1 Insert your HOORAY for SPELLING CD-ROM into the CD-ROM
  drive.
2 Click on the Start button on the taskbar.
3 Select Run
4 Type  D:\SETUP  (where D is your CD-ROM drive).
5 Follow on-screen instructions, selecting Help where necessary.

Windows 3.x
1 Insert your HOORAY for SPELLING CD-ROM into the CD-ROM
  drive.
2 In Program Manager, select File.

Sound card notes

The first time you use HOORAY for SPELLING the Sound Setup utility
(SSETUP) will run automatically.  This configures the program to run with
your sound hardware/software.  Please note the following points
regarding sound card support:

1 Your card may be compatible with more than one of the listed cards. 
  The most powerfully compatible card will normally be selected
  automatically.

2 Should SSETUP fail to identify a suitable card, make your selection
  manually.  If you have a sound card which is not listed, select a
  compatible one.

3 Cards which support both digitized effects and synthesized music can
  sometimes cause a computer to "slow down" when both features are
  in simultaneous use.  If this is a problem, switch SOUND (in the
  Parent/Teacher Section) to either MUSIC only or FX ONLY.

			     Page 5

^PF

4 If you change your sound card you will have to use SSETUP again.  It
  can be accessed via File Manager in Windows or by typing  SSETUP
  at the CD-ROM drive DOS prompt.

5 Users of the Gravis Ultrasound card must load the Sound Blaster
  emulation utility (SBOS) before setting up HOORAY for SPELLING or
  running the program.

  NB:  If you experience any problems, please check Troubleshooting
  (page 14) for help.

About HOORAY for SPELLING

The story so far ...

Henrietta and Hopeless Henry have been married for only a very short
time, but already Henry is in trouble.  His natural nosiness took him on
an uninvited visit to the castle of that most wicked of witches Morgana
the Morbid.  Morgana simply hates inquisitive people!  So to put Henry
in his place, she cast a spell on him.  He is now a frantic, frolicking frog! 
Only Henrietta (with a little help from you) can save him from a life of
leaping, swimming and croaking.

To undo Morgana's evil work, find the five magic letters which make a
magic word.  Only then can you reverse the spell and return Henry to
his normal, handsome self.

But remember:  Morgana the Morbid will take advantage of any mistakes
you make.  You have been warned!



Features

HOORAY for SPELLING will help improve spelling, vocabulary and
language skills.  The program supplies randomly chosen words from up
to fifty word lists and provides varied and stimulating practice for a wide
range of abilities.  The program can be used just as easily for work in
French, German, Italian and Spanish.  It is also ideal for those studying
English as a second or foreign language.

A major feature is the unique Parent/Teacher Section.  This ensures the
most appropriate starting vocabulary for any user.  Results can be
recorded, viewed and printed.  To obtain satisfactory results from this
program, it is essential that you know how to use the Parent/Teacher
Section.  Use the mouse to access it or press <P> at the Control
Screen.  On-screen help is available at all times by selecting the mouth
button, by pressing <F1> or by right clicking on a button.

The program has five games:

*  Flash - word recognition and memory
*  Complete - insert missing vowels
*  Crack-It - a mind-bending code breaking game
*  Hang-Up - a superb version of Hangman
*  Jumbles - anagrams

Each game has three levels of difficulty (LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH). 
The nature and type of clues given to the student vary according to this
setting.  For example, when using Flash, the time during which the target
word is flashed on screen is short at the HIGH setting, and relatively long
at the LOW setting.  In Jumbles, the correct first letter of the word is
given on MEDIUM, nothing on HIGH.  In Crack-It, the target letters are
never more than one or two letters after that shown when on LOW.  On
HIGH, they can be as much as + or - 4.  In all cases, they are constantly
changing!

			     Page 7

^PF

But remember, a comprehensive, "intelligent" help system provides in-
game assistance whenever it is required; simply press <F2> for a clue. 

You can also set the program to focus exclusively on any one of the five
games.  This can be very helpful when a small number of specific words
are to be learned as quickly as possible.

An initial supply of over 2700 words in approximately 20 word lists may be
used as supplied or edited to suit individual requirements.  You can
choose from these lists, edit any or all of them, or create brand new lists
in English or other languages.  Special facilities exist for French, German,
Italian and Spanish.  No other program offers such flexibility coupled
with ease of use.

