[comp.sys.mac.apps] Help requested locating a particular application

bchs1a@jetson.uh.edu (12/11/90)

I work for an academic office at the University of Houston.  We were recently
made aware of the need for some sort of a test question manager -- something
that simply keeps a database of test questions, and can make tests and
multiple-version tests.

One of the more specific requests I got was for the test-builder to randomize
the order the questions appear, and provide multiple copies (randomized into
different orders -- presumably if it can randomize at all, manually creating
different tests with the same questions will result in different ordered
versions.)

Anyone ever heard of something like this?  It sounds like a simple enough
program that I would try to write it myself if I had the time, please let me
know if the work has already been done, or if some other application might be
customized to fulfill these needs.

Appreciation for any and all comments and help.

Please respond via E-mail, I'm not very faithful to the newsgroups, and would
hate to miss anything pertinant.
