- is different from most grading programs in that it is set up to work just
- like your gradebook, only better. Names and grades appear as they would in
- a physical gradebook, but there are also automatically generated individual
- student reports. Complete help screens and registration information are

- takes too long, the program beeps. It keeps track of the problems the
- student misses so they can be retested. You can set the tables to work
- with, and satisfactory and maximum time allowed. And if you miss a problem,
- you immediately get the answer. It's not a flashy program, but much better
- than using (or making) paper flash cards. Any child will benefit from the
- practice. The author wants a postcard from you if you like the program.
