INTRODUCTION

It helps to print README.TXT (about thirteen pages), making
the instructions visible while you install MasterMind Typing. 
If DOS has control, you may tap PrintScreen now to record
just the directions for printing.

We recommend printing via Notepad of the Windows Accessories,
because it will paginate.  In Notepad, choose File|Open and
specify this file as, for example,
     A:\README.TXT
     or
     C:\MMTYPE\README.TXT
If neither A: nor C:\MMTYPE is the location of README.TXT,
substitute whatever <drive>:\<path> you have provided.

With this text on-screen in Notepad, the menu choices are
File|Print.  When you exit from Notepad or any editor, please
do NOT save changes.

If you want to print from DOS, a convenient command is, for
example,
     COPY  A:\README.TXT  PRN
     or
     COPY  C:\MMTYPE\README.TXT  PRN
Again, if neither A: nor C:\MMTYPE is the location of
README.TXT, substitute whatever <drive>:\<path> applies.

Please protect your source file(s) before proceeding.  If you
acquired MasterMind Typing on floppy diskettes, write-protect
them.  If you acquired MasterMind Typing by modem, copy the
original archive(s) to a floppy (and write-protect it) or
copy to your usual backup medium.  To protect backup floppies
from magnetic fields, they should be in steel containers, not
plastic or aluminum.  A steel desk drawer or file cabinet is
fine.

MasterMind Typing cuts work to about a quarter of any
alternative for learning to touch-type.  The magic is
MasterMind's sensitive way of adjusting repetition for your
progress.  It reads your mind.  In the advanced phase of
version 2.x, MasterMind enables you to dazzle friends with
eloquent recitations, while you perfect your typing or for
pleasure.

Prerequisite resources are:
          Windows 3.x in standard or enhanced mode
          80286 or better processor
          2 Mbytes RAM for Win3.1 or 1.5MB for Win3.0
          extended (XMS) memory manager such as HIMEM.SYS
          1.2 Mbytes free on the hard disk
          EGA or better display, color preferred
          mouse (or equivalent, e.g., trackball)

You can check your Windows mode from Program Manager by
choosing Help|AboutProgramManager.  Standard or enhanced mode
is all right for MasterMind Typing, but enhanced mode needs 2
Mbytes RAM.  Real mode is incompatible.  Help|
AboutProgramManager also will show Free Memory (RAM).  With
just Windows loaded (before you start MasterMind Typing),
Free Memory should be at least 600 Kbytes.  For quickness,
Windows 3.1 users should install at least 4 Mbytes total RAM.

The distribution diskette(s) of MasterMind Typing may be any
of:
     720K (3.5-inch)
     1.44M (3.5-inch)
     1.2M (5.25-inch)
     two 360K (5.25-inch)
If you got a diskette that your system cannot read, please
contact the supplier.

MasterMind Typing takes several forms in distribution as
shareware.  It also calls on ToolBook, which users may or may
not have installed previously.  Installation instructions
cover the various cases.  Please find the instructions for
your case and ignore the rest.


LICENSE TERMS; MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE

By your authorized use of MasterMind Typing, you accept a
license for a single user on the following terms.  If you
have an unauthorized copy, you have no license and must
destroy the copy promptly to limit your liability for dealing
with contraband.

Version 1.x is the shareware program distributed for free
trial to those who agree to register if the product is
helpful.  For such trial, you have a revocable license to
copy and distribute version 1.x in the manner described
below.  After trying version 1.x sufficiently to see whether
it helps you, you must either register or stop using it.

If you register and pay the fee, you get version 2.x
including additional features.  (Site licenses are available
to organizations.)  Version 2.x comes with a 60-day guarantee
of satisfaction.  Version 2.x is not shareware.  Except for
backup, copying version 2.x would make you liable for
infringement of contract, patent and copy rights.

You do not own either version of the software, which embodies
novel designs and trade secrets.  You must not decode, alter
or reverse-engineer the software or aid another to do so. 
Any copy must be complete, including all legal notices.  Any
effort to imitate the software would breach the license and,
besides, probably would violate the copyright and/or the
patent.

This applies to distribution of version 1.x shareware by both
professionals and amateurs.  Version 1.x shareware
distribution must be either free of charge or within the
rules of the Association of Shareware Professionals. 
Automated installation requires tailoring the file
configuration to accommodate the distribution vehicle
(diskette or modem) and often more.  Contact Peter Turnquist
to get MasterMind Typing configured (no charge) for the
distribution intended.  To remake an archive or file set is
forbidden, because it probably would impair installation. 
Version 2.x is not distributable.

