About:    MasterMind Typing v1.06

Version 1.06 update deals with inconsistencies among
Microsoft's Windows operating systems:  3.x, 95 and NT.  HELP
and SETUP adapt to whichever they find.

Additional improvements:  support for Dvorak and exotic
keyboards, better user-interface, speed-building lessons for
intermediate and advanced typists (besides lessons for
beginners always served).

I revoke the distribution license for older versions.  My
form for distribution is MMTYPE06.zip.  Re-archiving to
MMTYPE06.* is OK; so is de-archiving for distribution by
diskette.  MMTyping now exceeds 720K, that is, needs a 
high-density floppy.

It is vital to include the full set of unaltered files in any
distribution.  If you suspect tampering or an out-of-date
version, please contact me directly and give your e-mail
address.  I'll send you a current, clean MMTYPE*.zip.  Unless
we have a common mail service that handles binary files, you
will need to UUdecode.

Please never tamper with automated installation or impose any
method that you use for other products.  Even to add advice
about installation would be unhelpful or misleading.  Please
rename HELP.bat to conform with your diskette label, if
applicable, but change nothing else.  If you prefer to write
your <usual>.bat so it directs the user to my HELP.bat for
installation advice, that should be all right too.

Besides what you are reading, files of special interest to
shareware professionals are:
CATALOG.txt, product description, proven effective for your
     catalog entry.
FILE_ID.diz, like CATALOG.txt but in BBS format.
VENDINFO.* fuller support for automated distribution,
     including descriptions of several lengths as
     alternatives to CATALOG.txt.
GRAPHICS.zip includes screen captures in both color and
     black-&-white to illustrate your catalog.
REGISTER.txt, the registration form.

The VENDINFO.* files offer distributors more support than
FILE_ID.diz does.  For the Vendinfo utilities if you lack
them now, please contact:
