        Thank you for evaluating this beta version of Idiot-Speak 2.0
******************************************************************************

Thank you for taking your time to download Idiot-Speak 2.0 Beta #1.  This
version has been programmed and tested by Alex Weekley and Shawn Henry.
Idiot-Speak has been bug-tested to some extent, but it is not perfect, so
we are releasing this beta for evaluation and comments.  If you find any
errors or have suggestions for changes/additions in the program please
send e-mail to Alex at rednax89@airmail.net or Shawn at antihero@popi.net.

PROGRAM NOTES:

Idiot-Speak 2.0 uses PKLite 2.01 for compressing the IDIOT.COM main program
file and the BE.DAT run-time library.  BE.DAT is used for color functions,
making the windows that "explode" on to the screen, time delays used in
places like the credits, and the "Enter a choice:" menus.  It's quite a
useful program.  Try it yourself by copying it as BE.EXE.  The source code
for Idiot-Speak will not be distributed.

LAST MINUTE NOTE: We decided not to use PKLite on IDIOT.COM because when I
compiled it for the final time, its size just happened to be exactly 20,000
bytes. <g>

While this beta version is packed full of great stuff, it is quite likely
that the programmers will add a menu or two with some more options. We
probably will release changes as Beta Version #2 before releasing the full
version of Idiot-Speak 2.0. This is so we can receive comments/bug reports
to fix before the final version goes out.

This beta version of Idiot-Speak 2.0 is being distributed as a PkZip/WinZip
