There is also a program called TYPDRILL probably somewhere in our archives.

Any >information will be greatly appreciated. I have two, one that I wrote and one that I've modified and improved. TYPEDRILL - A drill program with two modes: 1. Single large block letters flash on screen; you type them. (Several levels of difficulty.) 2. A line at a time is displayed (from an arbitrary text file). You type to match the line. In either mode, stats on speed and accuracy are kept, and you can display them at any time. Freeware (including Turbo Pascal source). By yours truly. TYPEFAST - A game that stresses typing speed: Words appear on the screen, and float down toward the bottom. You must "shoot down" the words before they reach the bottom of the screen, by typing them correctly. PD (including C source for PC and UNIX). Originally by Steve Spearman, modified by me. I can send or post. (TYPEDRILL is a single-part, TYPEFAST is 2 or 3 parts.) If I get enough requests over the next couple of weeks I'll post it, otherwise I'll just Email it to the requesters. Actually, either or both may have been posted to the net, but not within the last 2 years.

(TYPEDRILL is a single-part, TYPEFAST is 2 or 3 parts.) I would appreciate if you could upload your programs to chyde.uwasa.fi /incoming directory, or if you dont have ftp send them to me over email so that I can make them publicly available from our site. A note for other readers. Please do not follow my bad example of posting a request. I do this to inform the gentle readers that these two programs may be soon available from our site, and that we still invite quality uploads to chyde.uwasa.fi from the original authors. ...................................................................
