                      CREATE A QUIZ

                       Version 1.3


Description:

     CREATE A  QUIZ is  a simple  yet comprehensive  program
that  can  be  used  to  create and take multiple-choice and
fill-in-the-blank quizzes.   This one  program can  be  used
by both  the teacher  and student.  Teachers can  create on-
screen quizzes that can be   used by  students,  or   create
hardcopy  quizzes if a printer is available.


Special features:

     A) Pop-up menus, mouse support, full line text  editing
capabilities make using CREATE A QUIZ simple and fun.

     B)   Both   multiple-choice   and   fill-in-the   blank
questions can be used in the same quiz.

     C)  Quizzes  and/or  questions  can  be  printed out in
several  formats  to  meet  the  needs  of  both teacher and
student.  The solutions  to each question can  be suppressed
or displayed on  a printout.   Students can receive  an echo
printout of each  question they take  on- screen.   Teachers
can review their database  of questions by printing  out all
the  questions  or  by  defining  a  range  (from # to #) to
print.

     D) Several command line instructions allow the  program
to  be  "fine-tuned"  by  a  teacher  to meet the needs of a
student.   These  command  line  instructions  can  force  a
student to answer  "x" number of  questions before they  are
permitted to exit the program.  Or the teacher can set up  a
time  limit  for  the  student  where  after  "x"  number of
minutes have elapsed the program will quit.

     E) Progress  charts are  kept for  each quiz  that will
record  the  best  10  students'  quiz  results.  This is an
excellent  way  for  a  teacher  to  track the progress of a
student.  A separate  progress chart is maintained  for each
quiz created.

     F) Up to  9 students can  participate in the  same quiz
at a time.  Great for contests!

     G) Display ASCII text files prior to each question.   A
full screen display of a pre-defined ASCII text file can  be
displayed and scrolled prior  to a question, and  then after
the user  has read  the text  file, they  will be confronted
with a question dealing with that text.

     H) Businesses and organizations can use a command  line
instruction that will turn CREATE A QUIZ into a  stand-alone
display for customers or prospects.   This can make a  great
advertising tool and  counter display, testing  a prospect's
knowledge of  your product.   The program  will even  prompt
each user for  his name, address  and phone number  that can
be retrieved later for follow- ups.

     I)  The  quizzes  that  are  created  can  be  password
protected and encrypted to prevent students from altering  a
teacher's questions.


Requirements:

     No  special   requirements  are   necessary  for   most
computers.   A DOS  version of  3.0 or  higher is  necessary
(although  it  is  possible  that  some  2.x  versions  will
work,  but  not  guaranteed).   The  program  can be used on
both  monochrome  and  color  monitors.   A  printer  is the
only option  that is  required IF  you wish  to create  quiz
printouts.


To start:

     To start the  program type --->  QUIZ    then press the
[ENTER] or  [RETURN] key  at the  DOS prompt.   The  program
will  load  itself  into   memory  in  seconds.   After   an
opening screen or two, a Main Menu will appear.


Menus:

     Selections from the Main Menu (or any menu) can be made
by   moving the  highlighted bar  to the  selection of  your
choice,  then   pressing  the   [ENTER]  or   [RETURN]  key.
Selections also  can be  made by  pressing the corresponding
first  letter  for  each  option  in  the menu list.  If you
press the [ESC] key instead,  the user will be taken  to the
previous menu (if any).


To create a quiz:

     From the Main  Menu the user  can create a  NEW quiz by
choosing the "Create a new  quiz" selection.  The user  will
then be prompted for  a filename, under which  all questions
will  be  stored  to   disk.   The  filename  entered   will
automatically receive  the extension  ".QZ".   Do NOT  enter
the  ".QZ"  extension!   Pressing  the  [ESC]  key  at  this
filename prompt will take the user back to the Main Menu.

     After a new  filename has been  entered, the user  must
give the  quiz a  title and  description, and  may elect  to
enter their name as the quiz creator.

     Once this preliminary information has been entered  the
user will be  prompted to enter  a question.   Questions can
be  up  to  four  lines  in  length.   You can move from one
question line to  another by using  the cursor control  keys
(the keys  with the  up and  down arrows),  or by  using the
[ENTER] key.

