                Computer-Aided Reading Improvement Program
                           Shareware Version 1.4

     Welcome to READFAST!  I hope this program will help you to reach
several goals:  read faster when you need to or want to; learn and remember
more from your reading; and read with greater enjoyment.

     The methods presented here are not magic, but they have proved
successful in teaching many people to become more proficient readers.  As
is true for most accomplishments of significance, the mastery of better
reading skills requires some effort.  But the rewards are great!

     After this introduction finishes, you will see the menu again.  You
will probably use choices 2 and 3 just one time each, then choice 4 for
reading at increasing speeds as you progress.
