GENERAL INFORMATION

MasterMind Typing cuts work to about a quarter of any
alternative for learning to touch-type.  The magic is
MasterMind's sensitive way of adjusting repetition for your
progress.  It reads your mind.  In Phase 3, MasterMind
enables you to dazzle friends with eloquent recitations,
while you perfect your typing or for pleasure.

For teachers supervising groups, MasterMind Typing is simple
because mastery by everyone is intrinsic.  There is no
grading.  Specific advice and a printable form for student
records are in the file WhyHowMM.evy.  It is among the
original files, not installed in the MasterMind Typing
directory.  WhyHowMM.evy also explains the science underlying
MasterMind, probably interesting to any user.

Documents in .EVY format are readable and printable with an
Envoy viewer.  As of mid-1996, a free viewer is downloadable
as follows.  In CompuServe, GO PCVENJ, choose
Libraries|TaskingSoftware|Download and enter filename EDVWIN;
or do the equivalent with WinCIM.  In America OnLine, choose
GoTo|SearchSoftwareLibraries and specify keyword EDVWIN.  For
newer Win95 and Macintosh viewers via the Internet,
ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/wordperfect/envoy7_viewers.

MasterMind Typing incorporates runtime ToolBook under license
from Asymetrix Corp.  *.zip file format is compatible with
pkUnzip of PKWare, Inc.


USER LICENSE; MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE

By your authorized use of MasterMind Typing, you accept a
license for a single user on the following terms.  If you
have an unauthorized copy, you have no license and must
destroy the copy promptly to limit your liability for dealing
with contraband.

Version 1.x is the shareware program distributed for free
trial to those who agree to register if the product is
helpful.  After trying version 1.x enough to see whether it
helps you, you must either register or stop using it.

If you register and pay the fee, you get version 2.x
including additional features.  (Site licenses are available
to organizations.)  Version 2.x comes with a 60-day guarantee
of satisfaction.  Version 2.x is not shareware.  Except for
backup, copying version 2.x would make you liable for
infringement of contract, patent and copy rights.

You do not own either version of the software, which embodies
novel designs and trade secrets.  You must not decode, alter
or reverse-engineer the software or aid another to do so. 
Any copy must be complete, including all legal notices.  Any
effort to imitate the software would breach the license and,
besides, probably would violate the copyright and/or the
patent.

Subject to regular procedure, the licensor will accept the
return of unsatisfactory software within sixty days and will
refund the license fee.  The licensor has no other liability. 
There is NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS for use
and no liability for consequential damages.

Breach of any of its provisions automatically cancels the
license.  Any dispute between parties is subject to binding
arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration
Association.  The chosen law is that of the state of
Delaware.  In case of court action to enforce this agreement
or an arbitration award hereunder, the prevailing party shall
recover from the other all costs including reasonable
attorneys' fees.  If you object to any license provision,
your sole recourse is to return the unused product
immediately for refund.


INSTALLATION

The distribution diskette of MasterMind Typing may be:
     1.44M (3.5-inch) or
     1.2M (5.25-inch)
If you got a diskette that your system cannot read, please
contact the supplier.

Please protect your source file(s) before proceeding.  If you
acquired MasterMind Typing on floppy diskettes, please
write-protect them.  If you acquired MasterMind Typing by
modem, please copy the original archive to a floppy (and
write-protect it) or copy to your usual backup medium.  To
protect backup floppies from magnetic fields, they should be
in steel containers, not plastic or aluminum.  A steel desk
drawer or file cabinet is fine.

Please use pkUnZip if your source file is a *.zip archive. 
When you have the constituent files, please run the proper
installation program:

          Under Win95 or NT,  SETUP

          Or under Win3.x,  CONFIG3X.EXE


PRINTING README.TXT

Unless you have our printed manual, it is useful to print
README.txt (about fifteen pages).  Under DOS, if you scroll
the printing instructions onto your screen, you may key
PrintScreen or Shift+PrintScreen to print just that much.

We recommend printing via Notepad of the Windows Accessories,
because it will paginate.  In Notepad, choose File|Open and
specify the file as, for example,
     A:\README.txt
     or
     C:\MMTYPE\README.txt
If neither A: nor C:\MMTYPE is the location of README.txt,
substitute the <drive>:\<path> that you have provided.

