- CRAZY TALES
- The Fun Way To Learn Grammar
-
- Getting Started:
-
- After running INSTALL to transfer all program and data files to
- your hard drive, you start the program by typing CT. If INSTALL
- finds the SBTALKER driver it will generate a batch file name
- GOCT.bat which will load the SBTALKER driver for you and then
- start CT. The SBTALKER will give several verbal instructions and
- will read the completed story to you. You are missing a lot of
- fun if you don't have a Sound Blaster Card.

- How To Run The Program:

- After starting the program, you will see a Welcome Screen that
- tells you a little about the program. Before you can perform any
- word substitutions you will need to load a story file. Select
- the (L)oad option from the menu bar either with the mouse or by
- pressing the letter "L". A file loading screen will appear
- listing all of the story files found on disk, in the CT program
- directory. You can select a story file by pressing the letter
- beside the story file name or use the mouse to click on the name.
-
- Once the story file is loaded you will be shown, and told
- verbally if you have a Sound Blaster, how many substitutions of
- each word type are required. You can select any of the word
- types from the menu bar by pressing any of the following keys or
- by clicking on the menu bar with the mouse:
-
- (N)oun p(R)onoun (V)erb (A)dverb ad(J)ective
-
-
-
-
-
- Enter the required number of words for each word type. After all
- words are entered you will be able to read the story with your
- words substituted for the original words.
-
- If you wish to edit your word list, then select the word type,
- like (N)oun, from the menu bar and make your changes.
-
- You can print your new story by selecting the (P)rint option from
- the menu bar. It will be printed on your standard line printer
- attached to your primary line printer port LPT1.
-
- Selecting se(T)up on the menu bar will allow you to change the
- program options like, Normal or Advanced mode, Printing Device
