Begin3 Title: Typist Version: 2.2a Entered-date: 23 Apr 1999 Description: Typist is a typing tutor package built using Curses. The package contains a number of tutorials, drills, and practise sessions to help with mastering touch typing on the standard computer keyboard. The accent is on the US keyboard layout, but the lessons may also be useful with other layouts. A Dvorak lesson set is included. Version 2.2 is an extended and improved version of the original 'typist' program, found floating free on the net. Users interested in this program are also encouraged to investigate the 'JTypist' package, which contains the same lessons and tutorials, presented using a Java AWT graphical interface, and with improved timing statistics.
