KitQC2- How to download and install the software and learning files

KitQC2 has 6 sections and 4,500 little sound files. You can download it in modules

(The sound files below are acceptable for learning. Even so, we have started remastering them.
Remastering improves the quality of the sound. Check back later.)

There is no installation program (like setup.exe or install.exe).

To remove/uninstall KitQC2, simply delete the files and folders.

If you wish to give copies of the program to people, just copy the folder
that you will create with all of the files in it.

The short form :
- download the all the stuff you need
- unzip the files and
- put all of the files in one folder.

How to update to version 2.6 :
1. Rename your existing KitQC2 folder to KitQC2X
2. Download and install the program and the documentation
3. Download and install the program modules that you need (Alphabet, etc)

On Windows computers, all you need to do to unzip a file is:
1) right-click on the file
2) choose Extract All... from the menu
3) follow the instructions

You can put the folder anywhere and call it anything you want.
We would suggest calling the folder KitQC2.

Example using only the learning files for the French alphabet :
After you
1) download The Program, The Documentation, and The French Alphabet Learning Files
2) unzip all the files and
3) move all of the files into one folder. Your folder will now have the following files in it :

k2_progdocalpha1