A catalog of shareware, electronic or otherwise, must
describe version 1.x in terms approved by Peter Turnquist. 
The latest revision of CATALOG.TXT or FILE_ID.DIZ or
MMTYPE*.SDA, issued by Peter Turnquist, is an approved
description.

Subject to regular procedure, the licensor will accept the
return of unsatisfactory software within sixty days and will
refund the license fee.  The licensor has no other liability. 
There is NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS for use
and no liability for consequential damages.

Breach of any of its provisions automatically cancels the
license.  Any dispute between parties is subject to binding
arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration
Association.  The chosen law is that of the state of
Delaware.  In case of court action to enforce this agreement
or an arbitration award hereunder, the prevailing party shall
recover from the other all costs including reasonable
attorneys' fees.  If you object to any license provision,
your sole recourse is to return the unused product
immediately for refund.

MEMORY CONFIGURATION, XMS REQUIRED

The Microsoft Windows User's Guide discusses memory
configuration in chapter 13 for version 3.0 or chapter 14 for
version 3.1.  The version 3.0 Guide does not explain, though,
that about 384K of your total memory, the portion between
640K and 1 megabyte, is inaccessible to most programs.  The
system design reserves it for hardware support.

For Windows applications, most or all of your configurable
memory--that is, above 1 megabyte--must be extended (XMS),
not expanded (EMS).  XMS is a more efficient way to organize
memory.  If you have an EMS configuration to help older DOS
applications, now is the time to update.  MasterMind Typing
should have at least 500K of XMS memory to run under Windows
standard mode, that is, at least 1.5 Mbytes total memory.  To
use enhanced mode with a '386 or better processor, you need
at least a megabyte of XMS memory, that is, at least 2 Mbytes
total.  Without XMS memory, MasterMind Typing will not run at
all.

If you make all the configurable memory XMS, you need to
adjust older applications if they have setup parameters that
rely on EMS.  An older application may slow because only the
conventional 640K RAM will be accessible.  But the publisher
now may have an upgrade version that works with XMS memory
and may be a Windows application too.  If you have enough
memory, it may be possible to configure it as partly EMS and
partly XMS to suit all applications.  With '386 and better
processors, MS-DOS 6.x can reallocate memory between EMS and
XMS dynamically.

The method to reconfigure memory varies among computer
makers.  Typically, one starts a setup program by pressing
some combination of keys during bootup.  If your hardware
manual is unclear, you may need help from whomever set up
your system originally.  Because XMS memory is a Windows
requirement involving other applications and hardware, we
cannot advise about memory configuration.  For advice about
Windows, Microsoft phone numbers are under "Support" near the
end of this document.

A disk cache such as SMARTDRV can improve speed, though it
may complicate system setup for mixed DOS and Windows
applications.


UNINSTALLING AND REINSTALLING

The installed files and approximate sizes on your hard disk
will be as below.  Files marked "ToolBook" should be in your
MasterMind Typing directory if you otherwise lack ToolBook. 
If you have a separate ToolBook installation, "ToolBook"
files should be there and not in the MasterMind Typing
directory.
     README.TXT, 27K (this file)
     MMBW.ICO, 2K
     MMTYPE.TBK, 140K or 200K
     TBKVIDEO.DLL, 21K
     TBKBASE.DLL, 354K   (ToolBook)
     TBKCOMP.DLL, 105K   (ToolBook)
     TBKUTIL.DLL, 60K    (ToolBook)
     TBOOK.EXE, 400K     (ToolBook)
     TBKNET.EXE, 6K      (ToolBook)
Also, the status of interrupted lessons becomes small files
of the form x.MM, automatically erased on lesson completion.

Usually, you need not uninstall an old MasterMind Typing
before installing a replacement.  Please remove the old
MasterMind Typing icon from your Windows desktop beforehand,
though; or reinstallation will leave duplicate icons and
doubt about which to remove.  Select the old icon with a
single mouse-click, then tap the DELete key.

If you wish to uninstall fully, also use File Manager to
delete the MasterMind Typing directory, normally C:\MMTYPE,
and its contents.  If you uninstall MasterMind Typing but
wish to keep using ToolBook, consider the .TBK extension. 
SETUP associated .TBK with the ToolBook files in the
MasterMind Typing directory if there was no prior ToolBook
installation.  In that case, to delete C:\MMTYPE would
disable ToolBook even if you now have a copy in another
directory.

