- Educatabase is a computer based teaching package. It allows multi choice
- tests to be created, with a variety of options. The created tests can then
- be either printed or a test can be taken on the computer. There are two main
- programs, Educater, lets you create and run tests and The Examiner only
- allows tests already created to be tested. The shareware version is not
- restricted in anyway, except for the reports printed will always have a
- header line saying 'Shareware'. This is removed in the registered version.
- If you find Educatabase useful and would like to continue using it you can
- register it for only $40 (N.Z.) by filling in the form at the end of this
- document.

- Installation
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Educatabase is best run from a hard disk however it is possible to use twin
- floppy drives. The installation procedure copies the files from the original
- disk to the disk where the program will be used, and sets up the colours and
- directories etc...
-
- If the Educatabase files are archived then it is simple to create a
- directory for the program, and a data directory, and extract the files into
- this directory, and place the .EDU files into the data directory. Then all
- that has to be done is the EDINST program needs to run to create a config
- file, you need to specify the location of the data files. The first time
- EDINST is run (with no CFG file) the default colours and settings are used.
- If the data directory is not specified then the current directory will be
- used.
