  Install
  -------
  Installing the software is easy, just execute the file:

  Valsetup.exe (in Windows 3.x/95/98/2000/NT+)

  You will be able to  install the software in the default
  directory:

  C:\Valgetal   or in the directory you choose.

  Also you will be able to install it in your Windows 
  Start\Programs Menu.

  Youll install Valgetal 3.21 and Valgebra 1.1.
  Take care to install them in a directory with a name with
  less then 8 letters/symbols! Otherwise Valgebra will not work!


  Uninstall
  ---------
  You uninstall the software by just deleting its files
  from your harddisk and taking it out from your Programs
  Start Menu. Valgetal does not change anything in the
  configuration of your computer.



  About Valgetal and Valgebra
  ---------------------------

  "Val" means in Dutch fall and "getal" means number, and 
  indeed you play in Valgetal with falling numbers. Its
  a challenging and educational game in which you have to 
  make rapid calculations with falling numbers.

  Valgebra is a mathematical game in which you play with
  falling "x-components" and numbers and resolve in this 
  way a first grade equation. Quite a different way to
  work with algebra!

  We hope that our software will awaken the interest of 
  many children for mathematics. We think that Valgetal
  and Valgebra demonstrates that maths is not only
  beautiful, but can also be lots of fun!

  Valgetal 3.2, Valdgtal and Valgebra are distributed as 
  friendly shareware. This means that you may copy the 
  shareware (trial) versions of this software and give
  it to others. For details see the "License Agreement
  for the Shareware Version" below.
   
  The shareware (trial) versions of the programs are 
  playable, but limited. 

  In Valgetal 3.2 you can start in the first four levels,
  in each of the four math disciplines. In Valgetal 2.4 
  you can start in all the levels, but not write your name
  into the High Scores.

  If you like Valgetal and you want to be able to play
  all the levels, you could purchage the password.

  By introducing the password into the program you can
  transform it into the fully working original version.
  You can start then in 20 different levels, in adding,
  subtracting, multiplying and dividing, and you will 
  have an infinite number of levels to proceed. 

  The price of the password is: 12 US Dollar or
  the equivalent in your own currency (14 Euro).

  If you purchase the password voor Valgetal 3.2, you will
  also receive the passwords for Valgetal 2.4 and Valgebra.

  After introducing the password you may use the software
  at one address: you are granted a site license for the 
  original software.

  It is also possible to order the original and fully working
  software without having to introduce any password. In 
  our website you can read more about it.
   
  We do not give guarantee. But if any problem should arise,
  please contact us and we shall try to solve it.

  By installing and using this program, you are assumed to
  agree with the terms stated in the Licence-agreements and 
  in "Disclaimer": submenu of Valgetal 3.2.
  
  Valgetal 3.2 has been designed especially for Windows 
  95/98/2000/NT+, although it can normally also be used in
  Windows 3.x .
 
  Valgetal 3.2 can be used in Pc computers, with all kind of 
  screen configurations (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 or higher)
  and color  settings (256 colors, high density 16 bits and
  true color 24 bit). It works already in  386 dx computers
  with windows 3.x, and perhaps in even "lower" platforms. 
  Just try out the program. If it doesnt work, you can use 
  the Msdos version Valgetal 2.4. Also if it take a lot of time 
  to start the program, perhaps its better to use the Msdos 
  version.

  According to the author, Valgetal 3.2 has its most beautiful 
  appearance if you choose "sophisticated colour" in the 
  main menu and let it occupy the whole screen.

  However, if you see in Valgetal 3.2 any graphical errors, 
  choose "simple color" in the main-menu. If you still see 
  graphical errors, check the fontsize of Windows: it must be
  small (normal size 96 ppp). In case, go to: start-> 
  configuration-> control panel-> screen configuration-> 
  font size . The default size is small. 

  Valgetal 2.4 is aproximately the same game as Valgetal 3.2:
  the High Score results obtained with both programs are
  comparable.  Only its lay-out is less sophisticated. 

  The "game-speed" of all versions of Valgetal is aproximately
  the same on every computer. In this way the results obtained
  with different computers are comparable. In our website we have
  organized a world championship of Valgetal.

  Valgetal 2.4 and Valgebra are Msdos based programs and can be
  used in almost every Pc with Msdos or Windows.
  This is quite an advantage if you want to use these programs 
  in a school, were often Msdos based computers are still in use.

  If you install the Msdos based programs Valgetal 2.4 and Valgebra
  in Windows 95/98, take care to install them in a directory 
  with a name less then 8 symbols! Otherwhise they will not
  work (error 003).

  By executing Valsetup.exe youll install the following files:

  Valgetal.exe : the executable file of Valgetal 3.2;
  Valgetal.dat : data file of Valgetal 3.2;
  Valgetal.mid : music file of Valgetal 3.2;
  Valgetal.txt : this text file;
  Valclean.exe : to clean the High Score list of Valgetal 3.2;
  Valgetal.htm : with the internet address of Valgetal;

  Valgebra.exe : the executable file of Valgebra 1.1;
  Valgebra.dat : data file of Valgebra 1.1;
  Valgtaal.dat : data file of Valgebra 1.1;
  Vals.dat     : data file of Valgebra 1.1;
  Valgcln.exe  : to clean the High Score lists of Valgebra 1.1.


  You can install them in the default directory c:\Valgetal, or in 
  the directory you choose. Also you will install Valgetal.exe
  Valgebra.exe, Valgetal.htm and Valgetal.txt in your Windows
  Start\Programs menu under the name "Valgetal", or the 
  name you choose. Take care to install them in a directory
  with a name less then 8 letters/symbols!  Otherwise Valgebra
  will not work! (error 003 in Windows)

  Valsetup.exe will not change anything in the configuration 
  of your computer.
 
  After unzipping vlget320.zip you'll also find:

  Valdgtal.zip : the compressed file of Valgetal 2.4 (Msdos based);
  Valgebra.zip : the compressed file of Valgebra (Msdos based);

  You can copy Valdgtal.zip and Valgebra.zip to the computer
  and directory where you want to use it and "unzip" it with,
  for example, the  programs Pkunzip.exe or Winzip.exe . These
  programs you can download in Internet in respectively: 
  www.pkware.com and www.winzip.com 
  
  After unzipping Valdgtal.zip you get:

  Valdgtal.exe : the executable file of Valgetal 2.4 (Valdgtal);
  Valpfile.dat : data file of Valgetal 2.4;
  Valmfile.dat : data file of Valgetal 2.4;
  Vals.dat     : data file of Valgetal 2.4;
  Valkfile.dat : data file of Valgetal 2.4;
  Valdfile.dat : data file of Valgetal 2.4;
  Valtaal.dat  : data file of Valgetal 2.4;
  Valdcln.exe  : to clean the High Score lists of Valgetal 2.4.
  
  After unzipping Valgebra you get:

  Valgebra.exe : the executable file of Valgebra 1.1;
  Valgebra.dat : data file of Valgebra 1.1;
  Valgtaal.dat : data file of Valgebra 1.1;
  Vals.dat     : data file of Valgebra 1.1;
  Valgcln.exe  : to clean the High Score lists of Valgebra 1.1.

  We hope you will enjoy Valgetal and Valgebra.

  to him. This install-program has not a uninstall, but
  it's great advantage is, that it works also in 
  Windows 3.x. That some shareware sites will give

  Valgetal has been adapted to work with even more 
  screen configurations: (besides with standard fonts,
  it works now also rather good with large fonts.