With README.txt on-screen in Notepad, the menu choices are
File|Print.  When you exit from Notepad or any editor, please
do NOT save changes.

If you want to print from DOS, a convenient command is, for
example,
     COPY  A:\README.txt  PRN
     or
     COPY  C:\MMTYPE\README.txt  PRN
Again, if neither A: nor C:\MMTYPE is the location of READ-
ME.txt, substitute your actual <drive>:\<path>.


RESOURCES NEEDED

Prerequisite resources are:
     Microsoft Windows 3.x or 95 or NT.
     A processor and memory that supports your Windows
          variant.
     2 Mbytes free on the hard disk.
     EGA or better display, color preferred.
     Mouse (or equivalent, e.g., trackball).

You can check your Windows 3.x mode from Program Manager by
choosing Help|AboutProgramManager.  For MasterMind Typing and
Windows applications generally, the appropriate mode is
"standard" for an 80286 processor, or "enhanced" for a '386
or better.  "Real" mode is incompatible with MasterMind
Typing.  Help|AboutProgramManager also will show Free Memory
(RAM).  With just Windows loaded (before you start any
application such as MasterMind Typing), Free Memory should be
at least 600 Kbytes.


MEMORY CONFIGURATION, XMS REQUIRED

The Microsoft Windows User's Guide discusses memory
configuration in chapter 13 for version 3.0 or chapter 14 for
version 3.1.  The version 3.0 Guide does not explain, though,
that about 384K of your total memory, the portion between
640K and 1 megabyte, is inaccessible to most programs.  The
system design reserves it for hardware support.

For Windows applications, most or all of your configurable
memory--that is, above 1 megabyte--must be extended (XMS),
not expanded (EMS).  XMS is a more efficient way to organize
memory.  If you have an EMS configuration to help older DOS
applications, now is the time to update.  MasterMind Typing
needs at least 500K of XMS memory to run on a '286 processor
in Windows  3.0 standard mode, that is, at least 1.5 Mbytes
total memory.  To use enhanced mode with a '386 or better
processor, you need at least a megabyte of XMS memory, that
is, at least 2 Mbytes total.  Newer versions of Windows
demand more memory.  Without XMS memory, MasterMind Typing
will not run at all.

If you make all the configurable memory XMS, you need to
adjust older applications if they have setup parameters that
rely on EMS.  An older application may slow because only the
conventional 640K RAM will be accessible.  But the publisher
now may have an upgrade version that works with XMS memory
and may be a Windows application too.  If you have enough
memory, it may be possible to configure it as partly EMS and
partly XMS to suit all applications.  With '386 and better
processors, MS-DOS 6.x can reallocate memory between EMS and
XMS dynamically.

The method to reconfigure memory varies among computer
makers.  Typically, one starts a setup program by pressing
some combination of keys during bootup.  If your hardware
manual is unclear, you may need help from whomever set up
your system originally.  Because XMS memory is a Windows
requirement involving other applications and hardware, we
cannot advise about memory configuration.  For advice about
Windows, Microsoft phone numbers are under "Support" near the
end of this document.

A disk cache such as SMARTDRV can improve speed, though it
may complicate system setup for mixed DOS and Windows
applications.


UNINSTALLING AND REINSTALLING

The installed files and approximate sizes on your hard disk
will be:
     readme.txt, 25K (this file)
     menuset.bat, 3K
     mmtype95.lnk, 1K
     tada.wav, 28K
     mmbw.ico, 2K
     mmtype.tbk, 200K
     tbkvideo.dll, 12K
     tbkbase.dll, 354K   (ToolBook)
     tbkcomp.dll, 105K   (ToolBook)
     tbkutil.dll, 60K    (ToolBook)
     tbook.exe, 400K     (ToolBook)
     tbknet.exe, 6K      (ToolBook)
Also, the status of each interrupted lesson x becomes a small
file named x.MM, automatically erased on lesson completion. 
A shareware MMTYPE*.zip or diskette contains extra files, not
installed, to aid shareware distribution.

