echo Welcome to the Groundwater Knowledge Base!
echo.
echo Here are a few easy loading and maintainance procedures:
echo To install the Groundwater Education System:
echo --Type at the prompt the drive letter followed by a colon. (A: <CR>)
echo --Type at the prompt: INSTALL (For 360K drives type INSTALL1 or INSTALL2)
echo To load Groundwater, type at the prompt: KP GRNDWATR
echo --Once loaded, the program is entirely menu driven.
echo --For more instructions, select HYPERMEDIA on the title screen.
echo There are two files that should be regularly maintained to maintain optimum
echo performance of this program. These are ARTICLES.DAT and the article name.
echo --To add an article, add a summary line and a filename line in that order
echo --to the file ARTICLES.DAT. To do this use any simple text editor. Be
echo --sure that you do not add any extra lines after the last filename.
echo --The filename should be in the form 'filename'.'ext'. It is suggested
echo --that you use ART for the extension portion of the filename. The actual
echo --filename is at your discretion. This file is the text of the article
echo --you wish to show when the user selects the above summary line. Again,
echo --any simple text editor will do the job fine for entering the article and
echo --maintaining the file ARTICLES.DAT. If you don't include the filename
echo --and summary statement in this file, Groundwater won't recognize your
echo --article or will have problems if the items aren't in the correct order.

echo Also included with the program is a simple quiz selectable from the menu.
echo The quiz will take the name of the user and record their number wrong,
echo number right, and percent score in a file available to you on the disk.
echo To see this file at any time type at the prompt: TYPE GRADES.DAT
echo The information in the file is quite self-explanatory. The name comes
echo first with their results next.
echo Also, QUIZ.TXT, the file that the quiz program gets its questions and
echo answers from, is available for changing. Here is the correct format for
echo creating a new quiz.
echo EXAMPLE:
echo "The question text." What form of water is this program based upon?
echo "Answer 1." Surface Water
echo "Answer 2." Ice
echo "Answer 3." Groundwater
echo "Answer 4." Hard Water
echo "Correct Answer." Groundwater
echo - Blank Line. -

echo The quiz MUST be 25 questions long. No more. No less. Any deviation
echo from this number, and problems will occur.
echo The "Correct Answer." text must be exactly the same - letter for
echo letter - or the program will count all of the choices as a wrong answer.
echo After the text of the correct answer, the next line MUST be BLANK.
echo If this isn't followed the quiz will not be usable.
echo Again, the file QUIZ.TXT can be edited will any simple text editor.
echo It is recommended that if you wish to change the quiz, first rename
echo the QUIZ.TXT file to something else for an easy reference to the correct
echo format. Then you may simple start from scratch to create your own quiz.
