Welcome in the fascinating world of learning and multimedia!

This courseware is the product of several hundred hours of work at the
prepatory level as well as in the actual production of the document.

We hope that the quality of this work meets with your expectations.

To give you a glimse of what kind and how much information is packed in
this courseware, a demo package was prepared: the main menu and the first
screen of each chapter are fully functional, except for certain
navigational functions. That way you can click on the different buttons
to see what can happen.

To install the demo:

 A) From diskette drive:
  -1- Under Windows, open the File Manager.
  -2- Double-click on the file called "INSTALL.EXE" on diskette 1.
  -3- Specify the directory where you want to install the demo.

 B) From hard disk:
  -1- Create a temporary directory on the hard disk;
  -2- Copy the content of both demo diskettes in that directory;
  -3- Under Windows, open the File Manager.
  -4- Double-click on the file called "INSTALL.EXE".
  -5- Specify the directory where you want to install the demo.
   When installation is done, you sould remove the temporary directory.

Once part of the Bio-Age tutorial/database package, this interactive
tutorial for the evaluation of Dental Age is now an upgraded course of
its own, which can be used in conjunction with the new Electronic
Encyclopedia on Skeletal Growth.

With over 100 high-resolution images (x-rays, photographs and diagrams) and
800 pages of text, this document offers a high quality presentation of the
findings of a 25 year research project on child growth & development.

Aimed at dentists, orthodontists and pediatricians, the information given
is divided into 5 sections: a tutorial (supported by a bibliography and
some sample x-rays), a training module for beginner and advanced users,
and a clinical evaluation utility for practical use.
