   Dunno what is Mavis Beacon, but I know of two programs which are
   available: they are named "letters" and "ttype".  Letters is a game
   where words (/usr/words/dict) fall down the screen.

   Archie for 'em.

"letters" was posted to alt.sources a few months ago, so should be in the
archives for that group.

There is another tutorial program called "typist".  Get the file
"typist.tar.Z" on cs.rochester.edu in /pub.
