- Dunno what is Mavis Beacon, but I know of two programs which are
- available: they are named "letters" and "ttype". Letters is a game
- where words (/usr/words/dict) fall down the screen.
-
- Archie for 'em.
-
- "letters" was posted to alt.sources a few months ago, so should be in the
- archives for that group.
-
- There is another tutorial program called "typist". Get the file
- "typist.tar.Z" on cs.rochester.edu in /pub.
