[K12OSN] Re: Exam Generator Programs

[Dave Prentice]

To anybody interested in test generating programs,
    I emailed Pearson Education, the source for the TestGen and
TestWorks programs used for many subject areas. Here is the
correspondence:

>Hi Dave -- We currently have no plans to produce a Linux version, but
I will pass your request on to the >Pearson Education TestGen project
manager to consider for the future. I know that Linux is very popular
in >some areas and in some disciplines, so if we get enough requests,
we might be able to produce a Linux >version. (Tamarack would love to
do this, but we work with Pearson Education and mainly focus on the
most >critical needs for the testing/assessment  market.)
>We appreciate your feedback and will consider it in our overall
development plans.  Thanks.

She said if they get enough requests they might be able to produce a
Linux version. Anybody else interested?
