ABOUT TIPTAP
=============
TipTap is a multimedia educational system providing a unique
learning experience for students. It is a set of 3 separate
programs: TipTap, TipTap Data Editor, and TipTap Preferences.

Design Concept
==============
TipTap is a system designed to teach spelling, phonics, typing,
handwriting skills, and grammar. The student receives a combination
of auditory, visual and tactile reinforcement. This is known as a
multi-sensory approach to learning and is beneficial for all students,
regardless of individual learning style.

Through beautiful and colorful animations, illustrations, creative
sound-effects, systematic repetition, and reinforcement of correct
responses, students happily engage in an exciting learning
experience. Lessons can be printed allowing students to create
their own illustrated spelling books for practice, and serving as
a visible record of their accomplishments.

Exercises are designed to be brief; repetition is encouraged.

ADD YOUR OWN WORDS AND SENTENCES
================================
Teachers and parents may also add their own words and sentences
very easily using the included TipTap Data Editor program.
Therefore the program is useful well beyond it’s prepackaged
lesson base.

Positive Feedback Only
======================
This program does not generate auditory or visual interruptions
when incorrect input is entered. Rather than emphasizing incorrect
responses, the program waits for the proper key to be selected.

TipTap also provides the option of Letter Assistance: the ability to
accept a space bar in place of the proper key.

Dedicated to Education
=======================
High professional standards were maintained during the creation
of all the elements making up the interface: printed materials,
recorded sounds, animations, music and the lessons themselves.
Anchek Multimedia strongly believes in the importance of education.
Therefore we are offering this program at a substantially lower
price than the market place would usually dictate, thus making it
affordable to everyone.

We thank you for using TipTap,

About WinG from Microsoft Corporation
=====================================
The first time a WinG application runs in a new video mode or
after a new display driver has been installed, WinG performs
a performance test to determine the fastest way to display
graphics to your display.

You will only see this performance test once for a any given
video mode. On slower machines the test may last several minutes.
WinG is part of the new Chicago (Windows 95) version of Windows
graphical interface.

WinG version 1.0 provides the fastest graphics to screen capabilities
under Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, and
Windows NT version 3.5+. WinG will not run on Windows NT version 3.1
or on earlier versions of Windows.

WinG requires a 386 or better processor to run.
WinG will not run on a 286.
