[net.wanted] info re. test-scoring systems

   A REQUEST TO ACADEMIC COMPUTING SITES:

    We're about to up-date our test scoring service (to run on a VAX)
and need information about available systems, both hard-and-software.
We're familiar with widely advertised stuff, of course, e.g.
Scan-tronics. They and others like them seem more designed for primary
and secondary school use. Does anyone know ready-made stuff designed
more specifically for college use? We don't really want to write our
own stuff again... and very badly need scanning or reading system
which deals as efficiently as possible with the inevitable
ambiguities, such as bad erasures and stray marks.
    Any suggestions, leads, ideas will be much appreciated.
