Begin3 Title: JTypist Version: 3.1c Entered-date: 22 Nov 1999 Description: JTypist is a Java version of the Typist typing tutor package. This version contains the same tutorials, drills, and practise sessions as the original, but presents them in a Java GUI instead of using Curses. The program maintains for you a set of statistics for each key on the keyboard, to help with figuring out which keys require additional practice, and handles three keyboard layouts - US, UK, and Dvorak. The package is supplied in .zip file format, to extend its usability to non-Unix platforms. Since it it written in Java, it can be run on any systems that offers a suitable Java runtime. JTypist requires an AWT-capable Java runtime; this may be standalone (for example, the Linux JDK), or running inside a Web browser (say, Netscape Communicator).
