     +==============================================================+
    
    SPECIAL NOTE: SPELLING TUTOR NOT DATE-LIMITED.  NO "TIME WORMS"!
         This is the second release of version 2.10 as some persons 
    mistook the phrase "time-worn device" (used as a joke in the 
    previous versions of the Spelling Tutor) as "time-worm device" and 
    thought that the Spelling Tutor would perform damage if used 
    beyond the evaluation period.  The text has now been removed.  The 
    shareware version of the Spelling Tutor will and ALWAYS HAS  
    continued to work after the license period has expired while 
    reminding you to please register. 

     NEW IN VERSION 2.10!!!

                               FILE MANAGER
     The ability of Teacher to Delete files has been added to the
     File Manager.

                            LONGER WORD LENGTHS!
          Word lengths of up to 36 characters are now allowed which
     will enable tutoring on multiple word constructions such as those
     found in legal vocabularies.  When the word length is set to
     greater than 15, however, the use of the "Smileys" are disabled 
     as their movement would interfere with the display of long words.  
     In addition, word search puzzle creation is disabled as well, 
     when the maximum word length exceeds 15 characters, longer 
     lengths could exceed puzzle dimensions.
     
                  SHUFFLE THE ORDER OF WORDS WITHIN A SET!
          You can now shuffle the order of the words within a given
     set while the sets are displayed in the Spelling Tutor.  This
     allows you to refresh the order in which the words are presented
     in cases where a set is used for tutoring multiple times.

     A SPECIAL GIFT FOR OUR REGISTERED USERS -- WORD SEARCH PUZZLES!!!
          To express our deep gratitude to those of you who have taken
     the time to register your copy of The Spelling Tutor, we wanted
     to give you something special that would in some measure, show
     our appreciation.  For that reason, a wonderful new feature has
     been added to the Registered version of the Spelling Tutor.  Now,
     each time you complete a word set, you can create and send to
     your printer a Word Search Puzzle consisting of each word from
     that set.  This is a splendid way to reinforce the memory image
     of the word gained through working in the Tutor!  In order to
     search for a word pattern in a grid of random letters, one must
     of necessity concentrate on the image of the word!  Not only does
     it encourage the student to retain the image of the word, it does
     so in an entertaining and challenging way!
          If you register under Option 3, you will receive our new
     stand alone program, "The SPELLBOUND! Word Search Creator".  (See
     SPELL.DOC for details.)  This is in addition to the other
     premiums, The SPELLBOUND! Director, The BothSides Text Formatter,
     latest version of the Spelling Tutor, and the additional word
     lists.  If you are only interested in ordering the Word Search
     Creator, it is available from SPELLBOUND! Software for the low
     price of just $15.00!



           AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION FOR PREVIOUS REGISTERED USERS!
          The INSTALL program will transfer your registration from
     your old version in the 2.xx series to the new copy when you
     install the new version over the old one.  Do not delete your old
     installation as this will destroy your old registration.
          Be sure you have a backup of your registered version in case
     something should go wrong.  The INSTALL program will make the
     transfer and delete all program files from the previous version.
     If you have modified your copies of SPELL.WDS, GRADE2.WDS, or
     GRADE3.WDS, be sure to make backups as the INSTALL program will
     overwrite these with the new versions.
          Your records, reports, default configuration etc. will all
     be preserved for use by the new version!
          We want you to possess a registered copy of the new Spelling
     Tutor without having to pay an additional upgrade fee!  We REALLY 
     appreciate your support!

     with a CGA simulation program), two floppy disk drives OR one of
     the following single drive systems: Hard drive, 720k floppy,
     1.2meg floppy, 1.44meg floppy.

     PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION
          To print out the documention for "The SPELLBOUND! Spelling
     Tutor", install the program according to the directions given in
     this documentation.  Once you have started the program, press F1
     to bring up context-sensitive help.  Press F1 once again to bring
     up the documentation in the file viewer.  Press F9 to print the
     file being displayed, in this case, SPELL.DOC.  Enter your
     parallel printer port number when prompted.   Make sure you have
     about 45 sheets of paper.
          To print this file now, enter the following command from the
     DOS prompt:  COPY README.1ST PRN <Press ENTER>

     Press F9 to print it.

     PREPARING THE INSTALL DISKETTE FOR INSTALLATION TO FLOPPY DISKS
          The INSTALL program requires the availability of
     "COMMAND.COM" (your command interpreter).  If you do not have a
     hard drive or you boot your computer from drive A:, you will need
     to copy "COMMAND.COM" from your DOS "System" disk to the Spelling
     Tutor installation diskette before proceeding with the
     installation.
          If installing to floppies, COMMAND.COM will be automatically
     copied to your PROGRAM diskette by the INSTALL program as well,
     so that the transient portion of COMMAND.COM can be refreshed
     when terminating the Spelling Tutor.  This prevents the message,
     "Insert disk with COMMAND.COM into drive A: and press any key".
     This will enable you to make use of an external editor in
     addition to allowing you to SHELL to Dos from within the program.
          If in rare circumstances you are not using COMMAND.COM,
     substitute the command interpreter for the operating system you
     are using.  If you are unsure, type: "SET" at the Dos prompt and
     press ENTER.  Look for the words: "COMSPEC=".  The file name to
     the right of the equal sign is the name and path to your command
     interpreter.