To check the effect of .TBK, activate File Manager and choose
File|Associate, which produces a dialog box.  In the space
for "Files with Extension," enter
          tbk
Then tab to the space for "Associate With."  You may clear
the .TBK association by clicking "(None)" or may edit it to
read
          \<path>\tbook.exe
where <path> is the directory or path for the ToolBook files,
for example, TOOLBOOK.

If reinstalling, SETUP will overwrite the prior MasterMind
Typing files.  Version 2.x will overwrite version 1.x.  A
very early MasterMind Typing (before November '92) has a file
MMTBOOK.EXE.  Reinstallation does not overwrite MMTBOOK.EXE,
because the name of the replacement file is TBOOK.EXE. 
Please check your MasterMind Typing directory and delete
MMTBOOK.EXE if it is there, or it will waste space on your
disk.

Beware, shareware copies can circulate for years after they
are obsolete.  While normally there is no need to uninstall
before reinstalling, uninstalling will quash anomalies
including MMTBOOK.EXE.


INSTALLATION FROM REMOVABLE DISKETTE

This does not apply if you copied MasterMind Typing to your
hard disk by modem from an electronic information service or
BBS.

Put the diskette (or #1 if you have two) in a floppy drive. 
MasterMind Typing on the removable diskette cannot execute
because of its compressed format.  For the same reason, you
cannot install MasterMind Typing with COPY or XCOPY commands. 
Nor can you run SETUP from DOS.  Please start Windows and
choose File|Run from the menus so you can type a command in
the form
     A:setup
If A: is not the floppy drive in use, substitute the correct
letter (and directory path if needed).  It is immaterial
whether the command be in capital or small letters.

SETUP will propose to create directory C:\MMTYPE and write
the files there, installing MasterMind Typing completely. 
You may approve C:\MMTYPE or specify another destination. 
SETUP will check first and abort, with notice, if space
available on the destination disk is less than 1.2 Mbytes.


EXTRACTION FROM ZIP OR SDN ARCHIVES

This does not apply if you are installing MasterMind Typing
from a removable diskette or from MM*.EXE.

*.ZIP and *.SDN archives are common formats on electronic
bulletin boards (BBS).  Sometimes we divide MasterMind Typing
into *A.* and *B.* so either archive will transmit at 2400
baud within 30 minutes, which is a common limit on BBS
connect time.  Descriptive text for MasterMind Typing is in
FILE_ID.DIZ of a ZIP archive or MM*.SDA of an SDN archive. 
When you unzip the second archive, there may be a warning
about FILE_ID.DIZ overwrite, to which any reply is all right. 
(Soon you will discard FILE_ID.DIZ anyway.)

With the proper utility (PKUNZIP or ARJ) for the archive,
extract the individual files.  Please put all in the same
directory, a temporary directory that we shall call \MMTEMP
though you may use any name.  Though de-archived, most of the
files still are in a compressed format.  Then proceed with
step 2 SETUP as described below for de-archived files,
substituting the true directory's name if it is not \MMTEMP.


INSTALLATION FROM ARCHIVES (MM*.EXE, MM*.ZIP OR MM*.SDN)

This does not apply if you received MasterMind Typing on a
floppy diskette.

One normally receives compressed archives via modem. 
Self-extracting MM*.EXE is more convenient, but .ZIP and .SDN
archives are easier to check for viruses.  If you want to put
MasterMind Typing 1.x in a new BBS or library, please advise
Peter Turnquist, who will supply an appropriate
configuration.  We encourage distribution of version 1.x
(shareware) and forbid distributing version 2.x.

Installation from MM*.EXE has two steps as follows.  Step 2
follows execution of MM*.EXE or extraction from a ZIP or SDN
archive.

1.  Make current the drive containing both MM*.EXE and
Windows, usually drive C.  MM*.EXE may be in any directory. 
Run MM*.EXE from either Windows or DOS.  This will extract
the constituent files and write them in temporary directory
\MMTEMP of the same drive.  The extraction program
automatically creates directory \MMTEMP unless it already
exists.  After extraction, README.TXT is accessible in
directory \MMTEMP; but MasterMind Typing programs still are
compressed and cannot execute.

2.  From Windows (not DOS), run the program file--
     \MMTEMP\SETUP.EXE
SETUP will decompress and ask you where to write the files,
offering directory C:\MMTYPE as the default destination. 
SETUP will check first and abort, with notice, if space
available on the destination disk is less than 1.2 Mbytes.

