Program descriptions:
 
This diskette contains a multitude of educational software for both the
teacher's aid and also for the student's benefit.  The following is a
short description of each program contained on this disk.  Please note
that some programs do require a color monitor.  Each program was found
to be very well written and easy use.
 
 
GRADE.COM:
This program is the demo version of the Register package.  Please note
that the demo version is fully functional, but the registered version
contains many extended features.
 
Written by a teacher for teachers and tested in the classroom.  The
program is primarily intended for junior and senior high school
teachers; however, college teachers can find it useful also.  These
instructors do not have to worry about the concept of working in
"quarters," nor will they be likely to use the progress reports; but the
computational parts of the program will prove useful.  In this program,
grades are entered in a structured format and teachers can keep track of
each student's marks via a database of students' scores.  Reports can be
generated and modifications of the database are available.  Register
contains a well written documentation file about 40k.
 
Requirements for Register: PC/XT or true compatible (untested on AT),
DOS 2.xx or higher, 1 DSDD drive, 128 K, mono or color graphic card, RGB
monitor recommended, printer (dot matrix recommended).
 
 
STAR.BAS
is a program which maps the night sky as seen from any point on
earth at any time.  This program would be much improved if you use IBM's
Basic Compiler, but I don't have it myself.
 
STAR.DAT
is a database of about 200 star locations and magnitudes used
by STAR.BAS.
 
 
MENU.BAS
is a program which will bring the user into three wonderfully
written educational programs, Name That Planet, Multitime, and
Historomania.  Written by Atlas Software, these programs each contain
color graphics and fine computer-student interaction.  In Name That
Planet, each planet in our solar system is displayed on the screen in
color and graphics and the student is to name the planet.  Planet
relative size and placement are displayed as hints.  Historomania is a
history trivia quiz program with different levels of difficulty.
Lastly, Multitime will drill students on multiplication factors.  Each
program can be run from the master menu which selects each from a nice
graphic image of the atlas; this program has color, graphics and sound.