     To move to the  answer field, press the  [F10] function
key.   This key  will cause  the input  prompt to  leave the
question field, allowing the user to enter possible  answers
to the  previous question.   Should the  user need  to  jump
back to the previous question to make any necessary  changes
then  press  the  [F9]  function  key.   Pressing  the [F10]
function  key  from  the  answer  field  will  instruct  the
program to continue to the next step (if any).


Multiple choice questions:

     The  multiple  choice  question  format  is the default
format  when  you  enter  questions.   Each  multiple choice
question can  have up  to 5  possible answer  choices and as
few  as  2.   After  entering  the  desired number of answer
choices, the quiz creator must verify which of the  possible
answers is in  fact the correct  answer.  This  verification
step will  display the  question and  possible answers  in a
play  screen.   After  verifying  the  correct solution, the
user can enter a reference note. Such notes will be display-
ed after a student takes the quiz at play time.


Fill-in-the-blank questions:

     Fill-in-the-blank questions are different from multiple
choice  questions  in that only  one possible answer  can be
entered.   The  way  CREATE  A  QUIZ distinguishes between a
multiple choice  question and  a fill-in-the-blank  question
is that the  latter has an  UNDERSCORE "_" character  (ASCII
95) somewhere  in the  question.   This underscore character
is NOT  to be  confused with  a "dash"  or "hyphen".   If an
underscore character exists  ANYWHERE in the  question, then
that  question  automatically  becomes  a  fill-in-the-blank
question, and will as a  result accept only one answer  when
the time comes  to input an  answer when creating  the quiz.
You can enter  one "_" underscore  by itself or  a string of
underscores (e.g., "______").  The result is the same -  one
word will be prompted for during the quiz.

     The  following  are  acceptable  in creating a fill-in-
the-blank question:

     George _ was the first president of the United
States.

     George Washington was the first _____ of the United
States.

     Name the first president of the United States?: __

     Keep  in  mind  the   difference  in  formats   between
multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions:

     "DECEMBER 25 IS:"    This will result in a multiple-
                          choice question.

     "DECEMBER 25 IS _"   This will result in a fill-in-
                          the-blank question.

     You  can  enter  alternate  or  multiple  answers   for
fill-in-the-blank  questions  by  separating each acceptable
answer with a  comma ",".   For instance, if  a fill-in-the-
blank question prompts:  "How  much is 50 cents added  to 50
cents? _", the quiz creator can anticipate several  possible
answers by entering "$1, $1.00,  1 buck, 4 quarters" in  the
answer field.   Note that  each solution  is separated  by a
comma ",".  When a student in confronted with this  question
on the screen during  an interactive quiz, the  student will
receive a  "correct" response  if they  enter any  of the  4
answers:

         $1       $1.00      1 buck      4 quarters


References (optional):

     If you would like to have a reference note appear after
each question  during an  interactive on-screen  test, enter
your notes at the "Reference:" prompt line.

     If you  (the teacher)  would like  to display  an ASCII
text file PRIOR TO  A SPECIFIC QUESTION during  an on-screen
quiz, then  enter a  filename (and  path  if  needed) with a
pair of {} brackets.  For instance, {MY_TEST.ASC} is  valid,
as is  {DATA\HISTORY.92}.   If you  would like  to have  the
ASCII text display start at a particular line number,  enter
a comma followed  by the line  number.  For  example, if you
wish to have the text  file {MY_TEST.ASC} pop-up on line  8,
enter {MY_TEST.ASC,8}.  We  have included a fine  example of
this extended reference usage in  a quiz file on this  disk.
Retrieve the file "COMMANDS.QZ" and take a good look at  it.
Better yet, try taking this quiz to understand what this  is
all about!

Pointers (optional):

     Some teachers  may wish  to force  a specific  question
based upon the student's on-screen response with the use  of
"pointers" or "directives".   Here's an example.   Let's say
that you  have a  TRUEFALS.QZ file  with 25  true and  false
questions you wish a student to use on a test.  You wish  to
present  the  questions  in  sequential  manner, starting at
question number 1.   From the command  line (or batch  file)
you start the proram -->  QUIZ TRUEFALS.QZ STARTAT=1

     The first  question the  student is  presented with  is
let's say:

    ┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
    │ Q: 5 quarts is equivalent to 1 gallon? │
    └────────────────────────────────────────┘
    ┌──────────┐
    │ True     │    <-- Possible answers
    │ False    │        available to student
    └──────────┘

     If  you  wish  to  have  the  student's  answer to this
question  DETERMINE  WHAT  QUESTION  HE  GETS NEXT, then you
could use "pointers".   For instance, if  the student  picks
"False"  for  this  question,  then  you may wish to display
question  #  2.   But  is  the  student  picks  "True", then
he should be presented  with question # 3  instead, skipping
over question  #2.   How does  the program  know to do this?
By the use of "pointers".

