                                  Description


Illinois Driver's Tutor is a tutor program for the Illinois Driver's License. 
You can take entire question pools in straight or random order. It Drills you
on missed questions. It creates a sample test. Includes Signs graphics.

Computers have a reputation for speeding things up. This includes studying for 
Illinois Driver's License. Illinois Driver's Tutor 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.

Illinois Driver's 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 study 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.

                             Font Capabilities

I have added font capabilites to Illlinois Driver's Tutor. This means if you
don't like the font used in Illinois Driver's 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.


                                Sound

This is for people who don't want sound(Why;who knows?) AND have forgotten to
set the environmental varable "TUTORSOUND=OFF" OR forgot to set the
commandline option to "SOUND OFF".

If you want the sound off on the title or ending page then press the "END KEY"
before the sound comes up. When you press the "END KEY" to kill the sound on
the titlepage it kills the sound on the ending page too. When the sound comes
up you can press "Any Key" to kill it. While in the titlepage, pressing any
key while the sound is playing also kills the sound on the ending page too.

See Installation to see how to set the sound off.


                            MSDOS Installation


Make "C:\DriveLic" directory that you want to install Illinois Driver's Tutor
to.

MD "C:\DriveLic"

Unzip Illinois Driver's Tutor to the directory.

And goto to the temporary directory.

CD "C:\DriveLic"

To Run type "TUTOR" or "TUTOR SOUND OFF" {Turns OFF Sound in the Title Page}

Then the program should install. And the program should run right away.

If the program crashes then try again by typing.

Another way to set the sound to off is to set the environmental varable
TUTORSOUND. "SET TUTORSOUND=OFF"

TUTOR VGA

This uses vga mode only.

There are two ways to use different fonts with Illinois Driver's 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.


                           Windows 95 Installation



Unzip Illinois Driver's Tutor to C:\DriveLic

Open Windiows Explorer

Click on C:\DriveLic

Double Click on "WININSTAL.BAT Or Drag the "Illinois Driver's Tutor" Shortcut to
the DeskTop.

Click on Explore, Click on StartMenu,Click on Programs, RIGHT Click on
"Illinois Driver's Tutor" SHORTCUT, Click on Properties,Click on Program, Type
on Command Line after "TUTOR.EXE" " SOUND OFF",Click on OK.}

If You want to use a font then follow the advice in msdos to type after
Tutor.exe in the shortcut properies program setion.


IF the program crashes THEN

[1.] RIGHT click on Start, Click on Explore, Click on StartMenu,Click on Programs,
RIGHT Click on "Illinois Driver's Tutor" SHORTCUT, Click on Properties,

This will display the tilte page in vga instead of Super Vga mode.

[2.] There is a remote chance that you virus detector might complain about the
tutor program directly calling the wavplay.exe program.

Do the about but substitue SHELL instead of VGA
