Educatabase v1.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Copyright 1992,1993 S.Griffiths, All Rights Reserved
Educatabase is a computer based teaching package. It allows multi choice
tests to be created, with a variety of options. The created tests can then
be either printed or a test can be taken on the computer. There are two main
programs, Educater, lets you create and run tests and The Examiner only
allows tests already created to be tested. The shareware version is not
restricted in anyway, except for the reports printed will always have a
header line saying 'Shareware'. This is removed in the registered version.
If you find Educatabase useful and would like to continue using it you can
register it for only $40 (N.Z.) by filling in the form at the end of this
document.
Educatabase offers:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o Up to 100 five line questions each with 5 two line answers
o On-line Help
o Question randomising
o Multi-choices randomising
o Hint lines for each question
o Time limits for each question
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Educatabase is best run from a hard disk however it is possible to use twin
floppy drives. The installation procedure copies the files from the original
disk to the disk where the program will be used, and sets up the colours and
directories etc...
If the Educatabase files are archived then it is simple to create a
directory for the program, and a data directory, and extract the files into
this directory, and place the .EDU files into the data directory. Then all
that has to be done is the EDINST program needs to run to create a config
file, you need to specify the location of the data files. The first time
EDINST is run (with no CFG file) the default colours and settings are used.
If the data directory is not specified then the current directory will be
used.
