Program Title:  WIZQUIZ and JEM
PC-SIG Version 1.2
 
WIZQUIZ is an educational program which brings up randomly-generated
problems covering a wide area of the average elementary school
mathematics curriculum.  Problems cover addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division, lowest common denominator, greatest common
factor, simple and advanced fractions, decimals and percents, and
reciprocals.
 
Each type of problem has ten levels, and each level has a target score
determined by the number of errors and the time it takes to solve ten
problems.  Since WIZQUIZ asks for and remembers a player's age, it
restricts access to easier problems by age.  After each set of ten
problems the program calculates the new average, checks the score
against the best ever and the player's own previous best performance,
and announces the score.  WIZQUIZ keeps a separate record for each
player's best score and averages.  Each record is password-protected,
but there is a "super wizard's" password that lets anyone look at
anybody's scores.  WIZQUIZ is a program that can be used both at home
for personal studying and at school in the classroom.
 
JEM LOGO was written to teach children the basics of computer
programming.  It is a very simple programming language that teaches
children the logic associated with a computer and how you can combine
commands to carry out complex tasks.  JEM has three basic modes: Help,
Explain, and Run. The first mode you see is Run, when the Logos are
displayed.  If you type in HELP, you see four pages of text, giving a
brief description of the Logo or word you asked for help with.
 
JEM has two types of words: Primary and Secondary.  Primary words are
the base of JEM, and the secondary words are created out of primary
words.  Primary words are the simplest commands used by JEM. The most
important words to the beginner are HELP and END. HELP displays the
help, while END saves the file and exits.  Secondary words are the way
you program the turtle to do higher functions.  They may be any
combination of primary words and secondary words.
