About the Author:
	This is my first attempt at creating a program for the PC to be
	distributed to the general public.  But I am not exactly a novice
	to computers.  I am an 18 year mainframe computer programmer.  
	My wife wanted me to learn Visual Basic so that I could write
	some applications for her fifth grade classroom's PC.  She
	teaches at Penn Christian Academy in Noristown, PA.  If you have
	any comments, corrections, bug notifications (heaven forbid),
	or ideas for other useful educational programs,	please just let
	me know.  My address is listed in Bible Baseball's ABOUT box.

Development Environment:
	This program was written in Visual Basic V3.0 Standard Edition
	on my home PC which is a 486SX-25 with 4 meg RAM.  I'm running
	Windows 3.1 on top of MS-DOS 6.2 using the standard Microsoft
	memory manager(HIMEM/EMM386), disk cache (Smartdrv), and speaker
	driver (speaker.drv). It was also tested on a 486-33, a 386-33, 
	and a 386SX-16.  Some of the machines running 640x480 and some
	at 800x600.  It ran successfully on all of the machines
	(it was a little slow on the 386SX).

Future Enhancements:
	- Saving and Restarting
	- Maintaining high scores
	- Manipulating team colors (my son wants this)
	- Possibly, some more animation
	- Option for maximum runs per inning
	- Selecting questions by category (Old Test., New Test., etc.)
	- ???? If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

Questions:
	- This game contains 4 classifications of questions.  They are
	  SINGLE, DOUBLE, TRIPLE, and HOME RUN.
	- The SINGLE questions are the easiest and the HOME RUN
	  questions are the hardest.
	- This version of WinBB contains 100 questions
	  (40 SINGLE, 20 DOUBLE, 20 TRIPLE, and 20 HOME RUN).
	- Questions are taken from several different transalations.
	- More questions are available for a small fee.
	- Instructions for entering your own questions are also available.
