 6/29/94  		Math in a Flash version 2.0
		Educational Software for the Windows Environment

Introduction:  Math in a Flash is a fun, easy way for an elementary
 	school student or pre-schooler to learn the basic mathematical
 	skills.  The big difference between this program and the flash
	cards bought at your local store is that the student can
 	practice math without your help.

Features:	. multiple choice or fill in the blank answers
		. button bar on main window for easy configuration
		. online help
		. four predefined skill levels
		. two types of timed testing
		. printed score sheet
		. customizable settings
		. automatic save of customized settings
		. animation
		. sound (sound board NOT required)
		. multiple students (up to 100)

Requirements:  You must have an IBM-PC or compatible capable of
 	running Microsoft Windows 3.1.  Since Math in a Flash was
 	written in Visual Basic Version 3, the Visual Basic runtime
 	module, VBRUN300.DLL, is also required.  The VBRUN300.DLL may
	downloaded from Compuserve, the Microsoft Download Service,
	or from many local bulletin boards.  Instructions are as
	follows:

	- Compuserve
		GO MSL
		Search for VBRUN300.EXE  (self-extracting)
		Display results and download

	- Microsoft Download Service (MSDL)
		Dial (206) 936-6735 to connect to MSDL
		Download VBRUN300.EXE   (self-extracting)

Packing List:	MIAF.EXE     - the executable file
		MIAF.HLP     - the online help file
		README.TXT   - this file
		RSND1.WAV    - sound file
		RSND2.WAV    - sound file
		RSND3.WAV    - sound file
		RSND4.WAV    - sound file
		RSND5.WAV    - sound file
		WSND1.WAV    - sound file
		WSND2.WAV    - sound file
		WSND3.WAV    - sound file
		WSND4.WAV    - sound file
		WSND5.WAV    - sound file
		THANKYOU.WAV - sound file
		TEGOSND.DLL  - sound driver file

Installation procedures:

	1. Create a new directory and name it c:\MIAF (or something
 	   else appropriate).  This can be done either at the DOS
 	   prompt or thru the Windows File Manager (see the
 	   appropriate user's manual for specific instructions of the
 	   commands).
	2. Copy the files MIAF.EXE, MIAF.HLP, RSND1.WAV through
 	   RSND5.WAV, WSND1.WAV through WSND5.WAV, THANKYOU.WAV, and
	   README.TXT to that directory.  Copy the file TEGOSND.DLL
	   to the Windows directory (usually c:\windows).  Note that
	   the TEGOSND.DLL file is only required if you have neither
	   a sound card nor a PC speaker driver.  This can be done
	   either at the DOS prompt or thru the Windows File Manager
	   (see the appropriate user's manual for specific instructions
	   of the commands).
	3. From the Program Manager of Windows, select the FILE, NEW
 	   menu options.
	4. Select Program Group and click the OK button.
	5. For Description, enter Math in a Flash and click the OK
 	   button.
	6. From the Program Manager of Windows, select the FILE, NEW
 	   menu options.
	7. Select Program Item and click the OK button.
	8. For Description, enter Math in a Flash.
	9. For Command Line, enter the name of the directory that you
 	   created in step 1 followed by \MIAF.EXE and click the OK
 	   button (e.g. c:\MIAF\MIAF.EXE)
	10. Ensure that you have a copy of VBRUN300.DLL in your
 	   Windows path (Microsoft advises putting it in your System
 	   subdirectory of the Windows directory)
