Say: "What is the capitol of Kansas? or What is the cube root of 8? The questions and answers could be in a textfile: #Q #A What is the capitol of Kansas? Topeka What is the cube root of 8? 2 I'm thinking of something very simple that could be expanded over time. Linux has something that's pretty near what I'm aiming for, but it breaks--I'm obviously missing some libraries. After looking for four days I thought I'd ask here. thanks for any clues, gary PS: I could probably knock something out in a half hour using /bin/sh but I'd rather have something more graphic and flexible. -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
