" Quiz Master Construction Set PC"," "," ","REQUIREMENTS:"," ","IBM PC/XT/AT or compatibles or any of the IBM PS2 line of","computers."," ","Quiz Master Construction Set PC will run on any color or","monochrome monitor. The program is set to 80 screen","columns."," ","LOADING:"," ","The program is NOT copy protected so if you have a hard","disk, you may create a directory and copy the disk. Example","would be: 'MD\QM;' 'CD\QM;' 'Copy A:*.* C:'"," ","You should first format a blank disk and copy your original","program disk and then store it in a safe place, using your","back-up as your working disk."," ","If you are familiar with the DOS commands, you may format a","system disk, copy over the program 'QUIZ.EXE' and the data","file 'GEO.' You could then create an AUTOEXEC.BAT","file to automatically load the Quiz Master Construction Set","PC program when you turn on your computer."," ","If you do not create the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, then when you","are ready, if your program disk is in your A drive, type in","A:QUIZ and the program will load itself."," ","MAIN SCREEN:",
" ","The Main Screen consists of five options. You may type in","'O' to play the game, or 'C' to create a new data base or","add to an existing data base, or 'P' to print your quiz. You", "may view your Disk Directory by typing a 'D.' This will","allow you to view the names of your data files. If you have","the capabilities to Screen Print, then do so. Otherwise,","write down the names of your files so that when you come to","that point in the program when you are requested to type in","the name, you will have it ready. To exit the program, type","in a 'Q.'"," ","ON-SCREEN TESTING:"," ","If you wish to test on-screen, type in the 'O.'"," ","You will next be given the opportunity to choose whether or","not you wish to see the correct answer highlighted if you","select the incorrect one. Press the 'Y' key if you want to","see the correct answer. Press 'N' to turn this option off.","If you have selected to see the correct answer highlighted,","when you choose an incorrect one, the corresponding number","will alternately flash on and off to indicate that this is","the correct answer."," ","You will then be requested to type in a data file name to","load. If you wish to view the Disk Directory, type in the","word 'DIR' and press 'ENTER'. If you wish to use the","existing sample file, and you are just using the program","disk as it came, you would type in 'A:GEO.'"," ","The sample data file would then load and your first","question, chosen at random from the data file would show on","the screen."," ","Read the question and then type in the correct number","corresponding with the answer. If you have chosen",
"correctly, the 'SCORE' would respond by updating the 'RIGHT'","answer. If you had chosen incorrectly, the 'WRONG' answer","number would be updated. In this way, you may keep a","running tally of your choices."," ","To continue to the next question, type in a 'C.' At any","time, after you have answered the question, you may","alternately select the 'E' and the Main Screen will appear."," ","CREATE SCREEN:"," ","NOTE: DOUBLE QUOTE MARKS will corrupt the file, therefore","the program converts double quote marks to single quote marks."," ","From this screen, you have three choices: You may choose","'C' to either create a new quiz or add to an existing quiz.","If you choose 'E' you may only edit an existing quiz. You","may also select 'Q' and be sent back to the Main Menu."," ","If you choose 'C' then you will be asked to type in the name",
"of the quiz. Use either the drive 'A:' or 'B:' to precede","the name of the quiz. You are only allowed up to eight","characters for the file name. The sample 'A:GEO' on the","program disk shows how this is done."," ","In all cases, you will be given the opportunity to view the","Disk Directory by typing in the word 'DIR' and then pressing","'ENTER.'"," ","After you type in the file name of the quiz, you will be","prompted to choose if it is an existing quiz (OLD) of a new","quiz (NEW). If the quiz already exists on the disk, type in","an 'O.' If it is a new quiz, type in a 'N.'"," ","If you are creating a new quiz, you 'Create/Edit Screen'","will be brought up and you will be positioned to begin",
"typing in you first question. You have 180 characters for","you question, divided into 60 characters for each line (A),","(B) and (C). Each answer has up to 120 characters. Lastly, type","in the correct number that corresponds to the answer."," ","If you are adding to an existing quiz, the data file will",
"load and you will be positioned at the next available","question."," ","In all cases, the 'Record Number' will indicate how many","questions you have in the data file. There is a maximum of","200 per file."," ","To continue on to the next question (after you have reviewed","your work and can see no typing errors, etc.), type in a","'C'. If you notice anything amiss, type in an 'E' and you",
"will be positioned again at the first part of the question.","You must type in every line again as it should be for that","part to be saved correctly.",
" ","When you are finished, type in 'S' and your work will be","written to the disk."," ","EDIT SCREEN:"," ","When you choose this option, you will be asked to type in","the file name of your existing quiz."," ","If you have forgotten the name of your quiz, just type in","the word 'DIR' and then press 'ENTER.' You will be allowed","to view what is on your disk. Either Print Screen what is",
"on the screen, or write down the name(s) of your data files."," ","After it is loaded, you will be presented with your first","quiz on the screen."," ","You may scroll forward or backward through your quiz and","make as many changes as you wish, or if you want to delete","one of the question, you may do so.","","To edit one of the question, type in an 'E' and again, you","must type in the complete question and answers over again."," ","To delete a question, type in a 'D'. The way the program","works, is that the correct answer will be replaced by an","'X'. The program knows that when it writes it back out to","disk, it will ignore all those questions with an 'X' in that","position. So, if you choose to delete a question and then","change your mind, simply scroll forward or backward until","you find the question and 'un-delete' it by typing in the",
"correct number corresponding to the answer."," ","When you are finished, type in 'S' and your quiz will be","saved to disk."," ","PRINT SCREEN:"," ","You have five choices: You can choose 'A' to print your","entire data file sequentially. Or, you can choose 'R' to","print your entire data file randomly. If you only want a","selected number sequentially, choose the 'S' option. And","finally, if you want a selected number to print randomly,","choose the 'L' from the menu.",
" ","In all cases, you will be asked for the data file name to be","read from the disk."," ","In the cases where you want only a selected number, you will",
"be prompted to input the number."," ","In all cases, you will be asked to type in the title of your","quiz. This will appear at the top of each page printed."," ","The final Print option is to print the Key of the Quiz. Press", "the letter 'K' to do this."," ","REGISTRATION"," ","To register, please send $10.00 to EZuse Software at the address below.","A SITE LICENSE registration fee for unlimited use on all computers","is $50.00.
