- General Description
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- CourseMaster is a powerful authoring system and development tool
- for creating computer-based training, simulations, prototypes and
- interactive video programs. It is neither a menu-driven system nor
- a programming language, but a system of pre-programmed templates
- and utilities that enable an instructional designer or author with
- no programming skills to create sophisticated interactive training
- courses and simulations.
-
- With CourseMaster, an author writes each screen in the lesson using
- any word processor capable of creating an ASCII file. The program
- is then compiled. PCX graphics can be displayed and external calls
- enable the trainee to run another program from within the lesson.
- Sophisticated contingency branching, answer-judging, multiple paths,
- scoring, network support and extensive documentation provide a
- feature-rich system for the experienced instructional designer.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- CourseMaster is a shareware program and is provided at no charge to
- the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends,
- but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system.
- The essence of user-supported software is to provide personal
- computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to
- provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products.
- If you find this program useful and find that you are using Course-
- Master and continue to use CourseMaster after a reasonable trial
- period, you are honor-bound make the registration payment indicated
- on the attached registration form. The registration fee will license
- one copy for use on any one computer at any one time.
-
- You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this
- software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved
- from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibil-
- ity of it being used at one location while it's being used at another.
- Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.
-
- Commercial users of CourseMaster must register and pay for their copies
- of CourseMaster within 30 days of first use or their license is with-
- drawn. Site-license arrangements may be made by contacting InterDigital.
-
- Anyone distributing CourseMaster for any kind of remuneration must first
- contact InterDigital at the address above for authorization. This author-
- ization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the
