- SCHOOL-MOM is an educational tool for children of all ages.
- Its main options are Music, Art, Spelling, English, Math, Exams,
- Time and Registration. The purpose of the Registration
- option is to assist you with registering your copy of the
- software.
-
- For more detailed information on SCHOOL-MOM you can read the
- manual which is stored in the MANUAL.DOC file. You can print
- this file to the screen while in the operating system by typing
- TYPE MANUAL.DOC then pressing ENTER, or you can print it to a
- printer by typing PRINT MANUAL.DOC then pressing ENTER. If you
- are unable to print the manual using the print command try
- typing COPY MANUAL.DOC PRN then pressing ENTER.
-
- The minimum software requirement is DOS 2.0 or higher. The
- minimum hardware requirements for SCHOOL-MOM are 256K of RAM
- and Color graphics. A mouse is optional. This software does
- not run on the PCjr.
-
- To run the program simply place the disk in the drive, type
- GO, then press ENTER. This startup procedure may vary
- depending on which shareware dealer you acquire the software
- from. If typing GO doesn't work try using SM. When you see
- the main options window, use the up and down arrow keys or
- press the key corresponding to the first letter of the option
- you desire. This will highlight your desired option. Next,
- press the enter key to accept the option. A suboption or level
- window will become visible then. You must then choose an
- option or level from this window using the same technique as
- before. If you get into trouble just accept "END" or press the
- "ESC" key.
-
- If you want to turn the sound off, use the left arrow key to
- highlight OFF. To turn it back on use the right arrow key to
- highlight ON. You can change the sound on/off setting at any
- time you are able to see the sound on/off indicator.
-
- You may place this program and its files on your hard disk.
- I recommend you place it on a directory called SM. You can do
- this manually or you can use the install batch file that is
- located on the disk. To do this just place your disk in the
- floppy drive, type INSTALL C: then press ENTER. This will
- install School-Mom on the SM directory of the C drive. If you
- use a hard drive with another designator other than C then use
- that designator. For example, if your hard drive is the D
- drive then use INSTALL D: instead. This install file will also
- place a GO.BAT file on the root directory of your hard drive.
- Now you can run School-Mom from the root directory by typing
- GO then pressing ENTER.
-
- I suggest you keep a safe backup copy of all the files on this
- disk. If the work copy of the data files gets damaged, you can
- reproduce it using the backup.
-
- If you have technical questions about how to use this software
- you may write to me at the address shown below.

-
- I'll answer all your questions related to the program and how to use
- it. If you are a member of Compuserve Information Service you may
- also leave messages for me there. My user ID is 73757,1111.
-
- When you are ready to register your copy of SCHOOL-MOM, you may
- use the Registration option to print a registration letter.
- In your registration package you'll receive a registered version
- of School-Mom, the School-Mom manual, the File Change utility,
- and a free copy of The Children's Graphics Program (requires EGA).
-
- If you do not live in the US you can purchase a postal money-order
- in US funds at your post office or postal center. Send this with
- your registration letter as payment for registration.
-
- In order to promote widespread distribution of this program I'm
- making this offer. If you will upload this program to at least
- one BBS you may register for $5.00 off the regular price.
-
- If for any reason you are unable to print the registration
- letter from the Registration option, you may print the one
- that is located in the REG-LTR.DOC file. This file should
- be on the disk and can be printed from DOS by typing PRINT
- REG-LTR.DOC then pressing ENTER.
-
- Site licenses are available. To use this software on 2 to 10
- computers the site license is $50.00. To use it on an unlimited
- number of computers the cost is $100.00. For those institutions
- that desire a site license an invoice is available on this disk.
- Just print the file invoice.doc to your printer.
-
- Finally, let me say that perfection is something that I continue
- to strive for but never expect to achieve. Therefore, you may
- find errors in this program. If you find any kind of error in
- the program or the data files please let me know. I appreciate
- the help you provide. I promise to do my best to fix the errors
- then send you (the person who finds the error) a corrected copy
- at my own expense.

- I believe the strength and prosperity of the U.S. has always
- relied on the level of our education and character of our
- people. Now, the education level in the U.S. is actually
- decreasing rather than increasing. Illiteracy is becoming
- common and knowledge of science and technology is becoming rare.
- In most U.S. Universities the foreign students specializing in
- science and technology now outnumber the American students. By
- putting this software on the shareware market I hope to do my
- part to help educate our youth. Please contribute to its
- development by registering your copy.
