ABOUT  TIPTAP
==============

Welcome to TipTap Lite, a multimedia system providing a unique
learning experience for children.
 
TipTap is a system designed to teach typing and handwriting skills,
phonics, and grammar. The user receives a combination of auditory,
visual and tactile reinforcement. This is known as a multi-sensory
approach to learning and is beneficial for all students, regardless
of individual learning style.

Through beautiful and colorful animations, illustrations, creative
sound-effects, systematic repetition, and reinforcement of correct
responses, youngsters happily engage in an exciting learning experience.
Lessons can be printed on either a dot matrix, laser or PostScript(tm)
printer, allowing children to create their own illustrated spelling books
for practice, and serving as a visible record of their accomplishments.
Exercises are designed to be brief; repetition is encouraged.

About WinG from Microsoft Corporation
====================================
The first time a WinG application runs in a new video mode or after
a new display driver has been installed, WinG performs a performance
test to determine the fastest way to display graphics to your display.
You will only see this performance test once for a any given video mode.
On slower machines the test may last several minutes. WinG is part
of the new Chicago (Windows 95) version of Windows graphical interface.

WinG version 1.0 provides the fastest graphics to screen capabilities
under Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 95, and
Windows NT version 3.5. WinG will not run on Windows NT version 3.1
or on earlier versions of Windows.

WinG requires a 386 or better processor to run.
WinG will not run on a 286.
See WING.TXT file for more information.
