-
- Thanks for trying Exam Bank v.2.0!
-
-
- WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO GET STARTED
-
- All Exam Bank files (including this one) must be located in
- the program directory, or the program will not run.
-
- EXAM BANK must open ten or more files at one time. The
- DOS default allows only eight files open at one time. The number
- of open files allowable may be changed by locating a file called
- (exactly) CONFIG.SYS in the ROOT directory of your BOOT disk
- (Drive A for floppy disk users, or Drive C if you have a hard
- disk. Although some of your software may run without a
- CONFIG.SYS file, one is required for this program.
-
- Modify your CONFIG.SYS file, if necessary, to include the
- line:
- FILES = 15
- (or a larger number)
-
- A CONFIG.SYS file containing only the line 'FILES = 15' is
- included on the EXAM BANK disk for your convenience. If you
- don't have this file on your boot disk, you may copy this
- one to the ROOT directory of your BOOT disk. It is not
- needed in the same directory as the program files.
-
- Your computer's performance may improve if your CONFIG.SYS
- file also contains the line:
-
- BUFFERS=15
-
- although this is not absolutely necessary to run the program.
-
-
- If this is confusing to you, get someone who is comfortable
- with computers to help you set up your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- Reboot your computer after you have made these changes.
-
-
-
- PRINTING A MANUAL
-
- While in the program directory, turn your printer on and
- type PRMANUAL <Enter>. The Exam Bank manual (about
- 30 pages) will be printed.
-
-
- RUNNING THE PROGRAM
-
- You should as a minimum read the "Jump Start" page of
- the manual before running the program. Then, while in the
- program directory, type EB <Enter>.
-
-
-
- REGISTRATION
-
- Show your support for writers of quality shareware programs
- by registering your copy. While in the program directory,
- turn your printer on and type REGISTER <Enter> to print a
- registration form. A fee of $30 is requested from
- individuals who use this program in their work. Schools,
- commercial enterprises, municipal and government agencies
- may register all instructors and staff at one site for $60.
- Site registration includes a complimentary copy of COMBINE,
- the Exam Bank Utility for combining tests for Midterms, Finals,
- etc. School registrations provide the same benefits for
- upgrades and future releases from Education Software.
-
-
- SHARE THE PROGRAM WITH OTHERS
-
- Please share complete copies of Exam Bank with your
- colleagues in the field of education. Copy diskettes for your
- colleagues only from your original distribution diskette. It
- can be confusing to a new user if files described in the
- manual are missing, or if you have changed default settings
- described in the manual.
-
-
- UPGRADING TO VERSION 2.0 FROM VERSIONS 1.0 THROUGH 1.5
-
- This diskette contains Exam Bank V:2.0.
-
- Version 2.0 differs from V:1.5 in that it has freeform
- multiple choice entry (eighteen lines for entering questions
- and answers any way you want, with any number of answers, side
- by side, etc. Only the lines you use will be printed.). It
- also supports forced monochrome mode for laptop owners and
- others who may have a color card driving a monochrome monitor
- (V:2.0 will provide greater screen contrast).
-
- If you are happy with EB as it was, you may continue to use
- V:1.5, however only V:2.0 will receive future upgrades.
-
- Registered users who want to upgrade may order a combination
- package which contains EB V:2.0, a conversion program which
- converts your V:1.x question banks to a form readable by V:2.0,
- and V:2.0 of COMBINE which handles the new format. The complete
- package is only $20. Type REGISTER at the DOS prompt to print
- an order blank.
- Thanks
