	The purpose of this posting is to obtain some more information about
	an information bank I am developing.  The testbank, info bank, is to
	be used by other students at the university to help study for tests
	in their classes.  Here are the specs:
	 	1. easily understood interface
		2. capable of displaying tests containing texts and
		illustrations
		3. offers a variety of quick printing options
		4. allows for an update to the bank with recent tests

	I currently have a test version running on a macintosh using hypercard.
	The process of placing the tests into hypercard involves scanning the
	test's text using OmniPage, saving it as a MicroSoft Word document,
	scanning the illustrations, pasting each one individually into the
	document, and then pasting each page of the word document onto my
	cards in the hypercard stack.  This process takes much too long for the
	time I have available after my academic work for the week is done. Also,
	the time it takes to print several tests is too long.  This is based on
	the assumption that the student wishing to print a test does not have
	the time to sit at the computer, but would rather be studying.  The
	macintosh is running off a server which handles 25 other macintoshes
	and prints to a HP Series II.
	Could you please suggest a better implementation of any sort. This could
	include running the testbank on a mac, pc or sun.
