1.Ole! 2000 - Set 1 - the basic program set of the series.
It is structured in 100 units of 20 entries each and consists of vocabulary
groups, verb conjugation groups, short stories, expression groups & special
usage groups.  This program set also includes creating and editing routines.
This program was designed under the premise that a language is learned faster
if it is approached in short segments.  Therefore, there are only 20 items to
each drill unit.  In addition, the first ten items rotate position with the
last ten items at each sequence (except for short stories) to insure a more
even impact of all the material in each unit.  The user has control over
content and level of difficulty through unit selection.  Once a unit has been
mastered, the student can immediately move on to new material.  Each item is
presented for matching by user input and scoring is automatic.  However, input
for matching is not required.  The student can obtain correct translations by
pressing enter and proceed through the units until ready to match.  Early input
for matching and scoring is encouraged and every correct match is rewarded with
an encouraging statement of praise.   In addition  a score of 15(+) will be
rewarded with one of three musical tunes.
This program also differs from others in that accented characters are entered
in the manner that a Spanish writer would stroke them.  The most valuable
aspect of the program set may be the creating and editing routines which allow
the user to create an endless number of drills at his or her particular need
and level.  From this view, the program has value forever. The program was
designed as a tool for teachers with the 100 units included as a start and as
examples.  Ole!  2000 was originally named Drills in Spanish; but since it was
created to avoid the dull labor that the word drills connotates, please use the
new title.

2. Ole! Tourist 1000
This program set has the same operating routine as Ole! 2000 but consists of 50
units of 20 entries each written specifically for the tourist.  It is different
also in that the entries are 95% complete phrases.  The goal here was to give
the tourist something really useful - the phrases one would most likely hear or
want to say.  THIS SET COMES WITH A 90 MINUTE CASSETTE recorded by Mexican
nationals of the same 1000 entries and includes a printed script.  This program
does not include the creating and editing routines.

3. Ole! 2000 - Shareware version
This program set is identical to Ole! 2000 except it contains only 40 units of
20 entries, a few of which are from the Tourist group; and does not contain the
creating and editing routines which are reserved for registered users.  This
Try & See How You Like It program set contains ample material for its purpose.

4. Computor dictionary
A very fast access computor dictionary of some 2500 commonly used words in both
English to Spanish and Spanish to English format.  This can be purchased with
either of the registered program sets.

5. Story Book and Cassettes
A dual translation book of humorous short stories along with a recorded reading
of same - two 90 minute cassette readings by South American nationals.  BRUN45   EXE = compiler run module
