Introduction
-------------
MathMaster v3.01 is a Math Tutorial Program, that helps
ages 8 and up practice, Addition, Multiplication, Division
and Subtraction, written using Quickbasic v4.5.
I wrote this to be educational and to be fun while they
use it. This is one of the first programs(not the first
version) I wrote, orginally written on the C-64.
When I got this Leading Edge Model D2,I proceded to convert
the C-64 Version over to the IBM PC/AT Compatible. Time went
by and I lost the Commodore 64 source. I want to thank all
those who have helped me,by making comments about my previous
versions. They are too many to name,so I thank them all.
(They know who they are.)
Now I bet you are asking is what makes this program
different enough to warrant the time to take look at it.
Well, I will tell you. Most programs have the cursor move
from the right to left. I wanted MathMaster to be different,
while teaching the person the correct way to do math.
When the person does a problem. Instead of the cursor
going left to right,it goes right to left. (Except the
Division problems.)
This program is Copyrighted 1990,1991 James Frazee.
Help support shareware by registering this software if you plan
to use this longer than 30 days. (See Page #5 for more information
on how to register this fine program.)
This version of Math Master will only work on 80286 or better machines.
The reason for this is that I used a Assembly rountine to improve the
program tremonously,but the trade off is loosing the people who have
the IBM XT Compatibles. If you rather have the lower quality graphics
and the ability of auto-detecting the video adapter, then I will.

I make no claims about this program. I have done
everything that I know to keep your system safe. I have

I recommend to use the latest version of Scan. (Which can be found
on many Electronic Bulletin Boards.
Also let whoever you got the file from know so he will not
Infect his/her users.

Setting up the configuration
----------------------------
Within this compressed file should be the file MMASTER.CFG, if
not INSTALL.EXE can create one.

Line #1 is your first and last name.
Line #2 is where your registration code goes. When you receive your
registration code from me, after you register this.
For more information on INSTALL.EXE ,just check the file INSTALL.DOC

Beginners' guide to installing MathMaster
---------------------------------------------
This section here is to help those who are new to computers.
This program does not take a lot of room, so it will fit on
a 360k DS/DD Disk easily.
Installing it to a floppy
---------------------------------
#1 Copy all the file to your formatted floppy.
#2 Type MathMast at the DOS Prompt
Math Master now detects the kind of adapter you are using and adjusts
automatically.
Also you can use INSTALL.EXE which is include with this version of
MathMaster.
(information on that is below.)
How to installing Math Master on a hard drive.
-----------------------------------------------
Installing it on your Hard Drive is as easy as installing it on a floppy
disk. I wrote MathMaster, so it can fit anywhere on your Hard Drive
with no problem of it working.
The subdirectory name is just a name I chose. Just place the name you want the
sub-directory in place of the one I suggest.
#1, Make a Sub-directory called MST301 by typing at your Dos prompt:
MD MST301
#2 Copy all the files from the source disk to the directory you just made.
Read #2 of installing it to a floppy.

Registration
----------------
This program is not Public Domain but Shareware.
This means that you must register this software if
you plan to use it, more than the trial period of 30
days.
If you feel that MathMaster is not worth the $5.00
(USA Currency), then after thirty days have passed, you
MUST quit using it.
The author has been hours upon hours of work to make this
program. Show him that you like the work he was done but
registering your copy.
