CENTRAL STATE UNIVERSITY
Drill and Practice CAI Testing System

Implementation Instructions

The Central State University Drill and Practice Computer Assisted
Instruction Package provides the student with the capability of
taking (multiple) ten item multiple choice tests. Questions are
selected at random from a question pool. Each time a question
appears, the order of the answers is randomized. This effective-
ly increases the size of the question pool and, hopefully, minim-
izes memorization of answers.

The system is designed to run on a DEC RSTS/E timesharing system,
version 6C or later.

Program Installation

The documentation assumes that all programs are stored in a li-
brary referenced by LIB:. TSTMNT, TSTPAK, TSTUPD, and TSTANS
should be compiled into LIB: and assigned a protection code of
<104>. TSTINT should be compiled into LIB: and assigned a pro-
tection code of <124>. TSTBSE and TSTAPP should be stored in
source form and assigned a protection code of <60>.

Files

All files referenced by these programs are assumed stored on
CSU:. The user may either add a system wide logical (CSU:) to
reference the disk upon which the files are stored, or may change
the variable LDN$ in all of the programs.
