              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.
