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.
