			The Kidgame Readme File

The Kidgame is a learning game for children ages 2-12.  There is shape and
color recognition as well as math.  Even adults can use this program to
drill themselves on their math facts as high up as they want to go.
The program has a simple interface that is very easy for young children
to use.

The Kidgame contains many sound effects that help enhance the learning environment.
To use the sound effects, you must either have a sound card installed in your
system, or have the speak.exe driver installed to use your system's regular
speaker.  Speak.exe is a freely distributed product from Microsoft, and is
available on most online services and bulletin board systems.

The Kidgame is shareware, and is fully functional.  You may evaluate this
program for a period of 21 days after which you must register it or remove it
from your system.  To not comply with this condition is a violation of United
States and international copyright law.
