                             General Description
     ------------------------------------------------------------------

     CourseMaster is a powerful authoring system and development tool 
     for creating computer-based training, simulations, prototypes and 
     interactive video programs. It is neither a menu-driven system nor 
     a programming language, but a system of pre-programmed templates 
     and utilities that enable an instructional designer or author with 
     no programming skills to create sophisticated interactive training 
     courses and simulations.

     With CourseMaster, an author writes each screen in the lesson using 
     any word processor capable of creating an ASCII file. The program 
     is then compiled. PCX graphics can be displayed and external calls 
     enable the trainee to run another program from within the lesson. 
     Sophisticated contingency branching, answer-judging, multiple paths,
     scoring, network support and extensive documentation provide a 
     feature-rich system for the experienced instructional designer.

       Users of CourseMaster must accept this disclaimer of warranty: 
       CourseMaster is supplied as is. The author disclaims all 
       warranties, expressed or implied, including without limitation, 
       the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. 
       The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequen-

                             OTHER INFORMATION
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------

   CourseMaster is a shareware program and is provided at no charge to 
   the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, 
   but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. 
   The essence of user-supported software is to provide personal       
   computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to 
   provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. 
   If you find this program useful and find that you are using Course-
   Master and continue to use CourseMaster after a reasonable trial 
   period, you are honor-bound make the registration payment indicated 
   on the attached registration form. The registration fee will license 
   one copy for use on any one computer at any one time.                         
                                                          
   You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this 
   software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved 
   from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibil-
   ity of it being used at one location while it's being used at another.    
   Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.                                         
                                                                
   Commercial users of CourseMaster must register and pay for their copies 
   of CourseMaster within 30 days of first use or their license is with-
   drawn. Site-license arrangements may be made by contacting InterDigital.             

   Anyone distributing CourseMaster for any kind of remuneration must first 
   contact InterDigital at the address above for authorization. This author-
   ization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the 
   ASP as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such 
   distributors may begin offering Coursemaster immediately. (However, 
   InterDigital must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept      
   up-to-date with the latest version of CourseMaster.)
