WHAT IS IT?
===========

MathSheetGenerator is a simple utility for educators and parents to automatically create sheets of simple math exercises for elementary school children.

MathSheetGenerator is capable of generating math problems with two operands using any of the standard operators (add, subtract, multiply, divide). The number range for both operands as well as the result can be specified to allow the application to generate the exact type of exercises desired.


INSTALLATION
============
MathSheetGenerator comes without an installer and can be placed anywhere on the harddrive as long as the correct folder structure is maintained. I.e. for the Windows version the "MathSheetGenerator Libs" folder must reside in the same location as the "MathSheetGenerator.exe" executable.


HOW TO USE IT
=============

Please refer to the built-in Help.
