       PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM:

MATH BREAK 4.0 virtually TRANSFORMS almost any other Windows game
or program into educational software.

When activated by parents, MATH BREAK starts a timer and runs
in the background. While the timer is counting down, kids may
play any of their games or programs as they normally would.

When the timer expires, MATH BREAK minimizes their game and
places a math problem(s) on the screen. To return to their game,
they must answer the problem(s) correctly!

MATH BREAK is password protected and can only be started or shut
off by the parent. Parents have control over math problem difficulty,
number of problems to present each time, type of math problems to
present (Addition, Subtraction, Mult, Div OR ALL OF THE ABOVE) and
timer length.

Additionally, after the parent starts MATH BREAK and chooses one
other program for their kids to have access to (like one of their
favorite games) MATH BREAK locks the Windows desktop, disables
ctrl-alt-del, and disables the Window's START button, keeping kids
from either closing down MATH BREAK or getting into any of the
Parent's other computer files or programs! 

For Win95/98
