The other day I discovered a gross bug in the quiz mode of "nobs."
I've fixed it and added a prompt between questions. If you want
version 1.4 of nobs, just send a stamped, addressed E-mail message
to gls@odyssey.att.COM.
In case you do not know what nobs is, here is the "man" page for it:
.de QU
.ie t ``\\$1''\\$2
.el "\\$1"\\$2