If you have a separate ToolBook installation and are expert
at sharing files under Windows, you may keep "ToolBook" files
in a shared directory instead of the MasterMind Typing
directory.  File sharing varies with the versions of Windows
and is overly complex for explanation here.

Generally, there is no need to uninstall an old MasterMind
Typing before installing a replacement.  The new installation
overwrites the old.  If reinstallation leaves duplicate
icons, you may remove either.  Select a redundant icon with a
single mouse-click, then tap the DELete key.

If you wish to uninstall fully, delete the MasterMind Typing
directory, normally C:\MMTYPE.  If you uninstall MasterMind
Typing but wish to keep using ToolBook, consider the .TBK
extension.  Installation may have associated .TBK with the
ToolBook files in the MasterMind Typing directory if there
was no prior ToolBook installation.  In that case, to delete
C:\MMTYPE would disable ToolBook even if you now have a copy
in another directory.

To check the effect of .TBK under Win3.x or NT, choose
Main|FileManager|File|Associate, which produces a dialog box. 
In the space for "Files with Extension," enter
          tbk
Then tab to the space for "Associate With."  You may clear
the .TBK association by clicking "(None)" or may edit it to
read
          \<path>\tbook.exe
where <path> is the directory or path for the ToolBook files,
for example, TOOLBOOK.

To control file association under Win95 is trickier.  Experts
may run REGEDIT or use
Start|Programs|Explorer|View|Options|FileTypes.
Also please see the note below, "Troubleshooting - MMTyping
Fails to Launch under Win95's User Interface."


WIN3.X or NT - TIDYING AFTER INSTALLATION

At this writing, the current NT is version 3.51 with user
interface resembling Win3.x.  But Microsoft is changing NT to
resemble Win95, for release later in 1996.  Thereafter, NT
users should follow advice for the Win95 interface.

On the Windows desktop, installation leaves the MasterMind
Typing icon, overlapping M's, in a new window titled
"Temporary Group."  Please use your mouse to drag the icon to
the group window where you wish to keep it.  Before you start
the move, the destination window must be at least partly
visible.

Place the mouse pointer on the icon.  Then, while holding
down the left mouse button, move the mouse to drag the icon. 
When the icon is within the destination window, release the
button.

With a mouse click, please reactivate the Temporary Group
window, which now should be empty.  Remove the temporary
window with the DELete key.

You may start MasterMind Typing by double-clicking its icon.

This paragraph applies only if you did a MasterMind Typing
installation including ToolBook files that duplicate a Tool-
Book installation elsewhere in your system.  If you have
ToolBook elsewhere and Windows "associates" ToolBook
elsewhere with MasterMind Typing, please erase the duplicate
files from the MasterMind Typing directory (normally
\MMTYPE).  Do not erase TBKVIDEO.dll, which is not a ToolBook
file.  "Uninstalling and Reinstalling" above notes the
relevant ToolBook files.


INSTALLING WIN95 OVER A PRIOR INSTALLATION

This pertains to MasterMind Typing installed under Win3.x or
WinNT, if one afterward changes to Win95 or adds Win95's user
interface to NT.

Win95 applications normally launch from its Start|Programs
menu, which did not exist in prior Windows.  To place the
MMtype95 shortcut icon on your Start|Programs menu, execute
the MenuSet utility from the MasterMind Typing folder.

If your MasterMind Typing installation directory is not the
standard C:\MMTYPE, MenuSet will tell you how to edit the
startup information.  Besides being prerequisite to launching
from Start|Programs, this will enable launch from the
MasterMind Typing folder also.


KEYBOARD COMPATIBILITY

MasterMind Typing self-adapts to various symbol layouts if
Windows identifies the symbols with single-byte codes as
usual.  Keyboards served include U.S., Dvorak, European,
Arabic etc.  The Dvorak layout increases typing speed for
English about 30% by putting the more common keys in easier
reach.  If unsure whether MasterMind Typing will teach a
keyboard of interest, please try it.  The speed of learning
with MasterMind, unlike other tutors, makes it practical to
learn multiple keyboards.