A comprehensive results monitoring facility may be switched on or off
to enable a student's progress to be recorded.  It can also be used to save
and check the work done by up to ten different students after each has
completed a set of exercises.  Results can be printed for future reference.

Although there is no time limit to complete each game, a clock on each
screen shows the actual time taken plus penalty time for clues requested
(if you have decided that penalty points should, indeed, be levied).  Do
not expect a student to tackle without help problems well beyond his or
her current ability.

Three  separate High Score Tables  (LOW, MEDIUM & HIGH) enable
other members of the family, friends or colleagues to join in the
challenge.  This undoubtedly adds to the fun and excitement.  With three
such tables, students compete only with their broad peer group.  Note: 
the lower the time score, the higher your position on a High Score Table.

With a sound card supported by LANDER SOFTWARE, you will not only
enjoy, but also benefit from a full range of sound effects, high quality
speech and music.  These additions enhance the program's effectiveness
enormously.  Indeed, research has shown that certain types of music can
strongly influence a student's learning process.  Every piece has been
carefully selected and arranged for maximum effect.
  
NB  On-screen help for both teachers and students is always available.
Select the mouth button (where available) or HELP with your mouse or
press <F1> and follow on-screen instructions.  Context relevant help is
also available by clicking on the required option with the right mouse button.Using the program for the first time

Getting started

1 After loading the program (see page 9), press <Space> or wait until
  the Control Screen appears.  To customise the program, go to 2.  To
  use the defaults set by us (see page 19), select START or press <S>
  again for the screen which outlines your task and asks for your name. 
  Now go to 4.

2 To customise the program, select Parent/Teacher Section at the
  Control Screen.  You can now view and alter a wide range of
  parameters.  Select HELP or press <F1> for detailed help at any
  stage.  If ACCESS is set to LIMITED, you will have to press <Ctrl-T>
  to enter the Parent/Teacher Section.

3 Return to the Control Screen by selecting BACK or pressing <Esc>,
  then select START or press <S> to go to the screen which outlines
  your task and asks for your name.

4 Type your name and press <Enter>.

5 Select a game with your mouse.

6 To answer each question, type the letters of the word followed by
  <Enter> (except in Hang-Up where you do not need to press
  <Enter>).  Don't worry if you get it wrong.  If you need help, press
  <F1>.  For a clue, press <F2>.  After three incorrect attempts, the
  correct answer is always given.  The next question appears
  automatically after each correct answer.

7 As you complete each game successfully, you will be rewarded with
  a magic letter.  After you have completed all five games, you will
  have one final anagram to solve.  Your session finishes when you
  complete this anagram correctly and Henry is restored from frog to
  man or when you select BACK or press <Esc> to return to the
  screen which asks for your name.

8 If you have scored highly enough, your name and score will appear
  on the appropriate High Score Table.  If not, you can start again with
  less difficult words or settings.  You may also want to reduce the
  penalty points levied when a clue is required.

9 If RECORD RESULTS was set to YES, you can inspect your work by
  selecting BACK or pressing <Esc> to return to the Control Screen
  and then entering the Parent/Teacher Section.  Select VIEW RESULTS
  or press V to view all.  Select PRINT or press <Ctrl-P> to print your
  results.  Select HELP or press <F1> for help at any time.

Notes:
1 You can return to the Control Screen at any time by repeatedly
  pressing <Esc> or selecting BACK (where available).
2 You can reset the High Score Table to zero values by selecting the
  RESET button on the High Score Table screen.

Quitting from the program

Press <Ctrl-Q> almost anywhere in the program.  After confirming your
decision (by typing <Y> or <N>), you will quit and exit HOORAY for
SPELLING.



National Curriculum

The National Curriculum applies to England & Wales only.  However,
Scotland, Ireland and many other countries have broadly similar
standards and requirements.

The program deals with several important aspects.  It will help with
reading, spelling, familiarity and understanding of a wide range of words. 
Although actual words are not specified or targeted by the National
Curriculum, HOORAY for SPELLING is so flexible that any parent or
teacher can easily create specific lists for their students' requirements. 
These can be very basic (for younger children), very advanced (for
mature students) or in a language other than English.

Indeed, the unique facilities available in this edition of the program to
create lists of French, German, Italian and Spanish words - complete with
accents - and the ability to reproduce them with ease when playing each
game, makes the program an exceptionally valuable teaching and
learning resource.  Set up in this way, it is particularly suitable for older
children and adults.

