, will help you
interpret your scores. Enter the score you want to convert. Click one
of the four buttons for the type of conversion you want to make, and read
the converted score. That way you can see how the score fits in with the
scores from other testing times! It may even help you judge whether you
can likely get in to a particular college...

===== Installation =====================================
First, make sure VBRUN300.DLL is in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Then,
to install SATCon, simply run the program SETUP.EXE whihc comes with
the SATCon file. This can be done by Clicking on the "File" menu and then
the "Run" menu and entering the drive, directory, and program name
"SETUP.EXE." (In Windows 95 follow a similar procedure using "Start" and
"Run.") You may also do this by double-clicking on the SETUP.EXE name
while in File Manager or Windows Explorer.
To run the program, click or double click on the new SATCON icon you just
installed just as you would to run any program.
For more details and information on running SATCON and its features,
including PSAT scores, click on "Help" and "Help Commands" to get the
Help file (SATCON.HLP). You may also read the file SATCON.TXT for
similar information if you are not running SATCon.
SATCON may be distributed freely without charge as long as all files are
kept together and are unaltered. That includes the SATCON.EXE file, this
SATCON.HLP file, the SATCON.TXT file, and any icon files. Bona fide
shareware dealers may charge a nominal fee for the copying of files. Any
commercial distribution without permission of the author is prohibited.
That includes any retail sale of shareware or public domain software
except where the shareware concept is clearly understood.
The main reason this is being distributed freely is to promote the
author's PC-compatible SAT study software, Verbal Vanquish and SAT
Vanquish. Registered users of those programs should contact the author to
get a copy of SATCON without the "ad" at the end. Other users may send
the author $5.00 in US funds only for a copy without the ad. Master Card
and Visa Accepted. CompuServe members may purchase these via GO SWREG.
For Verbal Vanquish, get product number359,for SAT Vanquish, get product
number 4976.
Like many Windows programs, SATCon needs the file VBRUN300.DLL in order
to run. Put it in your Windows\System directory. Chances are, you
probably have it. If not, it is readily available from most on-line
services, bulletin boards, and shareware dealers. Otherwise, it works as
long as all other files are in the same directory.

Contents of VENDOR.TXT:
This file contains our distribution policy and information on all our
products. We have a simple distribution policy: You have permission to
distribute our shareware in its original, unaltered form as long as you
1) Identify it as shareware (with an appropriate definition)
2) Leave all intellectual property and copyright notices in place
....and as long as we do not request you to stop.
You may archive our programs, unarchive them, include/exclude optional
files (like this VENDOR.TXT file), include them with other programs on
the same diskette, and do essentially anything you want as long as you
respect the integrity of the program and all copyright laws, even if you
may not be subject to them. We want the widest possible distribution,
and we do notwant to stand in your way so long as you are honest with our
mutual customer.
If you are distributing in vending rack or point-of-purchase sales,
please request our permission. This is the only area which it seems that
customers do not understand shareware. ASP, ESC, Walnut Creek, Simtel,
Garbo, Winsite, SICS, PC-SIG, Washington State, STAR, Way Cool, Bongo,
EMS, APCUG, PC-related periodical, and Night Owl collections are
pre-authorized to include our programs on CD-ROM.
This is our normal distribution sequence:
1. New versions are offered to our registered users and distributed to
all users who have registered within a year of the release date.
2. New versions are posted on CompuServe (use IBMFF with ID 70730,3001).
3. New versions are released through SDNet. If you have a BBS and
do not belong to SDNet, please consider joining this international
network.
4. All ASP and ESC distribution members are included in the regular ASP
and ESC CD-ROM. This saves us both time and money. If you are not an
ASP vendor member or bulletin board member, please consider
joining. If you work a lot with educational materials, consider
joining the ESC (Educational Software Cooperative).
5. We also send copies of major revisions of our software to vendors and
bulletin boards who have notified us of their interest. If you are
a catalog house, please send us a catalog or copy of your
distribution diskette. We will be glad to keep you updated.
We also provide updates to all distributors who are named
by registered users as their source. If you are on the ASP, ESC, or
SDN distributions, this may not be necessary and would save both of
us a little time.
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints, please contact me:
