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. ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Q u e s t G e n 2 . 0 ║ ║ ║ ║ Questionnaire Generator for ║ ║ RemoteAccess/QuickBBS ║ ║ ║ ║ Copyright (C) 1990 RodentWare ║ ║ Michael Reece/James Calvert ║ ║ ║ ║ Unregistered Evaluation Version ║ ║ ║ ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ■ press any key to continue ■ QuestGen Documentation by Computer Group,Ltd (tm) Page 02 Followed directly by the screen below, which provides you with the full address on location and author to register the program with.

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.