When the program is used with small groups (children and/or adults) it
becomes a focal point for animated debate.  This helps develop essential
social skills such as communication, understanding and co-operation. 
The use of reference books, especially dictionaries, encyclopedias and
thesaurus, should be encouraged.

Remember:  Off-computer activities can be just as important as use of the
program itself.

Useful hints and educational advice

Once you have become familiar with the many, powerful features of this
program, you can quickly and easily customise it for any student.  In the
meantime, the following should help you obtain as much benefit as
possible with the least possible effort.

1  When using the program with younger children, select or create
   simple word lists initially.  Do this in the Parent/Teacher Section (see
   page 7).

2  It is generally better not to penalise a child too severely when help is
   sought.  Set DIFFICULTY to LOW and CLUE PENALTY (penalty time)
   to zero or a suitably low figure.

3  HOORAY for SPELLING has only five main game screens (plus an
   end game).  This is deliberate as the excitement is derived (after
   initial enthusiasm) from the spelling/language tasks, NOT from pretty
   pictures!  Too many different game screens would, we believe,
   simply distract younger students especially.  If the fun doesn't seem
   to be there, change the word list being used, alter the level setting
   and/or increase the penalty points when asking for help.  Remember,
   languages other than English can also be easily used.  You'll be
   amazed at the difference such changes can make.

4  Practise word recognition, logic or anagrams by setting all five games
   to Flash, Crack-It or Jumbles respectively.

5  Improve typing skills by using the program with all five games set to
   Flash.  When practice is finished, print out Results to see accuracy of
   keystrokes.  Common errors (if any) will immediately be apparent and
   remedial action can be taken.

6  Use the three High Score Tables sensibly.  Less able and younger
   students should use the program (at least initially) with a LOW
   setting.  In this way, not only will more advanced students using
   MEDIUM or HIGH be challenged with tougher problems, but their
   results will appear on a different High Score Table from their less
   advanced colleagues.  This kind of peer group competition is
   generally preferable, particularly in an educational situation.

7  You may wish to encourage reference to a dictionary or thesaurus. 
   The program can be used by a skilful teacher or parent to help
   develop a love as well as an understanding of language.

8  Children often use HOORAY for SPELLING in small groups.  They
   may take turns at typing in each answer or simply give vociferous,
   intellectual support to colleagues.  You may be surprised to see how
   much enthusiasm and excitement is possible.  When groups are
   working in this way, instead of typing a student's name at the start of
   the program, use appropriate group names.

			     Page 12

^PF

9  Use the program to help learn and practise foreign words. The unique
   system we have developed allows you to enter and retrieve French,
   German, Italian and Spanish accented words with ease.  Select HELP
   (or <F1>) when a game is actually running and you will quickly see
   how to change languages and configure the function keys <F5> to
   <F10> to produce all the accented characters in the language you
   have selected.  You can, of course, also do this from the
   Parent/Teacher Section.

10 Create a special word list for the weekly (school) class word list. 
   Spelling test results will improve dramatically.

11 For dyslexic students, enter phonic word lists related to the Dyslexic
   Teaching Programme.  To increase effectiveness, encourage the
   student to read the word aloud where appropriate, say each letter
   aloud and listen to what he/she is saying, and then type the word.
   This multi-sensory approach (see, say, hear, write) has been found
   most effective when teaching dyslexics.

12 Print results at regular intervals.  This gives you accurate records for
   future reference.  But ensure your computer calendar is set correctly.

13 You can control what sounds (if any) you want the program to generate.
   Select SOUND in the Parent/Teacher Section and choose from ALL, FX ONLY
   (sound effects only), MUSIC ONLY and NONE (no sound effects, music or
   speech).

14 If you are using a sound card, you may find that the sound disturbs
   others.  Overcome this problem by using inexpensive earphones
   instead of loudspeakers.  Two students can still work together using
   two sets of earphones and a suitable adaptor.

15 When you complete a session, if you have scored highly enough,
   your name and score will appear on the appropriate High Score
   Table.  If not, you can start again with less difficult words or settings.
   You may also want to reduce the penalty points levied when help is
   sought.

16 Use the program in whatever way you find best.  Don't be afraid to
   experiment.  It's very flexible, lots of fun and really does work!

Troubleshooting

When a program fails to load or run properly, there can be many reasons
for this.  Before contacting our Customer Services Department, please
consider the following:

Problem
When running HOORAY for SPELLING in DOS, you type the correct
command to start the program, but get the message "bad command or
file name".
Solution
You are probably not on the correct drive.  Before typing  GO  to start
HOORAY for SPELLING, make sure you are at the CD-ROM drive DOS
prompt.  Alternatively, see page 5 to set the program up to run in
Windows.

