W E L C O M E to ANASOFT TEST FILES FOR ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY Version 2.0 1994 The test files were written for teachers and students of nursing, allied health, pre-med, physical therapy, massage therapy, and related professional programs. The author is a professor of biology, and has taught anatomy and physiology, at a community college in a suburb of Washington, D.C., for the past 25 years. This program is Shareware. If, after 10 days, you find this program useful, please register by sending $20, plus your name and address to: Patrick J. Flynn 12804 Kendale Lane Bowie, MD 20715-3936 This computer aided instruction examination program uses Quizzer, developed at the Air Force Academy in 1988. Quizzer is not for sale; it is provided only as a means to run the data files written by the author. Each data file is a set of 25 to 75 multiple choice questions on 52 different topics of human anatomy and physiology. When a question is answered correctly, an explanatory remark is given followed by additional instruction on that topic. If the question is incorrect, comments are provided only if appropriate. Questions are randomized and items answered incorrectly are repeated more often. A continuous score appears at the top of each page. Files are categorized by organ system. A complete list of files is shown below.

To print a data file, go to DOS, type "quizprnt filename.ext". For example, "quizprnt skel-pt1.qzr". Questions, answers and explanations are given. TO INSTALL ANASOFT, do the following: 1. type INSTALL (This will copy the uncompressed files to the Anasoft directory, and copy the data files to their new subdirectories: 5a, 5b, 6a, and 6b). TO RUN ANASOFT from your hard drive, do the following: 1. Turn on the computer 2. At the C:\> prompt, type "cd anasoft" (note: without the quotes) 3. At the c:\anasoft> prompt, type "anasoft" a. When the menu of choices is provided, note the area of interest. 4. Type your selection . A second set of file titles with brief descriptions will appear. 5. Choose the letter of the particular file to run. Once started, the programs are self explanatory. 6. If you wish to quit before the end of the test, hit the ESC key, but only AFTER a guess at the answer is made. Hitting ESC too early will cause a beep with no effect. So hit the ESC key after an answer is submitted. If you have any questions or suggestions, kindly write me at the above address. Thank you.
