Kings And Queens provides the user with a list of names and dates of the monarchs of England. An option menu displayed at the beginning includes revision of Monarchs, a print out and a test on the dates and names.

If the first option is chosen, a list of monarchs together with dates appears on screen. Pressing C enables the user to see more and although pleasantly displayed, this could have been done just as easily in a book. Also without going back to the option it was impossible to look back at the other screens.

When I attempted to use the print out option, my daisywheel and dot matrix printer only succeeded in producing part of the list and I would advise that you check with the manufacturers that you will be able use your printer with this program. Perhaps Chestnut Software could list the printers that are compatible with the software in the documentation.

The tests in the final options merely provide questions on the name of a certain monarch or the dates of their reign.

I felt that the whole program was rather dull and unexciting compared to other similar programs and it soon becomes boring. These were several references in the documentation as to the way in which answers should be entered and there did appear to be a number of snags that still needed to be ironed out in the programming.