Problem
SSETUP does not automatically detect your sound card.
Solution
SSETUP checks to see whether one of a number of sound cards is
installed.  It does this by attempting to initialise the card.  To do this it
has to make assumptions about the sound card settings (IRQ, I/O Address
and DMA channel).  The assumptions it makes are that the settings are
the factory defaults.  If the factory defaults have been changed, SSETUP
will not be able to detect the card.  To overcome this you will need to 
establish the actual settings of your card.  Then select your card (or a
compatible one) from the SSETUP menu and enter the correct settings in
the appropriate boxes.  The card should now test OK and the settings can
be saved to disk.

Problem
Your sound card has been set up correctly but no speech or music is
heard.
Solution 1
Check that all possible volume controls are at an audible setting.  There
are potentially four different controls that can affect the volume: volume
control on the speakers; volume control on the sound card; DOS mixer
utility; Windows mixer utility.  If the volume is set to zero on any of
these, no sound will be heard.
Solution 2
Sound is switched to OFF in the Parent/Teacher Section.  This can be
rectified by switching sound to ALL.  If this is not subsequently saved as
a default, when the program is reloaded it will again be silent.
Solution 3
Music and sound effects need memory to be played.  If your free
conventional memory is low, the first thing to be lost will be the sound. 
To rectify this problem, ensure you have at least the minimum specified
amount of free conventional RAM.
Solution 4
Check that the card has actually been set up correctly.   Start the
program with the /D option (see page 18) which will show whether the
music and speech drivers have been initialised successfully.  If they
haven't, run SSETUP again (see page 5).

			     Page 14

^PF

Problem
The program crashes during loading.
Solution 1
Such problems are normally due to a shortage of conventional RAM.  To
correct this problem, ensure you have at least the minimum specified
amount of free conventional RAM.
Solution 2
Some essential files could be missing.  This may have been caused by an
incomplete installation.  The installation program will not proceed if
there is not enough space to install all the files.  However DOS does not
always give an accurate figure for the amount of free space on a hard
disk.  This could mean that only some files are loaded.  To check if this
is the case, delete the program from the hard disk and reinstall.  Watch
for any error messages.  If a "disk full" error occurs, some free space on
the hard drive will have to be created by removing other software.

Problem
When running a program from Windows, you see a message saying that
the DMA buffer size is too small.
Solution
Increase the DMABUFFERSIZE to 64.  This will ensure that all DOS
programs that play digital samples will have sufficient buffer space to run
in Windows.  This is normally done automatically during SETUP.

Problem
When running the program through Windows the message "Warning,
program has violated system integrity ..." appears.
Solution
If one of the "errors that should never occur" (see page 18) happens
while Windows is running the above message will appear.  Treat this
message in the same way as you would an error of this type.

Problem
Strange characters appear on the paper when results are printed.
Solution
HOORAY for SPELLING supports the three most common printers. 
Check that the printer choice displayed in the Parent/Teacher section
matches your printer.  Even if your printer is not one of those listed, it
will almost certainly be able to emulate one.  Your printer manual should
list the emulations available and give instructions on how to switch to
the correct mode.

Problem
The Certificate of Merit does not print properly or at all.
Solution
Hooray for Spelling supports directly three of the most commmon printer
types.  Even if you do not have one of these printers, it is very likely
your printer will be compatible with one of them.  This is fine for most
text applications (like printing results), but problems can arise when
printing a graphic.  One solution is to use the Save feature on the
Certificate screen.  This will save a copy of your certificate on your hard
disk.  HOORAY for SPELLING will tell you the name of the file and
where it is stored (the file will be in the format 'PCX').  You can then
load this file into any graphics package (and most word processors) from
where you should be able to print it successfully.

Problem
The word list editor in HOORAY for SPELLING does not accept certain
words.
Solution
Words must be within specified limits.  With the general word lists,
words have to be between the minimum size (usually 2 letters) and the
maximum size (usually 12 letters).  With the magic word lists, all words
must be exactly five letters long.

Problem
When running HOORAY for SPELLING the word error appears
frequently.
Solution
The software selects words at random from the current word list.  If the
word list is empty the word error will be used to highlight the problem. 
Add words to the list to solve the problem.

