ABOUT SEA SCHOOL & MATH WAVES
-----------------------------
The Sea School Series consists of 3 volumes of software designed to teach and
exercise basic early childhood education skills. This volume, called Math
Waves, introduces and drills math skills. Within this program, there are 5
major content areas covering these skills. Later in this document,
descriptions and directions for each of the 5 areas are discussed.
Sea School is shareware. You are free to evaluate this software for 30 days,
after which you must either register with MVP Software or delete the software
from your system. Thanks for playing Sea School and for supporting
shareware. Your honesty pays.
This is volume one of the Sea School trilogy.

INSTALLATION
------------
If you downloaded this file from a BBS, you don't need to run Install. If you
purchased an evaluation disk from a shareware vendor or the store, follow these
directions. To install Sea School, place the diskette into the A drive and
type A:, or into the B drive and type B:. When the A> or B> prompt appears on
the screen, type INSTALL. Follow the directions to install the software.
To begin the game type SEA.
NOTE TO WINDOWS USERS
---------------------
Sea School will run as a DOS application, spawned under Windows, but you may
encounter sound card conflicts. The best solution if you run into conflicts
is to completely exit from Windows before starting Sea School. Clicking on
the DOS prompt is NOT exiting Windows. You must actually close your Windows
session.

SEA SCHOOL AND THE SOUND BLASTER 16
-----------------------------------
The Sound Blaster 16 sound card causes special problems, especially in 486 DX2
systems. If the game locks up, try running it without digitized sound effects.
Another option is to include the following command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET SB-SET FM:9,9
This command may also make the music louder if it is too soft on your SB 16.
MAKING A CLEAN BOOT DISK
------------------------
If you encounter problems running Sea School there may be a conflict between
it and a program resident in memory. Here's a way to avoid the conflict.
Place a blank, unformatted diskette into drive A of your computer. Then type
FORMAT A:/S/U
and press enter. When the computer is finished formatting the disk and
copying the system files to it, press the RESET button on your computer or the
ALT-CTRL-DEL keys at the same time. After your computer has rebooted, go to
the Sea School directory and play the game. If it runs, there is a conflict
between a resident program loaded by your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file.
Whenever you want to play Sea School, simply reboot your computer with the
boot disk you have created.