     A  "pointer"  is  placed  by  THE  TEACHER WHEN YOU ARE
CREATING OR MODIFYING A QUIZ.  A pointer consists of a  pair
of {} brackets, enclosing a question NUMBER.  For  instance,
{10} would  be a  pointer to  question #  10.   Pointers are
placed BEHIND the answer choices as shown below:

     Choice: True {3}
     Choice: False {2}


Edit an existing quiz:

     If  the  user  wishes  to  modify,  change,  or  add  a
question  to  an  existing  .QZ  quiz  file, then select the
"Edit  existing  quiz"  option  from  the  Main  Menu.  This
feature  will  permit  the  user  to  change any question or
answer that had  been previously entered.   If the user  has
dozens or hundreds  of questions in  a .QZ file,  and wishes
to  edit  just  one  question,  but  is  uncertain as to its
position in the file, the user can "list" all the  questions
in the file quickly by  pressing the [L] key. A  pop-up menu
list  will  appear  that  will  list  all  the  questions in
sequential order.  If  more questions exist than  can appear
in the menu, use the cursor control keys to scroll down  the
menu list.  Once the question is located in the menu,  press
[ENTER]  and  that  question  and  its corresponding answers
will be displayed in their  entirety.  Press the [C]  key to
make any necessary "changes".

     Note: Once a question  has been entered as  a "fill-in-
the-blank" type  question, it  is possible  from within  the
program to  convert it  to a  multiple-choice question.   To
make the switch, remove the "_" underscore character.   This
will allow the  user to add  the usual five  possible answer
choices.   You can  also make  the switch  from an  existing
multiple-choice to  a fill-in-the-blank  question by  simply
inserting  an  "_"  underscore  character  anywhere  in  the
question itself.


Quiz printouts:

     There  are  two  ways  to  obtain printed quizzes using
CREATE A QUIZ:

     1) Before taking  an actual quiz,  the user can  select
the "Print  quiz:" choice  from the  "Take/use a  quiz" sub-
menu.  Once  the "Print quiz:"  option is toggled  "ON", all
questions  that  are  displayed  on  the  screen  during the
course  of  the  quiz  will  also  be  echoed  to  a printer
attached  to  port  LPT1:   The  solutions  to these printed
quizzes will appear after every two pages of questions.

     2)  From  the  "Create  a  new quiz" and "Edit existing
quiz" selections  from the  Main Menu,  the user  can  press
the  [P]  key  to  print  a  range  of  questions.  The quiz
creator can  then enter  the beginning  question number  and
the ending question  number.  This  range will then  be sent
to the  printer.   The quiz  creator also  has the option of
displaying  the  correct  answer  on  these printouts, or to
suppress the correct answer.  Correct answers are marked  by
an asterisk symbol "*".


Repeat errors:

     Before taking a quiz,  the user can select  the "Repeat
errors:" option from the "Take/use a quiz" sub- menu.   When
the "Repeat errors:" option is toggled "ON", then  questions
that  have  been  answered  incorrectly  will  be saved into
memory and recalled  at random during  the remainder of  the
quiz session.


Scoreboard:

     When a  user has  finished with  a quiz  and wishes  to
exit to DOS, their score  will be entered into a  scoreboard
file and then displayed on  the screen in a "Top-Ten"  chart
if they  have one  of the  ten best  records for  that quiz.
Each  quiz  that  you  create  has its own scoreboard ".SCB"
file.   For  example,  if  you  have  a student using a quiz
named "MUSIC.QZ"  then the  student's quiz  results will  be
kept in "MUSIC.SCB"  as he finishes  the quiz.   The "*.SCB"
scoreboard files are encrypted to prevent dishonest students
from changing their scores.  To reset a specific  scoreboard
file back to zero, eliminating all player's histories,  just
delete the scoreboard file from the DOS prompt.


