- IdioMagic Software. (Demo Release 2.2)
-
- The purpose of the IdioMagic software comes in 2 folds: 1) to teach idioms 2)
- to provide users (including native speakers of English) with a handy idiom
- reference. The reference is a "smart" feature of IdioMagic. The DICTIONARY
- allows an easy way of looking up an idiom. The THESAURUS will find idioms for
- you, which match with a particular meaning, idea or situation.
-
- What's NEW? Version 2.2 has PROGRESS CHART that shows how well you are doing
- on each idiom, and you can directly review a particular idiom while you are on
- the Progress Chart screen. Quizzes and exercises will try to include idioms
- that you answered incorrectly during previous quizzes and exercises, more so
- than those you have answered correctly. Also, incompatibility with some old
- monochrome videos is now fixed.
-
- The file IDIOM.ZIP should include the following files:
-
- IDIOM.EXE the program IDIOMD.BIN data file
- IDIOMD.IND data file IDIOMD.CON data file
- IDIOMD1.HLP - IDIOMD9.HLP help files INTRO.DOC introduction screen
- READTHIS this file file_id.diz file I.D.
-
- When you use IdioMagic for the first time, the program creates 2 small files:
- IDIOMD.SCO (score) and IDIOMD.SYS (system information)
-
- All of the files above should be copied to the same directory either to a hard
- disk or a floppy disk. If you have a hard disk, copy the files to it, but
- first make a sub-directory by typing:
- <COMMANDS> <Explanations>
- c: (Enter) log on to C drive
- cd \ (Enter) go to root directory
- md idiom (Enter) make IDIOM sub-directory
- cd idiom (Enter) go to IDIOM sub-directory
-
- Now you can copy the floppy disk that contains IdioMagic files
- to the hard disk in IDIOM sub-directory by typing:
- copy a:*.* c: (Enter) copies files from drive A
-
- If you are copying from the drive B, type:
- copy b:*.* c: (Enter)
-
- (Of course the above copy was meant for the files that were "unzipped"
- onto a floppy disk)
-
- When you want to start the program, log on to the disk/directory
- that contains the files:
- a: (Enter) or
- b: (Enter) for a floppy disk operations or
-
- or
-
- c: (Enter) for a hard disk
- cd \idiom (Enter)
-
- Then type:
- idiom (Enter) starts IdioMagic
