CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I am looking for a program where I can take information and build a multiple-choice test out of it. Kind of a quiz game, to help me study. If anyone knows how I can do this, or if there are any programs out there (shareware, or commercial) that can help me, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance.

There used to be some quiz programs in the General Applications library here in AmigaUser. I have not checked for them lately, but I suspect some are still there. —Betty

they must have drifted off the libs. I checked through the libs and nothing there, although I did make some remarkable finds for my needs. I really need to go through the libs file by file, someday.

I'm sorry they are gone. Strange, isn't it? With earlier machines – and still with some other platforms – little applications like quiz-makers and the like are very popular items, but on the Amiga they are rarely written, and we have few calls for them. I suspect that the Amiga simply is not being used much for education purposes. Also, such things were often written quickly in BASIC and BASIC is just not used for the Amiga. I do hope you find what you need, for they have been around. —Betty

Betty, I don't need it, Shane Hasert does. I wrote one in dBase ages ago. I wish I had kept the code when I left the Navy.

Brian, I know such a beast exists in at least two incarnations. There's some German program on the FF collection and I believe I had another one from JumpDisk. Also, using a program like HyperBook, one could very easily construct this quiz thing. -Richard

Heck, if you're really intrepid, I believe there's even an Amiga version of the old aged PILOT language floating around on one of the earlier Fish disks.

Hi Shane, I think there is some kind of quiz maker in the AmigaVend forum under the INOVAtronics section. Might be a little old and in need of re-doing, but it's a start. Charles * Thirsk – North Yorkshire – United Kingdom *
