NAME

scrquiz − Quiz-program for the text-terminal or xterm

SYNTAX

scrquiz [options] [input file]
scrquiz [--help|-h|/?]
scrquiz --version

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 | /?

print a short help-message

-s

no sound (no beep)

-d <dir>

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

	-p		run program in an endless loop (for boot-disks)
	-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. It may have more than one directory, just like the variable PATH.

If not set a reasonable default will be used. Check with --help.

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.

Limits

Support of different charsets is very limited.

The program does not support the keywords rtl: and bidi:.

Changing the window size after the start of the program is not supported.
