This disk has three demonstration programs. The WALMYR DISK PROTECTOR
can prevent unauthorized peolple from gaining access to your computer.
Upon boot-up, the program will ask for the password. After three
incorrect attempts, the program sounds an alarm and prompts the user to
turn off the computer. The program is not fool-proof, but is designed
to keep out casual intruders. This demo of the program lists the
password on the opening screen, but it is removed upon registration.
WALMYR PEN PAL lets you conduct private communications with another
person. It can administer questionnaires and interviews, as well as
handle letters. The full version encrypts all correspondence, but in
this demo any person can read all the text files. WALMYR BOOK
MAKER lets you integrate separate ASCII text files into one formatted
and consistently-paged document. In the full version of the program,
the size of the printed document is unlimited. The demo version of this
program is limited to 25 pages.

The WALMYR TEACHING ASSISTANT is for teachers, designed to automate
test taking and grading, and thus reduce the amount of time it takes to
prepare a course. It can prepare random quizzes from a pool of
questions, administer quizzes, and grade each quiz for each student.
You only need write the quiz once, and after that the program takes
over. You can specify the number of times the students may retake a
quiz. The program can prepare final grade reports, let students check
their grades, and print graphs of test scores. It can also display and
print text files, such as lecture notes, course syllabuses, notices,
etc. The teacher has a master disk from which the course format is
designed, while each student's record is kept on his own individual
disk. Grades are collected by having the students turn in their disk
after a number of exams or quizzes are completed. The master disk takes
all data and updates the teacher's records. All records are password-
protected, so a student's records can only be examined by the
teacher and that student.

The WALMYR INDEX OF TEACHING ABILITY analyzes a group of students'
evaluations of the teacher's performance, based upon a questionnaire
that comes with the program. It produces both an actual and adjusted
report. The adjusted report is produced after the program eliminates
students who scored lower or higher than the class average, both on an
item as well as on a total-score basis. The program provides a report
that shows the mean, range, and standard deviation, a count of students
who graded higher or lower than normal, a count of total students who
rated the course, and an estimate of how consistent the data is.

System Requirements: A modem is required for WALMYR PEN PAL and a
printer is optional for WALMYR BOOK MAKER.