Command line options:

     The "command line" refers to what was typed at the  DOS
prompt  before  loading  CREATE  A  QUIZ  into  memory.  For
example, if your CREATE A QUIZ disk is located in drive  A:,
your screen  should display  "A>QUIZ" before  you press  the
[ENTER] key to begin the program.  "A>QUIZ" can be  referred
to as the "command line".

     Additional text  can be  appended to  the command  line
after the key word "QUIZ"  that will instruct CREATE A  QUIZ
to perform certain functions not available through the  menu
selections.

     QUIZ filename.QZ

     If  a  name  of  an  existing  .QZ file is added on the
command line after the key  word "QUIZ", then that .QZ  file
will  be  automatically  read  and  used  to  quiz the user/
student.   In such  cases the  "Main Menu"  will be skipped,
and the student will be  greeted with a prompt to  enter his
name, followed by  the quiz.   In the above  example replace
the word  "filename" with  the actual  name of  the quiz you
wish to  use.   If your  quiz is  called "MATH.QZ"  then you
must  enter  "QUIZ  MATH.QZ"  on  the  command  line  before
running  the  program.   An  example  of  this  command line
option  in  action  can  be  seen  by  using  or viewing the
"QUIZ1.BAT" file on this disk.

     QUIZ filename.QZ RESTRICT

     The  additional  word  "RESTRICT"  on  the command line
will  prevent  the  student/user  from  reaching  the  "Main
Menu".  This  is useful if  you have given  the program disk
to  a  student and have  created a batch  file to force  the
student to use  a particular quiz,  but you do  not want the
student to gain  access to the  "Main Menu" where  he may be
able  to  change  your  questions  or  answers,  or peek and
cheat.

     QUIZ QTY=x

     The above  "QTY=" command  line option  can be  used to
force CREATE  A QUIZ  to stop  and return  to DOS  after "x"
number  of  random  questions  have  been  attempted  by the
student.  You can replace  the "x" with any positive  number
that you wish.  For instance, "QUIZ QTY=2", "quiz  qty=150",
"QUIZ qty=90" are all acceptable command line  instructions.
Do  NOT  forget  to  separate  the  key  word "QUIZ" and the
"QTY=" option with a  space!  If the  user wishes to see  an
example of  a .BAT  file with  this option  at work then see
the "QUIZ2.BAT" file on this disk.

     QUIZ STARTAT=10 STOPAT=20

     The  above  combination  of  "STARTAT="  and  "STOPAT="
commands  instruct  CREATE  A  QUIZ  to  start at a specific
question  number   and  to   display  subsequent   questions
sequentially  (10,  11,  12,...19,  20).   Once  the  number
designated by  "STOPAT=" is  reached, the  program will exit
to  DOS.   If  you   use  "STARTAT="  without  a   "STOPAT="
statement, CREATE A QUIZ  will still proceed with  questions
sequentially  until  the  very  last  question is reach, and
then will terminate to DOS.

     QUIZ TIMEOUT=x

     The above  "TIMEOUT=" command  line option  can be used
to force CREATE A QUIZ to  stop and return to DOS after  "x"
number of minutes have elapsed since the first question  was
attempted by the student.  You can replace the "x" with  any
positive  number  that  you   wish.   For  instance,   "QUIZ
TIMEOUT=5" will cause the program to end after 5 minutes  of
play have elapsed.  An  example of this command line  option
in action can be seen in the "QUIZ3.BAT" file on this disk.

     Command line instructions can be combined or placed  in
any  order.   In  other  words,  the  following command line
instructions are all acceptable:

     QUIZ TIMEOUT=10 QTY=100

     The  command  line  instructions  above  will cause the
program to end after 10 minutes of play have elapsed or  100
random questions have been attempted, whichever comes first.

     QUIZ filename.QZ DISPLAY

     The above command line instructions force CREATE A QUIZ
into a continuous loop  using "filename.QZ".  When  a player
is prompted for his name,  the program will insist that  the
user input his FULL name, AND address, city, state, zip  and
phone  number  before  they  can  participate  in  the  quiz
specified  by  "filename.QZ".   This  "DISPLAY" command line
instruction  (with  .QZ  file)  turns  CREATE A QUIZ into an
excellent  sales  or  promotional  tool  for  businesses and
organizations.  For example,  a company that specializes  in
selling  and  installing  home  water  filters  can create a
"WATER.QZ" file that  presents several questions  that tests
a  prospective  client's  knowledge  of tap water, chlorine,
heavy metals, cost comparisons, etc.   If CREATE A QUIZ  has
been  started  with  the  "WATER.QZ  DISPLAY"  command  line
instructions,  then  WATER.QZ  will  be  presented  to  each
client  that  approaches  the  company's  computer  display.
Each user's  name and  address are  stored in  a file called
"USER.LST".  The "USER.LST" file can later be retrieved  and
used to print  out mailing labels  or possible client  list.
Should you  wonder how  to stop  CREATE A  QUIZ from looping
into eternity  in the  "DISPLAY" mode,  enter "GOODBYE" when
the input window prompts for a user's full name.  Of  course
you  could  reboot  your  computer,  but  that's  not   very
graceful...

