FLASH.EXE:  flash card computer program
     This program displays random words, numbers, letters, or phrases 
on the screen.  The student, child, or other person can then be asked 
to read or pronounce the displayed information.  The information is 
selected from a collection of dictionary files, which can be edited, 
added to, or deleted as the teacher desires.  Modified files may not be 
redistributed in this package.  Only the files described in the files 
list below may be distributed in this package.

IMPORTANT:
     Run the INSTALL.EXE program provided with this package before 
attempting to run FLASH.EXE.  FLASH will run on monochrome or VGA 
monitors.  If the results are not what you expected, remove this
package from your computer and do not use it.  Send any comments,
contributions, or constructive criticisms to:

A contribution of $5.00 is recommended for each copy of FLASH.EXE that
is run for more than an hour (by then, the usefulness of this package
should have proven or disproved itself).  Contributions will encourage
me to further develop this and other packages.  Comments are welcome, 
with or without contributions.

WARNING:
     Try these programs at your own risk!  Considerable effort
     has been put into writing these programs to keep them from
     wildly rampaging through your computer, deleting and damaging
     everything reachable, but sometimes things go wrong anyway.

     damaged files, hardware failures, any type of physical
     disability or impairment which might be associated with computer
     operation, marital or other personal problems, or any other
     problems or situations which might be the result of operating
     this or any other computer software.  RUN THESE COMPUTER
