 Hey Carl ...
 I've seen the Accelerated Reader program in use.  It is a highly
 motivating program.  Kids who were good readers got better and the
 not so good ones also demonstrated increases in reading for
 comprehension.  Is this in use at your school?
 ==================
 I have an Accelerated Reader Demo for DOS that I'll be glad to file
 attach and send along to anyone who wants to take a look at it.
 Three files totaling about 282K, the prg, install.bat and a
 remove.bat
