^C^1Home Tutor
^Cby
^CM. D. Smith
This program was originally written for the author's daughter, who is in
fourth grade. It was later expanded into a full program for publication.
HOME TUTOR will input any type of question and allow the user 3 tries to come
up with the correct answer, then it will provide the correct answer. You can use
it to make your own trivia questions and answers to play in a game. Since the
program allows a user to create as many different files of questions and answers
as they wish, it is unlimited in scope. It nicely handles the defaults in
creating or reading the file "HOME.DTA" for someone who never has but one file
to work with or does not want to be bothered with naming files.
Use it for quizzes on any subject: spelling words, history facts, you name
it. There is a sample HOME.DTA file on this disk, that has some questions
about science. Try these as a demo. Later, if you make up your own questions
and use the default to store them to disk (HOME.DTA), it will simply overwrite
this demo file with your own. If you give your data a different filename, then
the demo file (HOME.DTA) will remain intact. A printer option is provided to
let you make a hardcopy of your quizzes. Also HOME TUTOR is completely menu-
driven for all options, and the .DTA file extensions are automatically added on
load and save.
To run this program outside BIG BLUE DISK, type ^1HOMETUTR^0.
