1. What is 'Memory Wizard (MemWiz)'? 

 - 'Memory Wizard' is a small-sized Windows95/NT(32Bit) application 
   that helps you memorize whatever you have to learn by heart.

 - 'Memory Wizard' pops up periodically with the user-prepared 
   questions & answers on your computer screen.

 - For whoever works in front of a PC every day.

 - For whoever has lots of things to memorize gradually.

 - Especially for students & examinees preparing themselves for
   examinations!

 - You don't have to worry about when or how to review them.
   Memory Wizard will manage the review schedule automatically for you.

 

2. What are the great changes on v2.0 ? (compared with v1.0)

 - You can create & use as many MWD files as possible.

   (The navigation buttons are introduced.)

 - You can configure the 'Question Range' as you want.

 - You have the choice of the various Review Modes predefined for you.
   ('Careful', 'Normal', 'Rough', 'No Review' modes)

   you can go to any question by the 'Go' button.

   (new LCD panel, new backgroud image, new buttons)



3. System Requirements & Installation

 * Windows95/NT (Win32)
 * 486 PC or better
 * 256 color graphics mode or better
 * About 1MB free disk space

 - Make a new directory (folder) for Memory Wizard on your hard disk.
   (e.g. C:\Prosignr\MemWiz\ )

 - Copy all the related files to the directory. (see below)
    1) MemWiz.exe    : executable file
    2) MemWiz.mwd    : a default MWD file
    3) Backimg.bmp   : bitmap file (for internal use only)
    4) MemWiz.wav    : display signal wave file

    6) Manual.txt    : this user's manual text file

 - Add a shortcut icon for the 'MemWiz.exe' file to the 'Start Program'
   folder of your Windows95/NT system.  If you do, you don't have to 
   execute MemWiz manually every day.

 - Run 'MemWiz.exe'

 

4. Usage

 - Prepare your own test question & answer pairs for the material you
   want to memorize. You can refer some books that you already have.

 - Use the 'Edit' function to enter your Q&A pairs.
   The first time you run Memory Wizard, you'd better enter several items.

 - All the Q&A pairs that you add will be saved in an MWD file. 
   ('MWD' is an acronym for 'Memory Wizard Data.')

 - The maximum capacity of each MWD file is 1,000 Q&A pairs.
   In a demo version, the number of the available Q&A pairs is 
   limited to only 20 of them.

 - You can create new MWD files by 'New MWD file' function.

 - You can open other MWD files by 'Open MWD file' function.
   The most recently used file will be shown next running.

 - All the information of the current status & configurations are saved
   into the corresponding MWD file.

 - According to the 'Memory Schedule' chosen by you, 
   Memory Wizard will ask you adequate questions.


 - In the 'Memory Schedule' dialog

   > Before you study, you should decide the 'Question Range' which
     means the range you want to memorize.

   > With the 'From' button & the 'End' button, you may enter the 
     index numbers of the first & the last question.

   > If you check the 'Start with initializing records', 
     Memory Wizard will initialize all the study records of the
     specified question range before it starts.

   > There are four predefined 'Review Mode's.

      1) 'Careful'  : You will be asked each question total '6' times.
                      -in the current question range- 

      2) 'Normal'   : You will be asked each question total '4' times.
                      -in the current question range-

      3) 'Rough'    : You will be asked each question total twice.
                      -in the current question range-

      4) 'No Review': You will be asked each question only once.
                      -in the current question range-
                      

   > Let's see some examples!

     Assume that the Question Range is 'From 1 To 20'.
     You'll be asked the questions according to the 'Review Mode's.

   > Don't worry about the above 'Review Mode' & the examples.
     More you use Memory Wizard, better you can understand it's review
     mechanism.  As a novice, you have to answer the questions which
     Memory Wizard provides for you.  It's simple! isn't it?


 - In the 'Option' dialog

   > You can adjust the pop-up period. (unit : 1 minute)
     After each period passes, Memory Wizard pops up with the next questions.
   
   > If you check the 'Don't appear immediately after execution',
     Memory Wizard will not appear at the beginning of it's execution.
     It is helpful for users who do not want to be asked a question
     right after booting Windows.

   > If you check the 'Hide automatically, if correct',
     Memory Wizard will disappear at your correct answers.
     In this case, it will appear again with the next question 
     after one pop-up period.  If your answer is wrong, Memory Wizard
     will show you the correct answer, and ask you to try again.

   > If you check the 'Sound on',
     Memory Wizard will make it's pop-up sound whenever it appears.

   > If you check the 'Match case',
     Memory Wizard will compare your answers with the corresponding
     correct answers case-sensitively.


 - When you finish typing your answer, push the 'Enter' key to check
   whether your answer is correct or not.

 - When Memory Wizard pops up, you can hide it intentionally with 
   the 'ESC' key or 'Hide' button.  This function will be helpful for
   a user who is busy with other works.  After another pop-up period,
   it will be displayed again.

 - When Memory Wizard is in hiding, you can make it appear by clicking
   the Memory Wizard's icon on the Windows' taskbar.

 - You can go to a specific question within the current question range
   by pushing the 'Go' button. (hotkey F7)

 - If you want to pass the current question without answering it,
   you can go to the next question by pushing the 'Next' button. 
   (hotkey F8)

 - The LCD panel in the right side of Memory Wizard gives the information
   of its current status.

   1) The number of the small square dots on the top line of the panel
      means how many times the current question has been correctly 
      answered by you. (It means the study record mentioned above.)

   2) The 4-digit number on the left-upper part of the panel is
      the index number of the current question.

   3) The 3-digit number on the right-upper part of the panel is
      the progress indicator in a percentage sense which means 
      how many questions in the current range have been asked.

   4) The yellow circle LCD on the left-upper corner of the panel shows
      the current Review Mode. ('c','n','r' and 'x' mean 'Careful','Normal',
      'Rough' and 'No Review' respectively.)

   5) The two 4-digit numbers on the lower part of the panel display
      the current Question Range.  They mean the first & the last question
      of the current Question Range.