     QUIZ NODUPES

     The   command   line   instruction   above when used in
conjunction with  random question  mode will  insure that no
duplicating  questions  will  be  given  to the student.  In
other words,  each question  presented to  the student  will
appear only once (i.e., no duplicates).

     QUIZ ENFORCE QTY=15

     The  command  line  parameter  "ENFORCE" when used with
"STOPAT=" or "STARTAT=" or "QTY=" parameters will prevent  a
student from  exiting the  program/quiz until  the specified
range or quantity of questions have been attempted.

     QUIZ PLAYERS=1

     If you would like to  skip over the "How many  students
are participating?:"  prompt when  your users  begin using a
quiz (particularly when ONLY  ONE USER would ever  be taking
your quiz), then specify  the number of participants  on the
command line  with "PLAYERS=x"  where "x"  is replaced  with
actual number of participants.

     QUIZ SCORELOG=ON

     Since  the  scoreboard  only  records  the  top 10 high
scores, there may be times when your student/user obtains  a
score worth knowing about and  yet falls short of making  it
into the "top  ten" scoreboard.  To maintain a record log of
your  user's  scores  (regardless  of  the  score),  use the
"SCORELOG=ON" parameter.  This  will cause CREATE A  QUIZ to
maintain a file with all user's scores, along with date  and
quiz used.  The file  generated will be straight ASCII  text
and will automatically be named "SCORE.LOG".

     QUIZ SCRAMBLE

     When taking  a multiple  choice quiz,  you will  notice
that  the  "pick  list"  of  possible answer choices appears
exactly in  the same  order as  the answers  were entered by
the teacher  when first  creating that  question.   In other
words, if a multiple choice question exists where...

       Question: How much is 1 + 1?

       Answer: 2
       Answer: 4
       Answer: 6
       Answer: 8
       Answer: 11

...when  your  student  is  present  this  question within a
quiz on the screen,  the order of answers  "2,4,6,8,11" will
be  identical  to  the  order  in  which the teacher entered
them.   If,  however,  you  would  like  to see the order of
answers SCRAMBLED up, then  add the "SCRAMBLE" command  line
parameter when starting QUIZ.  The scramble that will  occur
will vary from moment to  moment, so that if a  question was
to reappear twice, the  order of answers would  be different
from the first appearance.

     QUIZ FIBCHAR=x

The way  CREATE A  QUIZ determines  whether a  question is a
multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank type  is by use of  the
underscore "_" character.  If  an "_" appears in a  question
(anywhere) then that question  is assumed to be  a multiple-
choice type  question.   However, there  are sometimes where
you would  prefer to  have a  different character  determine
this,  therefore  use  the  FIBCHAR=x command line parameter
where  "x"  is  replaced  with  the  actual single character
that will determine whether a question is  fill-in-the-blank
or not.

     QUIZ SCOREALL

The  student  taking  a  quiz  will  be allowed to determine
whether they  want their  scores recorded  to the scoreboard
when they are finished.  If the teacher wishes to  eliminate
this option, forcing the  student's score to be  compared to
the  top  10  scoreboard  instead,  then  add  the  SCOREALL
paramenter.  Although SCOREALL will not guarantee that  your
student's  score  will  be  added  to  the  top  10, it will
guarantee that  the student's  score will  be compared  with
the current scoreboard.  If you want to guarantee that  your
student's score is recorded  to the scoreboard, then  delete
the  *.SCB  scoreboard  file  before  taking  the  quiz.  By
deleting  the  appropriate   *.SCB  scoreboard  file,   your
student's  score   will  definitely   be  recorded   in  the
scoreboard since there  will be no  other scores to  compete
against.