If installation step 2 fails because of insufficient disk
space, please try moving the results of de-archiving
(directory \MMTEMP contents) to a floppy diskette.  Also move
the archive (MM*.EXE, MM*.ZIP or MM*.SDN) to your backup
medium.  Delete from your main disk both directory \MMTEMP
and the archive(s).  (Use caution if files besides MasterMind
Typing share \MMTEMP.)  From Windows, direct the SETUP
command to the floppy diskette for installation step 2.

If installing without ToolBook because your system already
has it, please read the following section too.


INSTALLATION SEPARATELY FROM TOOLBOOK

This applies if you are installing MasterMind Typing alone
(roughly 120K when compressed for distribution).  You must
install ToolBook besides, unless in your system already.  If
you are installing a configuration of MasterMind Typing that
incorporates ToolBook (roughly 700K when compressed for
distribution), this section does not apply.

The ToolBook files, which serve many applications besides
MasterMind Typing, are free downloads in CompuServe, ZiffNet
and PC MagNet.  At this writing, the best selection for
MasterMind Typing is TBKEXE.ZIP and TBKDLL.ZIP from
CompuServe's WINUSER forum library 2, Announcements/Demos.  
Beware, library assignments and archive configurations and
names are subject to change.  Still, one can find the
ToolBook archives reliably by browsing "all" libraries in
WINUSER or WINAPA of CompuServe, or TIPS of ZiffNet or PC
MagNet, using keyword "toolbook."

For MasterMind Typing, the prerequisite ToolBook files are:
     TBKBASE.DLL, 354K
     TBKCOMP.DLL, 105K
     TBKUTIL.DLL, 60K
     TBOOK.EXE, 400K
     TBKNET.EXE, 6K, if installed on a network

First, please follow the procedures above to extract and
install from an archive.  Depending on how you installed
ToolBook, MasterMind Typing installation may be complete
after SETUP execution.  Try double-clicking the MasterMind
Typing icon.  If installation is complete, MasterMind Typing
will start.

If Windows reports inability to find the entire application,
please use File Manager to "associate" ToolBook with
MasterMind Typing.  Choose File|Associate, which produces a
dialog box.  In the space for "Files with Extension," enter
          tbk
Then tab to the space for "Associate With," and edit it to
read
          \<path>\tbook.exe
<path> is the directory or path for the ToolBook files, for
example, TOOLBOOK.


TIDYING AFTER INSTALLATION

On the Windows desktop, SETUP leaves the MasterMind Typing
icon, overlapping M's, in a new window titled "Temporary
Group."  Please use your mouse to drag the icon to the group
window where you wish to keep it.  Before you start the move,
the destination window must be at least partly visible.

Place the mouse pointer on the icon.  Then, while holding
down the left mouse button, move the mouse to drag the icon. 
When the icon is within the destination window, release the
button.

With a mouse click, please reactivate the Temporary Group
window, which now should be empty.  Remove the temporary
window with the DELete key.

You may start MasterMind Typing by double-clicking its icon.

This paragraph does not apply if you installed MasterMind
Typing from a removable diskette.  File Manager is convenient
for this.  After copying MM*.EXE or MM*.ZIP or MM*.SDN to
your usual backup medium--a floppy, for example--please
delete the original archive(s) from your hard disk. 
Directory \MMTEMP and its files have no more use, so please
delete them too.  (Use caution if files besides MasterMind
Typing share \MMTEMP.)  Be sure to keep everything that is in
directory \MMTYPE.

This paragraph applies only if you did a MasterMind Typing
installation including ToolBook files that duplicate a
ToolBook installation elsewhere in your system.  If you have
ToolBook elsewhere and Windows "associates" ToolBook
elsewhere with MasterMind Typing, please erase the duplicate
files from the MasterMind Typing directory (normally
\MMTYPE).  Do not erase TBKVIDEO.DLL, which is not a ToolBook
file.  "Installation from MMPART*.*" above lists the relevant
ToolBook files and explains "association."


KEYBOARD SELECTION

In the U.S.A., US keyboard layout is standard so this
discussion is unnecessary.  In Windows, please choose the US 
keyboard layout (not US-International) for standard
MasterMind Typing.  If the title bar of your MasterMind
Typing says "British" or "UK," please choose the British
keyboard layout instead.  The Windows access route is Main|
ControlPanel|International|KeyboardLayout.  

MasterMind Typing teaches finger positions for the US key
layout only, except in the British adaptation.  This only
affects a few keys in Phase 1 lessons.  But an incompatible
keyboard choice in Windows makes it impossible to finish a
Phase 1 lesson that includes one of the peculiar keys. 
(Shareware version 1.x is Phase 1.)

