DESCRIPTION --------------------------------------------------------
KIDSCON ver 5.0 (Kids Concentration) is a game that is based on the
old game of Concentration.  This program was designed with kids in
mind to help them develop their concentration skills, hand-eye
coordination (via the mouse), while learning about the alphabet,
numbers, and colors. The program contains five different matching
games for variety, each supporting three levels of difficulty.  A
pleasant female voice is used throughout, along with actual animal
sounds, and other sound effects.

PREVIOUS INSTALLATION ----------------------------------------------
If you have a previously installed version of KIDSCON, (ver 4.1 or
lower), you should delete all the previous installed files before
you install this new version. You can do this by deleting the
KIDSCON directory which will delete all files contained within the
directory (KIDSCON.EXE, README.TXT, and all 82 KC_?????.WAV files),
as they are no longer required.

If you have registered a previous version, you DO NOT have to
register again.
