Version 1.0 is written in Asic (a version of Basic) and runs as a dos program under MS Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows 98, or from the dos prompt. Version 1.2 was rewritten in C++ and has been tested to run under Windows XP. Big Daddy's Addition Drill works like flash cards, helping the user to develop speed and accuracy doing sums. The user can choose the maximum sum, from 4-99, of the numbers to be added. There are no fancy graphics. However, by using this program for just a few days, my son Dominick and daughter Esther Rose dramatically improved their speed and accuracy in calculating simple sums. Because this program is much faster than most commercial math programs, it provides a more effective speed drill.
Big Daddy's Addition Drill can be run from a floppy disk or your hard drive. All you have to do is run the program file, which is called addflsh.com for Version 1.0, and add12.exe for Version 1.2, by typing its path and filename on a run line in MS Windows. You can also double click the file or a shortcut to it to start it.
If you want to install the program to your hard drive, copy the zip file for the version you want by right clicking on the link, saving the link target to a folder on your hard drive, and extracting the program file and the accompanying text file.
