- This is !Type, version 1.6 (19 Feb 1996)
-
- Use
- =========
- The program is designed to give you typing practice. It is not a typing
- tutor, but you may well eventually find it helpful to keep your fingers
- on the correct key positions, and to look at the screen, where the
- keyboard is drawn out, not the keys as I still do!
-
- If you click in the empty box, a timer is started, and you can type
- in the sequence of characters in the box above. When you reach the end
- press return and your time and your accuracy are updated. Missed or extra
- characters really mess up your accuracy so you are encouraged to carefully
- keep your eyes on the screen rather than the keyboard. Anyway I could
- not be fagged to make it easier.
-
- A new sequence then comes up. After completing this line the accuracy
- and time for this line, and for the cumulative ones are given. When all
- the tests are completed your, achievements come up. If you are not fed up
- just type it in and you will start again.
-
- Finally you may get fed up with the phrases in the program, but these
- can easily be edited by loading the file 'tests' into !Edit, and changing
- them as you wish. However you will have problems if any line is made
- longer than the box provided for it. Also the last entry must have no
- Carriage return. (&0D)
-
- In this version (1.2) there are now 5 levels, but as I am not original enough
- to make up more appropriate phrases, (how about it doom watcher),
- I have shared out the originals over the 5 tests. If you want more levels
- you can edit the 5 in line 960, and add other suitable textfiles, suitably
- named.
-
- In version 1.6 I have included a more user friendly interface, and have
- included new tempkates for RiscPC keyboards.
