[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Typing Tutor Program for the IBM PC

jvb7u@astsun1.acc.Virginia.EDU (Jon Brinkmann) (06/27/89)

I am looking for a PD/Shareware (CHEAP! ;`) Typing tutor program for my kids.
I looked in SIMTEL20, but didn't see anything.  Can anyone point me in the
right direction?

Jon

I have a program that is Shareware that will help with typing.  The
program is called LetterFall.  I'll try to upload it and send it to you.
I hope this helps.  LaTeR.

Get tsgmeb10.arc.  It contains a game for learning typing.  It is
available by anonymous ftp from University of Vaasa, Finland, site
128.214.12.3 from directory /pc/ts.  And as far as I know it is
available from SIMTEL20 as well!  (Motto: Why shouldn't learning be
fun?)  Then there is also a tutor called typdrill.arc, but that is
not available here.  For typdrill bulletin boards are probably your
best bet.
