Welcome to our second installment of the GeoTutor series.  This
month we present South America for your geographic perusal.

Geotutor is designed not only to teach the location of countries
but to teach a little bit about them as well.  In addition to a
paragraph or two about each country, the following information is
included in GeoTutor:

Official Name
Official Languages
Population
Type of Government
Capital
Name Of Monetary Unit
Description and Picture of Flag
National Anthem,  Holiday,  Motto
Natural Resources, Exports,  Imports
Location,  Area,  Highest Point,  and Lowest Point

We also added a feature to test your knowledge of this month's
geographic area.  You may choose between five different quizzes
to see how much geographic information you've retained.

The GeoTutor uses a special mouse/keyboard interface that's very
easy to use.  Of course we've provided complete on-line help
just in case.  Press F1 at any point in the program to get help.


^SOUTSIDE ON DISK MONTHLY^S

To run ^BGeoTutor^B outside On Disk Monthly, invoke the batch
file ^BGEO.BAT^B in any of the following ways:

^BGEO^B - Invoke GeoTutor normally.

^BGEO /m^B - Invoke GeoTutor in monochrome mode.

^BGEO /?^B - Invoke a pick-list of available video modes to
choose from, then run GeoTutor in that mode.

These parameters may be issued in any order and in any
combination.

Use the /m parameter to force Geotutor to use "safe" monochrome
colors even if it detects a color card.  This will make it much
easier to read the screen if you are using a laptop or other
machine that has a color graphics card with a monochrome display.

When you issue the /?  parameter, you will see an initial
configuration screen that lets you choose the graphics adaptor,
or input device that you are going to use.  GeoTutor recognizes
all the popular graphics adaptors, including Hercules Monochrome,
CGA,  EGA,  and VGA.  On most systems,  the program will
correctly detect the video hardware and run without any problem.

Press ENTER from the opening screen to select the default adaptor
and mode, but if the graphics don't appear to function on your
system or you wish to experiment with other modes supported by
your system, press "D" from the opening screen to get to a pick-
list of other graphics adaptors and modes.  Similarly, there is a
menu to choose what kind of mouse you have (if any).  Press "I"
to get to this menu.  A mouse is not required to run this
program, but it certainly makes things easier.

If you get a message telling you that the graphics driver is
already resident, try removing any TSR's from your system.  The
graphics driver used by Geotutor can be installed as a TSR and
therefore checks to see if it is already resident before running
Geotutor.  Sometimes it may mistake another TSR for a copy of
itself.
