--== The Purity Test 2.2 ==-- I got this purity test some time ago, and put it up on my board, and soon got lots of complaints from it. A lot of the questions were repetitive, confusing, etc... if you lost carrier all your work was lost, you couldnt save your place, and it looked a little sloppy.... So, I borrowed a friends Arexx book, learned what I needed and re-wrote it! I also got some help debugging it when I THOUGHT I had it so it would save when carrier was lost, but Surprise! Thank you King Arthur! It will now give you the option of saving your place when you quit, and it will automatically ask if you want to continue where you left off when you take it again. It will also save your place automatically if you lose carrier. Also included is BETTER version of the questions (simpler, clearer, 500 instead of 400, covers more sick stuff, etc...) I have no idea who originally wrote the program, so I have no idea who to give credit to for writing it. If you have any problems with it, bugs, suggestions, etc, I can be reached on my BBS, The Time Warp BBS, at (404) 325-8476 or on the main C-net BBS, FutureWorld, where I go by the handle, Magister. Thank you! Oh, BTW, its Freeware. Copy it, edit it, mangle it, do what you like with it, but spread it around to other C-net BBSs! (Insert usual 'You screw it up, it's not my fault' discaimer here...) To set up: 1) Well, you already de-compressed the file... duh! 2) If you decompressed it when it was in the directory Cnet, then you should see these new files... Read-Me 3844 (You're reading it!) TimeWarp 1612 (Blantant ad) Gfiles:PurityTest 55971 (The full 500 question test I used) SysText:PurityScore 70 (Results are saved in this file) Pfiles:PurityTest 4763 (The test itsself) Pfiles:Fantasy/End 1477 (Text file upon completion) Instructions 2748 (Self-Explanitory) PurityTest 30450 (The test questions file) /Users/BradMajors 6 (What a partial save looks like) 3) Keep everything just where it is 4) Post 'TimeWarp' on every single board in the state you live in. :> 5) Adopt PurityTest as an Arexx P-file. 6) Adopt the G-file "PurityTest" so your users can download it 7) Add something that will read the PurityScore file for all to see 8) Enjoy! Future possibilities: Fix it so it will save results in a different, cleaner fashion. Maybe use the 1000 question version of the test! Versions: ---------- 1.0-- Since I have no Idea where I got the original program, or who wrote it, Im calling that version 1.0. If you know who did write it, please edit this file to give credit where credit is due! 400 questions : Doesn't save results : Can't save place : All work is lost if carrier is dropped : Questions not all that great... 2.0-- Improved wuite a bit. Better 500 question version of test : Place can be saved if you quit before you are done : automatically saved if carrier dropped : Instructions cleaned up : Saves results to a text file... 2.1-- (Released version) Realized it had some bugs... Grrrr... It now saves your place when carrier is lost (4 seperate checks!) and cleaned up even more. Re-wrote the response-getting routine. Fixed the save and result retrieving routines... A few other things.... 2.2-- Put in a counter when counting up to where you left off. Fixed a bug that saved SAVECOUNT and SAVESCORE if you didnt answer any more questions when continuing from a saved place. Put all the instructions into one file. Cleaned up more. It will save results in PurityScore only if more than 250 questions were answered. Edited the text file slightly. It will now save results (PurityScore) 2 to a line. 3.0-- ????? Improvements anyone?
