NAME
       crtquiz - Quiz-program for the text-terminal or xterm


SYNTAX
       crtquiz [options] [input file]
       crtquiz [-h|--help|/?]


DESCRIPTION
       With  this program you can play a quiz, that's in the akfquiz(5) format
       on the text-terminal or xterm.

       When you enter the input file on the command-line, you may  leave  away
       the  extension  ".akfquiz". If the filename is given without a path and
       the environment-variable QUIZPATH is set, then  the  file  is  searched
       there.

       You can stop the program nearly anywhere with the key Esc.

       The  prompt  ">"  means,  that  it's  a question with just one possible
       answer, while the prompt ">>" indicates a question with more  than  one
       possible  answer. In this case you have to commit your answers with the
       Enter-key.


Options
       -h | --help | /?

       -s      no sound (no beep)


       -d <dir>

              path to the quizfiles.  This parameter overrides the environment
              variable QUIZPATH.

       -OEM    Display has OEM charset (IBM850 or IBM 437)


       -latin1

              Display has Latin 1 charset (ISO 8859-1), or a compatible one


   Printing:
       To  print the questions on a form, you could use the command mkquiz(1).


ENVIRONMENT
       QUIZPATH

              searchpath to the quiz-files.  May be set with the parameter -d.


       LANG     Language.   The  language-setting  in  the quiz-file overrides
              this.  This variable is also used to detect the charset.



       MM_CHARSET

              If set to UTF-8, IBM850, CP850, IBM437 or CP437  and  the  quiz-
              file  doesn't specify an equivalent charset, then a converter is
              activated.

              This variable is just supported on multi-user systems.
