                            -----------------------------

          I owe a great deal of thanks to many users of the ABC FUN KEYS
          program for their ideas which you see incorporated below.  I
          sincerely welcome any suggestions you may have that will make
          this program more enjoyable for little children.

          ABC FUN KEYS VER. 4.1
          ---------------------
            *  Added on-screen scrolling lyrics for all twenty-seven
               nursery rhyme songs.

            *  Many of the nursery rhyme melodies have been revised and
               improved.  * MANY THANKS * to Jeff Elhai of East Lansing,
               Michigan for these corrections and improvements!  Jeff also
               provided many of the other suggestions which have been
               incorporated in this latest release.  Thank you Jeff!

            *  Shut off NUM Lock, Scroll Lock, and Caps Lock upon initial
               entry to program to avoid confusion with several features.

            *  Added functional arrow keys to the opening kid's menu.

            *  Added adjustable timing for Game 3 and the corresponding
               control panel settings.

            *  Added an option for easy program restart and exit.

            *  Added an option to allow PrtScreen to function.

            *  The number of songs can be set with a command line parameter
               to allow users to add their own songs.

            *  Made several changes to differentiate between the registered
               user and shareware versions of the program in the opening
               copyright screen and windowed "THANK YOU" screen.

            *  Many improvements were made in the documentation including
               separate registration instant mailer, an index, hard disk
               instructions, and "quick start" documentation.


          ABC FUN KEYS VER. 4.0
          ---------------------
            *  Program completely re-written in Borland's Turbo C Ver.2.0
               and Mike Smeldey's excellent "CXL Extended Function Library"
               available as shareware.

            *  Support for monochrome monitors using the Hercules graphics
               standard.  (This required a lot of code.)

            *  Addition of Game 2 -- Guess Quick.

            *  Addition of Game 3 -- Heaven & Mud.



            *  The addition of the Children's Picture Menu to open the
               game.

            *  The addition of command line control parameters.

            *  The addition of game configuration files to save letter and
               feature selections.

            *  The addition of lower case letters in the alphabet picture
               files.

            *  A greatly improved Picture Selection & Control Menu.

            *  A help screen for the Picture Selection & Control Menu.

            *  The ability to synchronize the nursery rhyme songs to the
               pictures.

            *  Improved picture compression technique so the program takes
               up less space on disk.

            *  Use of a single file for nursery rhyme songs to cut down on
               wasted cluster space on disk.  (I really had to work hard to
               get this program to fit on a single diskette!).