U.S. keyboards have two keys in the upper corners bearing
symbols that are unimportant for writing in English.  The
equivalent keys can be alphabetic in Europe, where keyboards
place them differently.  Because the usual use of these keys
is for European languages, MasterMind Typing teaches the
European locations.  If your physical keyboard is U.S.-style
but you configure Windows for a language other than English,
MasterMind Typing can misdirect you to one or two places
where you have no key:  the lower-left corner or the right
end of the home row.  Then, the usable keys will be in an
upper corner instead.  With larger alphabets, the European
keyboard is better not merely for MasterMind Typing but also
because it makes the keys easier to reach.

Under Win3.x and NT, changing the keyboard via
Main|ControlPanel|International|KeyboardLayout also changes
the MasterMind Typing lessons to correspond.

Under Win95, the comparable procedure is Start|Settings
|ControlPanel|Keyboard|Language|Properties|KeyboardLayout. 
There are separate choices for keyboard language and keyboard
layout.  Presumably, one should make the two consistent. 
Win95 allows one to "Add" a keyboard from its original
installation disk if needed.  With a multi-keyboard setup,
the Win95 task bar has a button at the right end to change
keyboards quickly.

Keyboard change affects phase 1 lessons mainly.  Because
MasterMind Typing uses English for phases 2 and 3, those
lessons now only serve alphabets based on Latin.  We would
welcome inducement from local publishers to translate for
other languages.


TROUBLESHOOTING - FAULTY DISPLAY

For display, the most reliable mode is 640x480 VGA, 16
colors.  The Windows 3.x way to change the display is
Main|WindowsSetup|Options|ChangeSystemSettings|Display.  The
Win95 way is
Start|Settings|ControlPanel|Display|Settings|ChangeDisplay.


TROUBLESHOOTING - MMTYPING FAILS TO LAUNCH UNDER WIN95'S USER
     INTERFACE

If MasterMind Typing formerly worked but fails to start since
you changed to Win95, the fix is easy.  Please see
"Installing Win95 Over a Prior Installation" above. 
Otherwise, please read on here.

MasterMind Typing has a two-word startup command:
          tbook.exe  mmtype
TBOOK.exe is one of the ToolBook files, usually installed in
the MasterMind Typing folder.  MMTYPE is the file MMTYPE.tbk,
always in the MasterMind Typing folder.  If your installation
has all the files listed above under "Uninstalling and
Reinstalling," launch failure probably means that Windows
cannot find TBOOK.exe or MMTYPE.tbk.

A Win95 "folder" is what prior Windows called a "directory." 
One may navigate among folders using either My Computer or
Start|Programs|Explorer.  Please go to the MasterMind Typing
folder and RIGHTclick the "MMtype95" keyboard icon.  Then
choose Properties|Shortcut.

The "Target" field needs the startup command with <drive> and
<path> to TBOOK.exe in the form:
          <drive>:\<path>\tbook.exe  mmtype
Upper/lower case is immaterial.

The "Start in" field needs the location of the MasterMind
Typing folder (which contains MMTYPE.tbk) in the form:
          <drive>:\<path>

Unless you put ToolBook files into a folder shared by other
applications, <drive> and <path> for "Start in" should be the
same as for "Target."  For a standard installation, "Target"
is--
          c:\mmtype\tbook.exe  mmtype
and "Start in" is--
          c:\mmtype

After making your "Target" and "Start in" entries, OK the
changes and test startup using the "MMtype95" keyboard icon. 
If MasterMind Typing launches all right, execute the MenuSet
utility.  MenuSet copies the MMtype95 shortcut to the
Start|Programs menu for easier launch.


TROUBLESHOOTING - MMTYPING FAILS TO LAUNCH UNDER WIN3.X's
     USER INTERFACE

Please be sure that the files listed under "Uninstalling and
Reinstalling" are present in C:\MMTYPE or the equivalent
directory, except that the ToolBook files may be in a
separate directory.  If all files are present, there probably
is some inconsistency between your Windows setup and
MasterMind Typing's automated installation.

With Program Manager or an equivalent shell, please redo
MasterMind Typing setup manually as follows.  If your Windows
shell is not from Microsoft, you may need to translate these
directions.

