I am looking for some software to manage and create multiple choice
examination questions. The requirements are:
 
 - create, view, and edit examination questions stored in a database
 - search for keywords in multiple database files
 - merge selected questions from several databases into a single "exam"
   database
 - number the questions in the exam database
 - print selected fields of all entries within a database. For example,
   exclude the answer field from the printout.
 - an optional requirement is to randomly select a predefined number of
   questions from a pool of datbase files.
   

Does anyone know of a good source of educational related software that
might have a program that does what I want?

Would such a system be well suited for a hypercard implementation?

Thanks.

david
