This program is shareware. The concept of shareware is this:  use it for a
while, and if you like it, then you pay a small amount for it. This saves
us marketing, and you money. You won't be paying advertisers or publishers,
just a small amount to the people who created this program.

MacEmatics is a tiered learning math tool. Simply put, this program has
many levels of learning and difficulty. At any time you can change the
upper limits for a test set by typing COMMAND - L. This will bring up a
dialog box asking you to set the following:

¥  Highest number you want to see for the Addition/Subtraction test with 
    the current limit shown as a default number. If you only wish to change
    the multiplication/division test limit, simply press the return key
    and type a new number in the next dialog box.
¥  Highest number you want to see for the Multiplication/Division test. 
    The current limit for this test is displayed. For levels 4 and 5, the 
    division limit is higher to allow a wider variety of numbers (this
    way there are no remainders and more than 3 or so possible answers).
    Whatever you put here will be the limit for all multiplication and
    division tests until you "Reset Test" or change the limits.
¥  New feature for this version: Also, in this window, you can select 
    how text is formatted in the answer box. For instance, let us imagine 
    that you wanted the numbers to follow the "tens" style. We normally look
    at the last numbers, add/subtract them and put the number in the "ones"
    column. Then you add the numbers in the "tens" column, etc. This would
    yield a result of 12345 turning into 54321 as you type it. (assuming
    54321 was the answer, you would type 1 because it is the answer for
    the "ones" column, 2 because it was the answer for the "tens" column,
    etcetera. This is the button labeled "Left". If you press "Right", then
    you go back to the standard way of having text entered from the left
    to the right. There is a "Help" button to remind you which one goes where.

If you accidently set something wrong, just click on "Reset Test" in the
main window. Simple!, everything else is handled automatically! If you have
any questions or requests, please mail them to the addresses below.

The preset limits for each level is listed in the table below:

Level   Addition    Subtraction     Multiplication          Division
   1      20           20                  5                    5
   2     100          100                 10                   10
   3    9999         9999                 15                   30
   4   55555        55555                 20                   60
   5   99999        99999                 25                  100