      +============================================================+
      | I N S T A L L A T I O N  --   2   F L O P P Y  S Y S T E M |
      +============================================================+

     (1.) Format two blank floppy diskettes in the following manner:
          Place your DOS diskette containing FORMAT.COM into drive A:
          and a blank diskette into drive B:. Type "A:FORMAT B:" press
          ENTER.  This will be your PROGRAM diskette.  When it is
          finished, format another diskette in the same way.  This
          will be your DATA diskette.

     (2.) Place the SPELLBOUND! diskette into drive A: and with the
          blank formatted PROGRAM diskette still in drive B:, do the
          following.  Type: "A:INSTALL" press ENTER, read all of the
          instructions and follow the prompts.  Both destination
          diskettes will be inserted into drive B: at the proper time.

     (3.) If everything went okay, your program is now ready to run!
          Place the PROGRAM diskette into drive A:, the DATA diskette
          (containing SPELL.WDS, SPELL.DOC, etc. into drive B:, type:
          "B:" (this will change you to drive B:) and then type:
          "SPELL" and press ENTER.

     +===============================================================+
     | I N S T A L L A T I O N  --   H A R D   O R   H D   D R I V E |
     +===============================================================+

     (1.) Place the distribution diskette into drive A: and do the
          following:
       a: Type: "A:INSTALL" (without quotes) press ENTER.
       b: Read all of the instructions, and follow the prompts.  The
          INSTALL program can make some very necessary changes to
          AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS for you, or you can make them
          yourself if you are leery of having installation programs
          mess with your system.  If you choose to have the program do
          it for you, the original copies of your programs will be
          backed up first, so the changes are reversible.  If you have
          the program make these changes for you, then skip step (2.).

     (2.) Add the  program directory to your PATH environment variable
          in AUTOEXEC.BAT or at the DOS prompt.  If you already have a
          PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT, then append a semicolon
          before appending the directory. Example: PATH
          C:\DOS;C:\UTIL;C:\WP;C:\SPELL If there is no PATH statement
          in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, then you must enter the
          following: (Assuming the PROGRAM files were installed in
          "C:\SPELL") PATH C:\SPELL The PATH environment variable
          tells DOS where to search for commands it cannot find in the
          current directory.  When you type "SPELL" from the DATA
          directory, DOS will not be able to find SPELL.EXE in the
          current directory.  It will look through the directories
          listed in the PATH statement.

          IMPORTANT!  If you have a hard drive system with a single
          High density drive, you will first have to install to a
          single directory on your hard drive, and then copy all the
          files from that directory to the diskette.

                 +=====================================+
                 | Y O U R   F I R S T   S E S S I O N |
                 +=====================================+

          To start The Spelling Tutor, make the DATA directory your
     current directory. For example, if the DATA directory were
     C:\SPELL\CLASSONE, you would type: "C:" press ENTER and then "CD
     \SPELL\CLASSONE" press ENTER.  When you have done this, type:
     "SPELL" press ENTER, and the program will begin.
          In your first session you will be presented with a couple of
     questions.  The first is whether students will have access to
     functions which allow access to files or to the operating system.
     The other is whether you would like password protection so that
     students may only view their own records.  Once installation is
     finished, the only person who will be able to change these
     settings is the person who logs on as "TEACHER". TEACHER must
     always enter a password to gain entrance.  If a student were
     allowed to log in as teacher, he would be able to view other
     students' passwords, print out reports of their progress
     etcetera, so you may not disable password protection for the
     TEACHER.  To change these initial settings at any time:

     (1.) Log in as TEACHER, and enter your password.
     (2.) Press ESC while at the MAIN MENU
     (3.) Key in "DEFAULT", then enter your "TEACHER" password again.
     (4.) While logged in as "DEFAULT", set up the configuration as
          you wish each new student to be configured the first time
          on.  You may even run the Spelling Tutor and change the
          colors there.  (Just press F1 in Spelling Tutor to see how
          to do this.)
     (5.) When the configuration is complete, either press F10 to quit
          or return to the Login screen and log in under your own name
          or "Teacher".

          The configuration you create as default is saved to
     DEFAULT.CFG in the PROGRAM directory.  This will be the initial
     configuration each student will receive the first time he logs
     in.  If you have many classes (each class in its own directory),
     this configuration will affect all classes.
