Please forgive me if this is not the right place to post this...
I am looking for a good typing tutor program for an IBM PC/AT.  I have
seen four in shops around here: Type, Typist, Typing Instructor Encore,
and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.  Has anyone used any of these?  
This is for a professor who would be using a fair amount of symbols, so
a reasonable amount of non-alphanumeric typing would be essential.

If anyone out there knows anything about these or other typing tutors, 
I would be grateful if you could send me information by MAIL.  If anyone
else is interested in a summary, mail me and I will reply or post a
summary.
		Thanks.
