                                  Description


Ham Radio Tutor is a drill program for the Ham License tests. It 
Drills one on Technician,Extra and General question pools, it creates
sample tests, Drills on missed questions, Can take entire question pools
in straight or random order. Includes graphic figures.

Computers have a reputation for speeding things up. This includes studying for 
Ham Radio tests. This program is very helpful in memorizing items needed for
the test. Often times,test questions are worded in ways that fool you.
By using this program you will not be thrown by them.

Ham Radio Tutor  drills you on questions you don't know instead of the
questions you do know the answers to.

What you do is to take every question in the element topics. You can do
this a little at a time; because the computer remembers which questions you
have taken. Then You choose missed questions for the computer to drill you in
questions you have missed.

Then you take the sample test which represents what you would be given in a
real test. If you flunk the test you can then go thru every question you have
missed.


                           Windows 9x Installation


Unzip the program to "C:\Ham Radio Tutor" folder.

Copy the "Ham Radio Tutor" shortcut to either your desktop or to
"Windows\StartMenu\Programs"  folder.

To use a different Font.

Right Click on the Ham Radio Tutor ShortCut. Click on properties.
Change "C:TUTOR.EXE" to "C:TUTORE.EXE Font:"FontName"

Example "C:Tutor.exe  Font:Readable"

This sets the program to Readable font of the Tutor fonts folder.



                            MSDOS Installation


Unzip the program to a directory of your choice.

To Run type "TUTOR" 

"TUTOR" VGA

This uses vga mode only.

There are two ways to use different fonts with Ham Radio Tutor

1. Add Font:"FontName" TO command

    Example "Tutor  Font:Readable"
    This tells the program to Readable font in the Tutor fonts directory

2. Set the Environmental varable TUTORFONT to the font you want. The
   font can be anywhere on your harddrive. Set it from the command line or
   set the environmental varable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.

   Example

   "SET TUTORFONT=C:\DOS\FONTS\READABLE.F16"

   This Tells Tutor that the font to use is C:\DOS\FONTS\READABLE.F16

   If you don't tell Tutor to use a font it will use the default font
   Win.F16 in Tutor's Fonts Directory.



                             Font Capabilities

I have added font capabilites to Ham Radio Tutor. This means if you
don't like the font used in Ham Radio Tutor you can tell the progam to
use a differt font. See Installation details for more info. There are many
fonts available in the fonts directory.

I have also include a viewfont program so you can see what the fonts look
like. Most of the fonts is just showing off the program. But if you have
trouble reading the monitor;try using the READABLE font.
