- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- WELCOME TO FASTYPE -- TYPING TUTORIAL FOR WINDOWS
-
- This package contains the FasType Typing Tutorial for Windows
- (Version 5.0), by Trendtech Corporation. This document contains
- only a brief description of the package and its features, along
- with instructions for its installation. Quite detailed documentation
- is included in the package, but it is in archived form, and is more
- easily read after installation.
-
- Please read the file named README.1ST for more details about
- installation and use of FasType.
-
-
- If you've ever wished you could type like the pros, handle the keyboard
- deftly like a delicate instrument, and become more productive at your
- PC, then FasType is the program for you.
-
-
- FasType is a shareware program. This evaluation version includes
- all features of the program that you need to perform a full evaluation
- of its functionality. Modules that are only available with the
- registered version include the TYPING HISTORY pringing module and the
- PC-AT Style keyboard display; otherwise the program is not crippled in
- any way. You may use it for up to 30 days, without charge (see
- LICENSE.DOC for more details). If you like the program, and wish to
- continue its use after this evaluation period, you are required to pay
- for the program (see REGISTER.TXT for more details). Any fee you may
- have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to obtain this
- evaluation version was a fee for their copying and distribution services,
- rather than a payment for continued use of the program.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
-
- **** INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ****
-
- If you downloaded FasType from a BBS or on-line service, then
- you have to first un-zip the file into a temp directory then run
- SETUP from the temporary directory.
-
- If you're installing from either a sub-directory, a
- temporary directory, or from a distribution floppy, or from a CD-
- ROM, simply perform the following steps:
-
- o Bring up Windows
-
- o Run SETUP using either the Windows File Manager, or
- the File/Run... menu selection. If you're running
- from the File Manager, select the PATH where
- FasType's SETUP.EXE program resides, and click on
- it to start the SETUP process.
-
- o From the FILE/RUN menu, type A:SETUP or B:SETUP or
- whichever floppy or CD-ROM address the FasType
- files reside.
-
- o Follow the instructions as you proceed through the
- install process
-
-
- At the end of installation, the setup program will create a
- Program Group with several icons and prompt you for selections of
- what to do next.
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: FasType CANNOT be installed onto and run from
- floppies!

-
-
- TO RUN FASTYPE:
-
- From the FasType Program Group, double-click on the ICON that
- says FASTYPE.
-
-
- WHAT TO DO NEXT:
-
- The Title Window will appear and stay in view while FasType
- loads its tables and auxiliary files. Next, the Shareware
- Information screen will appear. Please read it carefully; FasType
- is distributed on a try-before-you-buy basis, and you have 30 days
- to evaluate the program. Click on OK to get past this screen.
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE ** IMPORTANT NOTE ** IMPORTANT NOTE
- ====================================================
- ONCE YOU'VE EXCEEDED THE EVALUATION PERIOD, THE
- STARTUP DISPLAY AND ALL SHAREWARE INFORMATION
- SCREENS WILL PERSIST ON THE DISPLAY FOR LONGER AND
- LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. HOWEVER, YOU WILL STILL BE
- ABLE TO USE FASTYPE AND ALL AVAILABLE FEATURES!
- PLEASE READ THE OPENING AND CLOSING SHAREWARE
- INFORMATION SCREENS FOR MORE DETAILS.
- ====================================================
-
-
- SELECTING MENU ITEMS:
-
- Choose a Typing Drill or Exercise from the SKILL MENU, then
- click the mouse on START TYPING, or -- more preferably, type
- <Alt>+<s> to select the menu item START TYPING from the keyboard.
-
-
- WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO:
-
- For DRILLS: Place the fingers of each hand on the home keys
- (ASDF JKL;) and type each letter as you are prompted for it. The
- program selects the letters randomly. When the drill is finished
- your WPM and other statistics will be displayed on a typing
- statistics screen.
-
-
- For EXERCISES: lines of text will be displayed above the
- screen keyboard; type each character pointed to by the character
- pointer (there are four to choose from) and when you reach the
- paragraph marker symbol or end of the line, press the enter key, or
- the space bar. When you finish typing the exercise your WPM and
- other statistics will be displayed.
-
-
- To STOP TYPING, you can press the ESCAPE key anytime, click
- the mouse on the STOP TYPING menu item, or type <Alt>+<s> again.
-
-
- SYNC-CHEK
-
- FasType has "SyncChek". As you follow the cursor while typing
- exercise lines, sometimes you can be "off-by-one". That is, the
- letters you are typing don't match the letter over the cursor -
- you're "off-by-one", - either ahead or behind. SyncChek will solve
- that problem. This feature will detect that you're typing "off-by-
- "one" and adjust the cursor's position accordingly, either one ahead
- or one behind, thus putting you back on track. Your keystroke
- penalty for being "off-by-one" is at most two keystrokes instead
- of the usual six or seven.
