WHAT IS QUESTGEN:
QuestGen (tm) is the Ultimate Questionnaire Generator written for
Remote Access (tm) and QuickBBS (tm) SysOps to add in their configuring
of the individual questionnaires for BBS. This useful utility application
allows SysOps to create questionnaires with ease. Use this program to collect
information from users of your board to make your life in the BBS world more
organized and less aggregating.
SHAREWARE CONCEPT:
ShareWare concept is a great and nobel ideal, being that anyone can
obtain a copy of a program. But with ShareWare you are expected to try out
the program and after thirty (30) days you are expected to register the
program in question. This Idea is not new, but as much as we wish it would
work properly, Everyone knows ShareWare does not make you register. I mean
no Secret Personal Computer Police are going to track you down, and make you
give back the program or pay up. So People will always take advantage of
the good nature of the Programmers. So entered Key Systems, which allows
the user to not register the program and it will still function. But
Registering will clear one's peace of mind, and speed up the QuestGen 2.0.
Registering also gives you the advantage of updates when one is needed.
GETTING STARTED:
A great deal of time was spent on making QuestGen 2.0 as easy
as possible to operate. For this reason we will get right into the actual
program. One thing to remember, you do not need to edit Questgen.Cfg,
that is updated by QuestGen.Exe itself. The first screen that you would
be presented with as an unregistered user would be this product awareness
screen, that reminds you to register.

SETUP:
As a BBS SysOp you will want to make certain changes to the
configuration. Selecting the "SETUP" option in the Main Menu will get you
started.

QuestGen 2.0 ■ RA/QBBS Questionnaire Generator ■ Copyright (C) 1990 RodentWare
PATHS:
Set up the Paths to store the required files. Remember to place
a back slash after the path statement. IE: C:\qbb\
A) The Question-Answer file ("Q-A" extension)
This file is the actual "Q-A" that you will use with
your bbs. IE: C:\RA\
B) The Application Control Generator file ("GEN" extension)
This file is a control file used by QuestGen when writing
and updating a questionnaire. IE: C:\QUESTGEN\
Enter on the appropriate line and make the changes that will apply
to customizing your system. Note: if you do not make these changes the
resulting output files ("Q-A") will have to be moved to the appropriate
directory after you have completed your work.
QuestGen Documentation by Computer Group,Ltd (tm) Page 04
ANSWER MARKOFF:
An Answer Markoff simply put, shows the number of characters
permitted as input in a response field. The Markoffs are shown above the
appropriate space provided for the entry answer. To make changes to the
Answer Markoffs option you must use the <enter> key.
ASK USER BEFORE SAVING:
This option is used if you want to allow the user to decide if their
answers are saved or not. This can be useful if the user has made a mistake
while answering the Questionnaire. Again remember that the <enter> key
will make the change in the status. Choosing this option will subtract one
question from the total number of 20 questions available.
JUSTIFY OUTPUT LABELS:
As a user answers questions, you (the BBS SysOp) have the option of
posting answers as you go (one at a time.) This is not recommended because of
the space saved (in output file) when posting all answers at the end. Justify
Output Labels creates a nice, neat and orderly posting into the "ASW" file.
RUN IN MONOCHROME MODE:
This added support option is for the SysOp who does not use a color
monitor system. The use of this option only effects the SysOps display
monitor. All output text will be displayed in color unless you're running
your system in monochrome.
TEMPORARY SHELL TO DOS:
This option is handy when checking the location of your input files.
Say you previously created a "Gen" based questionnaire, and forgot how you
spelled the name of that Questionnaire. The shell to dos will save you the
time that it would take to un-load the program, check you files, and re-load
the QuestGen.Exe program.
QuestGen Documentation by Computer Group,Ltd (tm) Page 05
QUESTIONNAIRE FILE SELECTION:
The filename selection screen is your next option. You can input
a file name into the line "Load .GEN file as input:". This will be the name
of the questionnaire file you input for edits. Note here that the output file
name will stay as the input file name unless you change it using the "Filename
to save output:" option.
This option give you the chance to take a "GEN" created file and
turn it into another questionnaire. This is a very handy option for those
times when you need another questionnaire but did not want to re-construct
another complete questionnaire. In this case you can start with a file
previously created by QuestGen and create a new questionnaire very similar
to the original.

COLORS OPTION:
Using this option will help to accent your questionnaire by having
the question text in one color, while the Answer Markoffs are another color
and yet a third color for the Markoff Border.

ENTRY OPTION...ACTUAL INPUT:
This is the actual meat of the program. You will be prompted one
question at a time for the following:
QUESTION TEXT: The actual question to be asked.
OUTPUT LABEL: This is the label that is posted to the answer file.
ANSWER LENGTH: The number of characters that you will allow your
questions to be answered in.
This procedure will continue until you have completed your
questionnaire, one question at a time. If you are working a previously
created questionnaire (by QuestGen), you may edit the questionnaire in
this mode. A simple press of <enter> on a line will place you in edit mode.
You then press F1 to insert a question, and F2 to delete a question.
When inserting, question 20 (or 19 if you have 'Ask before Save' on) is killed.
Once deleted, you cannot retrieve the deleted question.