     QUIZ NOREVIEW

When  a  student  takes  a  quiz  in which a multiple-choice
question  is  presented,  the  student  has to select from a
list of possible correct answers.  If the student picks  the
wrong  answer,  the  message  "xyz  IS  INCORRECT!"  At this
point the  student may  still not  know the  correct answer.
Also at this  point an instruction  prompt at the  bottom of
the  screen  offers  the  student  to  reveal the answer (or
review the  choices) by  pressing the  [R] key.   Should the
teacher wish  to withhold  this prompt,  and preventing  the
student from discovering the  correct answer he missed,  add
the NOREVIEW  parameter on  the command  line when  starting
CREATE A QUIZ.

     QUIZ NOOPTS

This  command  line  parameter  will  suppress/withhold  the
"Play Options Menu".   This will  prevent  the  student from
changing  the  question  order,  printout,  or repeat errors
options.   You  canNOT  currently  combine  the  NOOPTS  and
RESTRICT  (see  above)  parameters,   since  some  form   of
introductory menu will always be necessary.


     QUIZ NODOC

This parameter is only  valid with the STUDENT'S  EDITION of
CREATE A QUIZ.   This will prevent  access to the  on-screen
documentation file (what you are currently reading).


Possible conflicts:

     There is a font  file that was distributed  with CREATE
A QUIZ that may give a small number of users some  problems.
The QUIZ.FNT is used with systems running VGA graphics.   If
you do  NOT have  VGA graphics  you may  wish to delete this
file ONLY IF YOU ENCOUNTER VIDEO PROBLEMS.

Shareware and distribution:

     CREATE  A  QUIZ  is  being  distributed  as  shareware.

     Individuals can  make copies  of this  program and pass
them on to friends and acquaintances as long as the  program
is NOT sold  and the concept  of shareware is  made known to
them.   Commercial distributors  and vendors  should contact
the author  BEFORE distributing  CREATE A  QUIZ publicly  IF
THE DATE/TIME  STAMP OF  THE QUIZ.EXE  FILE IS  OVER 2 YEARS
OLD!   Distributors  and  vendors  who  wish  to receive the
latest unregistered version  of CREATE A  QUIZ can do  so by
contacting  the  author  AND  SUBMITTING  A  COPY  OF  THEIR
PRODUCT  CATALOG  or  download  QUIZ*.ZIP  from our BBS (see
below).


Site licenses:

     Businesses,  groups  and  schools  must  obtain  a site
license for CREATE  A QUIZ if  this program will  be used on
more  than  one  personal  computer.   Teachers  who plan on
making more  than one  copy of  their registered  version of
CREATE A QUIZ must likewise obtain a site license.   Contact
the  author  for  more  details.   We  also have a student's
version of CREATE A QUIZ  that can provide a teacher  with a
very  inexpensive  way  of  distributing  (or  even selling)
their on-screen quizzes.  The student's version is a  "lite"
version of the teacher's edition - it does not allow  access
to generating new or changing existing quizzes.

Other programs:

     If you are interested in other programs written by  the
author, an illustrated catalog is  available.  Most  of  our
programs are family or  Bible oriented and very  affordable.
Mail 4 U.S. first class  postage stamps to cover   materials
and shipping to the above   address, and request a  catalog.
If you are registering and wish to receive a catalog,  don't
mail any stamps - the catalog is free IF you ask for one  to
registrants.

     A stripped down version  of CREATE A QUIZ  is available
directly from the  author, and is  intended for use  by your
students.   This  "student's  edition"  of  CREATE A QUIZ is
nearly  identical  to  the  version  that you are now using,
with the exception that the user (student) canNOT create  or
edit any  quizzes.   The   "student's version"  allows   the
user to TAKE an existing quiz generated by you, but that  is
all.  The student's version can be licensed so that you  may
sell or distribute your quizzes royalty free.  This  license
arrangement pertains  only to  the STUDENT'S  version.   The
TEACHER'S version that you currently have (when  registered)
is NOT to be  distributed to others!   If you would like  to
receive a trial copy of the "student's version" contact  the
author, enclosing 6  U.S.  stamps,  and state the  disk size
your computer supports.

     We also have a special version of CREATE A QUIZ that is
used to generate SCANTRON  smart quizzes.  SCANTRON  are the
type of "bubble" format quizzes that you often use with  SAT
style tests.  Again, contact the author if this would be  of
interest to you or your school.
