-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shareware/Install/Verbes.guide -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Main **** Ensemble Verbes is a program to help students practise and master French verbs in the most common tenses of the language. It is designed to *support* classroom work, not to replace it. Ensemble Verbes features: * Online, context-sensitive help via AmigaGuide tm. (Press the Help key!) * Close adherence to Amiga User Interface Style Guide * Sound support * Support for international keyboards * Locale support for English and French For those with Commodore's Installer program, a script is provided to install Ensemble Verbes. This script installs the program, an AmigaGuide help file and, optionally, language catalog files. Online help is unavailable unless you have AmigaGuide or MultiView on your system. (AmigaGuide 34.3 and Installer 1.25 can be found in Fred Fish's collection of Amiga software on disks 920 and 870 respectively; MultiView and Installer come with AmigaDOS Release 3 and higher. AmigaGuide and Installer are also distributed with the registered release.) Note that the help is limited to copyright and registering information in this freely-distributable release. Enjoy! Peter Janes January 1, 1994 (Note: I will provide a free registration to the first person who submits a catalog file for a language which is not already supported. Please 'contact me' before starting, as I may have already received a catalog for your language.)
