Quiz Master 5.0
Thank you for taking the time to have a look at Quiz Master.
Quiz Master is a labor of love that started back in 1982 and was
first written for FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) exams to
be taken by students in aviation maintenance courses.
As you have already unpacked or unzipped all the Quiz Master
files, be sure you have created a directory called \QM50 for all
your Quiz Master programs, as this path name will match the name
used in the manual. We suggest that before you go any further,
run the DEMO program. The demo program was written to inform and
teach you about how the program works. Type DEMO at the Dos
prompt, press any key to get by the intro screen, and the main
menu will appear. Select each category from top to bottom, and by
the time you reach the bottom you should have a good overview of
the program.
Next, have your printer on line & ready and at the DOS prompt
type MANUAL. The menu will appear allowing you to print the full
menu or each chapter at a time.
Once the manual is printed, please read it it over thoroughly,
it isn't that long because most all the help you will need is
available on screen. After you've read the manual, then start
practicing by printing exams using the sample question bank. See
Section 2.2 "Preparing Quiz Master" in the manual.
To jump right in, not read the manual, and have a look at the
Quiz Master system type QM. Help is available everywhere.
In the Introduction pages of the manual and under the
"Shareware Agreement and Specs" from the Demo Main Menu, is the
definition of Shareware and the amount required to send
Hallandales Inc. for the registry fee. As is it stated,
Shareware is a distribution method which allows us to get paid
for the amount of work we put in to creating Quiz Master.
What do you get in return by registering?
First you get to legally use a really great program, plus
telephone support, notices of updates, and the feeling that
you've helped in the development process of the program.
Most all the features that are now contained in Quiz Master
were included because users like yourselves told us about
their needs. So feel free to write, fax or call about features
you would like added to the program on the next update.
Also by registering you allow us to continue creating other
programs you may need for really low prices. Our next endeavor
is to include graphics images into Quiz Master so diagrams and
pictures can be mixed with the questions, an on screen exam for
student use, and many new programs to work under Windows 3.0.
So, if you like the program, please fill in the order form
and send it to us with payment. We'll send you the most up-to-
date copy of the program, and put you in our computer
system. Remember in order to get phone support you must be
registered.
Note : If you create question banks for Quiz Master we would
appreciate it if you would share your question banks with your
colleages. Your questions banks could also be distributed via
Sharware, and you would get paid for all your work.
The order form can be printed from the DEMO program (select
"Print Order Form"), or it can be copied from Appendix B in the
manual.
