SEND YOUR REGISTERATION IN NOW TO RECEIVE YOUR 160 MINUTE VIDEO TAPE COURSE
TO HELP YOU BREEZE THRU THE LESSONS. YOU WILL ALSO GET ADVANCED TOPIC LESSONS
THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED ON THIS DISK. PLUS YOU'LL GET A DISCOUNT ON THE 
INDISPENSIBLE SPINDRIFT FORTRAN LIBRARY AND HELP WITH YOR FORTRAN PROGRAMS
FOR 60 DAYS.
                
                
                Notes on the Volume-1 of Fortran training video:
                                    

There are 12 topics, each listed in a filename with the topic number in
capital roman numerals followed by the tape display sequence number. For
example file VII2.FOR shows the SECOND board display for topic 7.

PLEASE BE SURE TO PRINT THE FILES ON EACH TOPIC BEFORE 
VIEWING THE PERTAINING TOPIC ON THE TAPE.

Be sure to print out the files in case the video display from 
the tape is too small or not legible. This also relieves you of having to 
copy the material on display so you can make your own personal notes
on the print-outs.

The outline of the course (the video display before Topic-1) is in this
subdirectory, in the file named OUTLINE. 

Your success in learning Fortran would be assured if you observe two 
rules in viewing the tape(s). 

First: SPACE THE READINGS/VIEWINGS WITH ONE OR TWO DAY INTERVALS. DO NOT 
attempt to view/read more than one topic in one sitting. If you are new to 
programming try to limit your viewing to approximately one half of a 
topic's duration, or approximately two tape cuts, at a time.

Second: PRACTICE WHAT YOU LEARN. Minimally try to rewrite the code given
during the description of each topic WITHOUT peeking/copying the source code.
Preferably define your own problems and try to produce codes to solve the
defined problem using the learned material. Occasionally, suggestions are
made at the end of each topic, in the form of assigned exercises which
you should consider implementing.



Please take the time to send in your registration card, which entitles you
to a 160 minute vode tape, and also to free help with your fortran 
programming for 60 days after the receipt of your registration via e-mail 
or fax. You will also be entitled to a $20 discount on Fortran Spindrift 
library and a free demo disk for this indispensible Fortran library.
Look up the file SPIN to get an idea of the power of over 270 ready to use
routines available in the library. Access PC functions, add mouse support
and colorful user interface menus, and much more.

Good luck
