                              DESCRIPTION
=============================================================================

Ask any professional educator today, and she or he will tell you that the 
most effective way to learn any material is to memorize it. Nerd Gerl 
Software's Drill Bits can help you do just that. With over 75 subjects to 
choose from, you can easily remember any fact about any topic - from 
elementary math and basic grammar to in-depth atom structures and cultural 
anthropology!

Nerd Gerl Software's Drill Bits are tiny subject-segmented educational 
programs that assist the learning process through repetitive Q&A. Each Drill
Bit contains:

          (1) a healthy dose of questions anyone should be 
              able to correctly answer about a single subject.

          (2) an instant grading system, progress bar, and 
              visual "Grade-O-Meter." 

          (3) suggestions for learning improvement.

Unlike traditional "flash-card" type programs, the data in each Drill Bit is
ALREADY INCLUDED. You don't need to spend time thinking of questions to ask
and drumming up the answers - They're already there!

The program price and size of each Drill Bit is just as small as you would 
expect from it's name. And every single one is operable on ANY IMB 
compatible computer. That includes DOS, WIN 3.1, WIN 95, WIN NT, WIN 98, 
WIN 2000, and OS/2 systems. Their small size and simplicity save space and 
resources on your system and your pocketbook!


=============================================================================
                                   USAGE
=============================================================================

Students can use Drill Bits to improve grades, prepare for a test, challenge 
each other, or simply fill the time.

Teachers can use Drill Bits as a reinforcement tool or as a final exam.

Do you know someone who thinks he or she knows EVERYTHING? Give 'em a Drill 
Bit to prove *ahem* - otherwise!

The uses of Nerd Gerl Software's Drill Bits are as varied as their multiple 
subjects. Download a copy today and see for yourself - There are over 75 to

                                 OPERATION
=============================================================================

Nerd Gerl Software's Drill Bits are extremely easy to use. Simply unzip them
into it's own directory (no complicated setup program) and click the 
"Dbcase.exe" file to start.

To stop using a Drill Bit - press the ESC key before answering a question. 
To continue through the program - press the ENTER key after typing in an 
answer to a question, and press the SPACE bar to answer a new question.

When answering a question - be careful to type your response exactly as 
the way you want it to appear. You don't need to worry about capitalization 
- but spelling and punctuation counts!

When all the questions have been answered, the program will present a 
recommendation. If you are using this program in an educational setting - 
call your teacher over to your workstation so that he or she can record your
grade. Press the space key to exit.

You can repeat the drill as many times as you wish just by re-starting it.

To un-install the Drill Bits program, delete the directory it was unzipped 
in.
