What's New with Version 3.0-3.02
    (release date 10/31/99)     

Thanks! Because of all your suggestions, we have been able to implement the following new features:

1) You can now print in 1-column (print across the width of the test page). This enables you to use questions with large pictures or very long text passages.  The program knows to print them in 1 column format.
FOR BEST RESULTS IN PRINTING 1-COLUMN QUESTIONS MIXED WITH 2-COLUMN QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD USE THE "BEST FIT" OPTION IN THE LIST BOX NEXT TO "ORDER QUESTIONS" IN THE PRINTING SUITE.
These questions have been included in our new databases.

2)  You can change any question from 2-column to 1-column in the Select Question Suite.

3)  In Print Options we have added:
   a) the ability to print all questions in 1-column format.
   b) always print answers vertically rather than side by side as it may do with short answers. This will help the reading challenged student.

4)  We've added greater functionality and formatting for printing the Question Catalogue (if users do not wish to purchase one).

5)  We have added the ability to print out multiple copies of a single test.

6)  Saving exams now recalls short answer questions you made.

7)  Made program Y2K compliant.  Older versions will work but dates on tests users save after 2000 will be 1900.

8)  Added an automatic backup of your database.

9)  Implemented header and footer adjustments for customization of printer options.

10)  Enlarged the viewing area for previewing questions in the Select Question Suite.  This will automatically enlarge with large picture questions but can be manually enlarged by clicking on "Max" button.

11)  Added feature to view questions in the Select Question Suite in reverse order and thereby view from oldest to most recent or vice versa.

12)  Users can now print directly from the Build Test by Using Catalogue screen.

13) Users can now print directly from where they input Question ID's.

General:
* The Wizard can now run over a Network.
* You can display program in graphical or non-graphical mode (Non-graphical mode will make the program run a little faster but screens will not have all of our screen pictures). To access this feature go to top menu bar under File/Features/graphic or non-graphic. The display will change on all subsequent screens and keep this setting until changed.

Printing:
* You can now access the Printing Suite and Preview from the Vault and the Question Reorder Screens.
* Created ability to print a two line first page header. Note: Only top middle header will print on succeeding pages.
* Option for Teacher to put a small underline in front of a question number for student to provide answer i.e. ____ 23.
* Teacher can now start questions in a test from any number.
* Added feature called "Teacher Copy" which will print a replica of the student test immediately following the printing of the student test. Teacher Copy has bold correct answers.
* Test can print on legal size paper (must change your printer settings in control panel)
* Teachers can now print as many different copies as you want from our printing suite. Simply click on "Multiple Copies" after selecting your other printing options in the printing suite. A multiple version box will come up. The Randomization of questions and answers for the first test is selected in the Editing Suite but all additional tests are done by your selection in this box. All options besides "Teacher Copy" selected in the printing suite or print options will apply to all tests. If in the Multiple Version box "Print Version A, B, .." is selected then the left hand footer will be replaced by "Version _".

Miscellaneous:
* Added a question counter to the Make Test by Using Catalogue Screen.
* Also on the above form you can now preview one-at-a-time all the questions on the list. Just click Preview than click Next to go onto the next question. This will display without bold answers and could be used with classroom monitor for going over your test or reviewing purposes.
* Now you can also retrieve an Exam Saved to Disk/Drive from The Vault screen.
* Added ability to save any test's question and answer order. Whenever you save an exam it saves in the order it was last printed. You can save multiple versions by naming differently. i.e. Test 1a, Test1b ..
* Now you can add pictures by their ID number in Picture Edit.
* Now import pictures having the following extensions:.bmp, .gif, .pcx and some .jpg
* You can export a picture directly into any Graphics program for editing.

*Manually Reordering Test questions (from middle window in Summary Wall) has improved: There are now three ways to reorder 1) Drag and Drop your question to where you want it (it will place question above the question you drag it over). 2) Click on question then click lower buttons. 3) Double click on a question and type number you would like it to precede.
* You can access Preview and Print options from this screen as well.
* Also after reordering any one Group Question others of that group can be placed together by clicking the button <Group Question>.

* The program now automatically backs up the question numbers you selected every 4 minutes. So were the program to crash, when you reenter the program it will ask you upon entering the subject you were working in if you would like to restore the old questions. If this does not happen, you can get to the backup when you are in the study by pulling down the "File" Menu and selecting "Restore Last Test".

Bug Fixes: 1) All users should now be able to enter the Editing Suite 2) Program should not close down after printing a test.
