I am looking for a simple X program to meet the needs of a test .The requirements of the program are : 1. The environment consists of a 'examiner' and,atmost 10,pairs of 'students'. 2.The examiner decides the pairing between the students.In the sense that he decides who should be paired with who. 3. The program begins with all the pairs being informed that the exam has begun,and of each pair,one student is given a question. 4. The student responds with some text,and this response is sent to , a file,a window on the examiners terminal,and to the other student of the pair.It is now the responsibility of the other student to respond with a text,and again,the process repeats.This change in position of the person(s),who can respond,continues till one of the students answers 'Y' to a question.( I will need to have a different question each time,so,you could leave a variable for that string.) 5.When all the pairs have terminated their sessions,the program should start all over again,with the pairs interchanged,based on some info. in a file set by the examiner. It seems to be a simple program,but I haven't dealt with X,and I don't have much time for this program to be developed and tested. Could any of those 'X-Guru's' help?. Thanks , in advance.
