- ABC FUN KEYS REVISION HISTORY
- -----------------------------
-
-
- I owe a great deal of thanks to many users of the ABC FUN KEYS
- program for their ideas which you see incorporated below. I
- sincerely welcome any suggestions you may have that will make
- this program more enjoyable for little children.
-
- ABC FUN KEYS VER. 4.12
- ----------------------
- * Added the command line parameter /T to allow the user to
- adjust the tempo of the nursery rhyme songs.
-
- * Made a slight change to correct an "operational
- inconsistency" that caused a return to the adult setup menu
- on succeeding games. (Nice euphemism for bug.)
-
-
- ABC FUN KEYS VER. 4.11
- ----------------------
- * Added a feature to the control panel to allow the number of
- pictures played in a game to be limited. At the end of the
- selected number of pictures, the "childs" menu is displayed.
-
- * Fixed a small bug that caused the command line parameter /Q
- (totally quiet operation) not to work correctly. (Blush)
-
-
- ABC FUN KEYS VER. 4.10
- ----------------------
- * Added on-screen scrolling lyrics for all twenty-seven
- nursery rhyme songs.
-
- * Many of the nursery rhyme melodies have been revised and
- improved. * MANY THANKS * to Jeff Elhai of East Lansing,
- Michigan for these corrections and improvements! Jeff also
- provided many of the other suggestions which have been
- incorporated in this latest release. Thank you Jeff!
-
- * Shut off NUM Lock, Scroll Lock, and Caps Lock upon initial
- entry to program to avoid confusion with several features.
-
- * Added functional arrow keys to the opening kids menu.
-
- * Added adjustable timing for Game 3 and the corresponding
- control panel settings.
-
- * Added an option for easy program restart and exit.
-
- * Added an option to allow PrtScreen to function.
-
- * The number of songs can be set with a command line parameter
- to allow users to add their own songs.
-
- * Made several changes to differentiate between the registered
- user and shareware versions of the program in the opening
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- copyright screen and windowed "THANK YOU" screen.
