Vu-Type is suitable for use on a British Broadcasting Corporation Microcomputer Model B with cassette, and Operating System 0.1 or later.
Developed and published in association with Pitman Books Ltd, Vu-Type is a powerful and versatile typing tutor that is designed to enable you to acquire or enhance typing and keyboarding skills. It therefore promotes efficiency in typing program listings and data into your microcomputer.
Vu-Type's teaching techniques are friendly and advanced.
Vu-Type allows you to choose your own screen colour combinations, and also draws the keyboard on the screen in two different modes. It uses the brilliant graphics of the BBC Microcomputer to the full, offering you features such as drawing the keys in solid or outline and pointing different types of keys in different colours.
The sound options on Vu-Type comprise quiet key click operations, sound on-error, and individual musical tones for all keys.
The Vu-Type User Guide is thorough, step by step booklet that tells you how to get started, how to explore Vu-Type and, finally, gives you useful hints and a suggested learning plan. Also included are some of the beautiful screen colour combinations you can use in Vu-Type.
The following utilities are also available to allow you to edit the supplied screens of this game:
