Keydrill typing course.
=======================
Origin.
-------
I found this program on the NEABBS bulletin board (Amsterdam, Holland),
in the section for the IBM-PC. I have adapted it to run on the Amiga
under AmigaBasic, and added this read.me file. The author's name is in
the program listing.
Files in the archive.
---------------------
read.me...........installation & user guide
ck.bas............main program
title.............the title screen
menu..............the menu screen
lesinf............lesson information (type, timing, etc)
lessons...........text for the typing lessons
drills............the typing drills
rancon.bas........utility program that generates the lessons work files
rancond.bas.......utility program that generates the drills work files
Installation.
-------------
Unpack the archive into some directory and make that your current dir.
Before you can run the program, you must generate the lessons and drills
work files as follows:
- Make sure that AmigaBasic is somewhere in your path or current dir.
- Start rancon.bas with 'run amigabasic rancon.bas'; after the message
'now run the varous programs' has been displayed, enter 'cont'.
While displaying the lesson numbers, the program will now read the
lessons file and generate two new files:
- lesran............random file with the lessons text (for faster access)
- lesst.............index to lesran.
- Start rancond.bas with 'run "rancond.bas"'; after the message
'now run the varous programs' has been displayed, enter 'cont'.
While displaying the numbers of the lessons that contain drills, the
program will now read the drills file and generate two new files:
- drilran...........random file with the typing drills (for faster access)
- drist.............index to drilran.
- You can now exit AmigaBasic by entering 'system', or run the main
program straight away with 'run "ck.bas"'.
- You may now delete the following files from your current dir:
- rancon.bas - rancond.bas
- lessons - drills
- lesran.info - drilran.info
- lesst.info - drist.info
Usage.
------
CD to the directory in which you placed the program and files; make sure
that AmigaBasic is in your path or current dir.
The program needs the following files in the current dir in order to run:
title.............the title screen
menu..............the menu screen
lesinf............lesson information (type, timing, etc)
lesran............random file with the lessons text
lesst.............index to lesran
drilran...........random file with the typing drills
drist.............index to drilran
Start the program from the CLI with 'run amigabasic ck.bas', or from
AmigaBasic with 'run "ck.bas"'.
From here on the program will tell you what to do. Use the Escape key
to end any lesson or drill at any time.
Success!
