Amiga Purity v1.11 by Omar Siddique


WHAT IS PURITY?

   Purity is an automated purity test administrator.  Purity tests, for
those not familiar with them, pose a number of questions (many of which are
sexually oriented) to the answerer to determine how (im)pure the individual is.
The higher the percentage score, the more pure the individual is.

   Purity was designed to eliminate the tedious making hundreds of marks
with a pencil on a piece of paper and then counting them all up that's
necessary with a paper purity test.  Purity was also an exercise for me, as
it was my first program combining Intuition and console functions.

   Purity includes two tests -- one with 500 questions, and one with 1000.
The 500 question version is a modification of the original test and is
primarily sexually oriented.  The 1000 question test has more non-sexual
questions and is a bit sillier.

   While there quite a few varieties and versions of purity tests out there,
I chose to use the 500 and 1000 question variants because I felt these two
are most representative of the tests available.  If there is demand, I'll
consider adding additional tests to Purity.


HOW TO TAKE THE PURITY TEST

   Simply run Purity, and follow the on-screen prompts.  Directions
for individual sections precede the questions for that section, in some cases.
Pay attention to them, so you don't skew your score!

You can quit at any time either from the question prompt, or from the menu.  

The test files (purity500 and purity1000) must be in the current
directory.

DISTRIBUTION, DISCLAIMER, AND COMPATABILITY

   Purity is freely distributable.  However, the binary, documentation, and
data files must be distributed together in their unaltered form.

   The original documentation for the 500 question test is in the file
origpure.doc.  I haven't been able to find anyone that claims responsibility
for the 1000 question test.  :-)

   Purity was written in C on an Amiga 3000/25 and compiled with SAS/C 6.3.
I have only tested it on my Amiga 3000 with Workbench 2.1 and 2.04 ROMs, but 
it should work correctly on any Amiga.  Please let me know if there are any
compatibility problems.

   While Purity has proven stable and problem free, the standard disclaimer
applies; no warranty is expressed or implied, and the author shall not be 
liable for any damage or claims that arise from usage of this program.

VERSION NOTES

1.0     Initial version, STDIO only (not Amiga specific).  Not released.

1.1	Added Amiga Intuition support, basically rewrote the whole thing.

1.11	Argh!  Made a stupid beginner's mistake in 1.1 and used "busy loops"
	that ate an incredible amount of processor power for what little they
	were doing.  Fixed this -- Purity doesn't use so much power now.