Problem
When trying to load a new word list in HOORAY for SPELLING the user
is told that the maximum number of word lists has been exceeded.  How
can lists which are no longer needed be removed?
Solution
First change to the HOORAY for SPELLING working directory.  You can
then list all current word lists on disk by typing  DIR *.WRD /W.  To
remove an unwanted list, type DEL followed by the name of the list to
be removed, ie DEL OLDWORDS.WRD.  In Windows you can use the
File Manager to delete the appropriate files.  However, it is important
that you DO NOT delete the currently selected word list.


		   Error Codes

Normally when something goes wrong, the program will give you a
message telling you what has happened.  In some cases however, only
an error code/number will be given.  The most common are as follows:

2 File not found
The program cannot locate a file that it needs to be able to run.  Check
that the program has been installed properly (see The program crashes
during loading, Solution 2 above).

3 Path not found
This error should not normally occur but could surface on networks
configured in a certain way.  The best solution here would be to install
the program on the user's network station as opposed to the network
server.  But remember, you can only use HOORAY for SPELLING on a
network if you have the appropriate Lander multi-user licence.

4 Too many open files
This error will occur if the FILES=XX command is missing from your 
CONFIG.SYS file or the number of files (XX) is less than 20.  To rectify
this problem, add to/amend the CONFIG.SYS file.

5 File access denied
This error should not normally occur but could surface on networks
configured in a certain way.  The best solution here would be to install
the program on the user's network station as opposed to the network
server.  But remember, you can only use HOORAY for SPELLING on a
network if you have the appropriate Lander multi-user licence.  The only
other possible cause is if the attribute of the files has been changed to
READ only.  This error will then be generated when the program tries to
update the result file or high score table etc.

100 Disk read error
There is a problem with your hard drive.  Try to fix this using a disk
repair program such as Norton Disk Doctor, CHKDSK (available with all
versions of DOS) or Scandisk (available with DOS 6 and later).  When
the errors have been removed, the program should be reinstalled.

101 Disk write error
Your hard disk is full.  Space should be freed by removing unwanted
programs or purchasing a larger hard disk.

150 Disk is write-protected
Should not occur on a hard disk but some Virus protection software can
make DOS think that the hard disk is write-protected.  If this occurs,
switch off the relevant feature of the Virus software.

152 Drive not ready
Will normally occur if the CD is removed while the program is in use. 
Solution - don't do it!

154-158,161 Various disk-based errors
If any of these appear it would suggest that there is a hardware problem
with your hard disk or hard disk controller.

159,160 Various printer errors
These errors can appear if the printer is out of paper, off line, or not
switched on.

Any negative number
Negative error numbers usually appear due to a shortage of conventional
RAM.  If the problem persists when sufficient conventional RAM is
available, check that the program has been installed properly.

Errors that should not occur [1,6,12,15,16,17,102..106,151,153,
200-207]
If one of these error numbers appears, a "glitch" has occurred.  The error
should not appear again but if it does, it would suggest a hardware fault
inside the computer.

NB  When the program loads it will try automatically to detect
    various features available on your computer.  If the program
    does not find a feature which it requires, it will not run.  On
    certain computers however, the program may not be able to
    detect a given feature, even although it is present.  If the
    program does not work on your computer, try starting it in one
    of the ways detailed below:

    type GO /S then press <Enter> to bypass sound checking
    (program will be silent)
    type GO /T then press <Enter> to bypass music driver loading
    (program will play without music)
    type GO /U then press <Enter> to bypass speech driver
    loading (program will play without digital speech)
    type GO /V then press <Enter> to bypass video display
    checking
    type GO /P then press <Enter> to bypass processor checking
    type GO /X then press <Enter> to bypass memory checking
    type GO /M then press <Enter> to bypass mouse checking (program
    will play without mouse)

If after making these checks you are still having difficulty, please contact
our Customer Service Department.  You will receive a prompt and
helpful response.  CD-ROMs which have become corrupt for any reason
whatsoever within one month of purchase will be replaced free of
charge.

NB  This replacement service is only available to Registered Users,
so please make sure you complete and return your registration card if
you have not already done so.

Good practice ... some suggestions

Our software is supplied on disks which are extremely reliable.  In
certain circumstances however, they may be affected by static electricity
and stray magnetic fields.  Keep disks well away from magnets and
devices which contain them (such as electric motors and loudspeakers). 
When not in use, store disks in a protective box.  Do not leave them
lying about.
