Overview
Free Windows multimedia educational program for children aged 3-6. A
challenging and entertaining approach to letters, numbers, counting, simple 
spelling and much more. Plus a bonus jigsaw game which your child will love.

Options
Make your choice of US or UK spelling. (This can be changed later by running
the 'Change Options' program).

System Requirements
Almost any computer running Windows 3.1/Win 95 or above (PC 386 or above, 
4mb ram, vga/svga monitor). A soundcard is recommended, but not essential.

Installation
Simply run the installation program "install.exe". During installation simply folow 
on screen instructions and answer 'yes' to any  queries unless you have good reason.

If you have the self extracting version of the program, simply run "rayabc10.exe",
instead of "install.exe".

That's it!  The programs are now fully installed and ready for use. You will be given 
an option to run Ray's Letters and Numbers immediately.

Running the Program
Win 3.1 
Click on the 'Letters and Numbers' icon in the 'Ray's Letters and Numbers' group 
which will be on your desktop.

Win95
From the start menu, select programs and then the 'Ray's Letters and Numbers' folder. 
Then select the 'Letters and Numbers' icon to run the program.

Note: The program makes use of the Windows clipboard.
      Data stored in the clipboard (eg by the 'copy' command) will be lost.

Uninstall Information
Ray's Letters and Numbers does not change your system files and uses the
program folder/directory (raysabc) for all it's own files, except vbrun300.dll
which is copied to the WindowsSystem directory. This file is used by many Windows
programs and is best left on your system.