If you keep the Control Panel icon minimized on your Windows
desktop, it is easy to change keyboard layouts for different
applications.  For Phases 2 and 3 of MasterMind Typing
version 2.x, please reset Windows to your national keyboard.

With Windows set for the US keyboard, even if partly
inconsistent with your keyboard, MasterMind Typing should
work with keyboards for all languages that use the Roman
alphabet.  The only disadvantage is this:  for a few of the
less-important symbols, MasterMind Typing will teach finger
positions unlike what they will be when you reset to your
national key layout.


IF THE INSTALLATION IS INOPERATIVE

For display, the most reliable mode is 640x480 VGA, 16
colors.  The Windows way to change the display is
Main|WindowsSetup|Options|ChangeSystemSettings|Display.

Please be sure that the files listed under "Uninstalling and
Reinstalling" are present in \MMTYPE or the equivalent
directory, except that the ToolBook files may be in a
separate directory.  ("Association" via File Manager is
irrelevant for the manual setup described below.)  If all
files are present but automatic setup failed, the probable
cause is a nonstandard Windows installation.  With Program
Manager or an equivalent shell, you can redo setup manually
as follows.  If your Windows shell is not from Microsoft, you
may need to translate these directions.

If setup created a MasterMind Typing icon, please
single-click it; then choose File|Properties for adjustment. 
If setup failed even to create an icon, please choose
File|New|ProgramItem.  Either way, the following entries
should make MasterMind Typing work.

     Description:   Typing

     Command Line:  C:\<path>\tbook  mmtype.tbk

     Working Directory:  C:\mmtype

     Icon File Name:     C:\mmtype\mmbw.ico

If you have MasterMind Typing on a drive other than C, please
substitute the proper letter.  For the generic <path>, please
substitute the path to the ToolBook files, usually directory
MMTYPE, WINDOWS or TOOLBOOK.  Similarly, change the directory
\MMTYPE if you put MasterMind Typing elsewhere.  The icon
file name is accessible from the Program Item Properties
dialog box via "Change Icon."


OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MasterMind Typing will put appropriate instructions on-screen
as you use it.  If you wish, a mouse click on a PRINT button
will send the instructions of interest to your printer.

You will use your mouse to set up a lesson.  Within a lesson,
though, the mouse is inoperative and you use keys only.  The
control to stop or interrupt a lesson is function key <F1>.

Before reading the instructions thoroughly, it helps to start
your first lesson and observe how MasterMind Typing works. 
This will make the instructions easier to understand.  But
please run a lesson no more than a few minutes before reading
the instructions, or you will develop bad habits.


SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION

Version 2.x is not shareware and not distributable.  The
following applies to distribution of version 1.x shareware by
both professionals and amateurs.  Version 1.x shareware
distribution must be either free of charge or within the
rules of the Association of Shareware Professionals. 
Automated installation requires tailoring the file
configuration to accommodate the distribution vehicle
(diskette or modem) and often more.

Please contact Peter Turnquist to get MasterMind Typing
configured for the distribution intended.  No charge.  To
remake an archive or file set is improper, because the change
would breach the license and probably impair installation.

A catalog of shareware, electronic or otherwise, must
describe version 1.x in terms approved by Peter Turnquist. 
The latest revision of CATALOG.TXT or FILE_ID.DIZ or
MMTYPE*.SDA, issued by Peter Turnquist, is an approved
description.


UPGRADE; SUPPORT; ORDERS

If you have only shareware version 1.x, you need version 2.x
for advanced lessons.   Because version 1.x takes only about
six hours to teach you the keyboard, please order your 2.x
upgrade NOW!  So you will have your advanced lessons when you
want them.  For the order form, click the "upgrade" button
while running shareware version 1.x.

Upgrade 2.x adds two more phases of learning for dexterity
and speed.  Working with full words, phase 2 quickly makes
you adept on all the 2-letter and 3-letter sequences common
in English.  Then finish the course with sentence text in
phase 3.  Besides perfecting your typing, phase 3 enables you
to impress friends with eloquent recitations.  As in phase 1,
the MasterMind magic makes learning fast and easy in advanced
phases too.

DEVELOPER LICENSING

Besides typing, MasterMind accelerates learning for anything
expressible as questions and brief answers.  The MasterMind
engine can link with an application at either compile time or
run time.  It runs as a number-generator specifying the
sequence of lesson items.  Software developers, please
contact Peter Turnquist about licensing and technical
information.