If setup created a MasterMind Typing icon, please
single-click it; then choose File|Properties for adjustment. 
If setup failed even to create an icon, please choose
File|New|ProgramItem.  Either way, the following entries
should make MasterMind Typing work.

     Description:   Typing

     Command Line:  C:\<path>\tbook  mmtype.tbk

     Working Directory:  C:\mmtype

     Icon File Name:     C:\mmtype\mmbw.ico

If you have MasterMind Typing on a drive other than C, please
substitute the proper letter.  For the generic <path>, please
substitute the path to the ToolBook files, usually directory
MMTYPE, WINDOWS or TOOLBOOK.  Similarly, change the directory
\MMTYPE if you put MasterMind Typing elsewhere.  The icon
file name is accessible from the Program Item Properties
dialog box via "Change Icon."


TROUBLESHOOTING - PRINTING

If results are poor or none from a PRINT button within
MasterMind Typing, you may change setup to make your printer
emulate a model that MasterMind Typing recognizes.  So you
may reverse the change conveniently, it helps to leave
Windows Print Manager as a minimized icon on your desktop. 
Generally, the steps are:

1.  From your printer manual, ascertain the availability of
emulation.  Good choices to emulate are older printers that
have been very popular, such as IBM Proprinter, HP LaserJet
or Epson.

2.  The mechanism to choose emulation may be internal
jumpers, DIP switches, a front-panel menu or whatever, for
which one needs the printer documentation.  Power off your
printer while changing both the printer and the Windows
software that drives it.  Set the printer to an appropriate
emulation or, if available, auto-selection of emulation.

3.  In Windows, choose
Main|PrintManager|Options|PrinterSetup
or, for NT, Main|PrintManager|Printer|CreatePrinter
or, for Win95, Start|Settings|Printers.
Set Windows for what your printer emulates or a model of the
same group.  If the printer wanted is absent, follow Windows'
on-screen guidance in adding to the available printers from
its installation disk.  If the procedure requires a choice of
fonts, choose Courier.

4.  Set the chosen printer as Windows' default printer.

5.  Rather than exiting from the Print Manager, one may
minimize it by clicking the down arrow in the window's upper
right corner.

6.  Power on the printer, or cycle power off and on if you
never turned it off before.


OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MasterMind Typing will put appropriate instructions on-screen
as you use it.  If you wish, a mouse click on a PRINT button
will send the instructions of interest to your printer.

Please use your mouse to set up a lesson.  Within a lesson,
though, the mouse is inoperative and you use keys only.  To
revert from any current condition, one keys <ESCape>.

Before reading the instructions thoroughly, it helps to start
your first lesson and observe how MasterMind Typing works. 
This will make the instructions easier to understand.  But
please run a lesson no more than a few minutes before reading
the instructions, or you will develop bad habits.


SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION LICENSE

This applies to distribution of MasterMind Typing 1.x by both
professionals and amateurs.  (Version 2.x is not shareware
and not distributable.)  Peter Turnquist revocably authorizes
distribution of shareware version 1.x, in complete and
unaltered form, by any means.  Peter Turnquist further
authorizes renaming HELP.bat to a distributor's standard name
for the file that users run for installation advice.

Automated installation may require tailoring the file
configuration to the distribution mode.  Contact Peter
Turnquist to get MasterMind Typing configured (no charge) for
the distribution intended.  To modify a file set is a license
violation and probably would impair installation.

A catalog of shareware, electronic or otherwise, must
describe MasterMind Typing 1.x in terms approved by Peter
Turnquist.  Approved descriptions are in the latest revision
of VENDINFO.*, CATALOG.txt, FILE_ID.diz and MMTYPE*.sda
issued by Peter Turnquist,  Distributors are welcome to apply
to Peter Turnquist for approval of substitute descriptions.

Subject to the amendments expressed in this distribution
license, this license incorporates the "User License" above.

This distribution license incorporates the terms of
distribution of the VENDINFO data record if attached.  Any
distribution satisfying all the distribution requirements
expressed in that data record is hereby authorized.


UPGRADE; SUPPORT; ORDERS
