  Would you like to know how "pure" you are, but don't want to sit down with
a pen and paper and take the test?  Or would you like to quickly figure it
out without taking a lot of time?  Then this program is for you!

DISCLAIMER

  I will not be held responsible for any misfortune that arises from use
of this program including, but not limited to, people laughing at you for
having a high score, the resulting psyciatrist bill, the mental institution
bill, medication, etc. *grin*  Seriously though, if this program somehow
manages to mutate and eat your computer, it wasn't my fault ;)

BACKGROUND

  I got the idea to write this program while at work.  We have the most
peculiar conversations there, and one day last week, the topic was the
Purity Test.  Most of the people there didn't know what it was, but a
couple of us did, so we explained it.  And while discussing it, I thought
that making the program automated so there was no paper or anything would
be a great idea.  And here it is, the Automated Purity Test! (APT)

JUST WHAT *IS* THIS PURITY TEST THING?

  The Purity Test is a way to judge how "pure" and clean you are.  It asks
VERY personal questions (have you ever masterbated?  Ever had sex in church?)
and based on your answers (either yes or no) the program tells you how pure
you are.  It's usually more fun when you take it with other people, but if
you just want the knowledge for yourself, that's fine too.

PROGRAM STUFF

  This program gives you the option in the beginning to "hide" your answers.
If you choose this option, ALL of your answers will be printed out as a
green X.  If you don't care if people see them, it will be either a Y or an N.
  Another useful feature of this program is the ability to have 1-9 people
take the test simutaneously.  This way, you only have to run the program
once, and everybody's results will be shown at the end.
  Also, the things on the screen are color coded.  The purple characters are
what number question you're on, the white text is the actual question, while
the green character is your answer (or an X).  Also, as you go from section
to section, instructions and definitions will be shown to you in red.

PURITY TEST STUFF

  As much as I might like to take credit for writing the actual test, I can't
say that I did.  Here are the credits:

Version 4.0 (500) on 23-April-1988: Yale (Silliman College)/dfc, ad, dcg, mlm,
                and Dartmouth (Alpha Theta)/alb.  Original 400-question version
                expanded to 500 questions.

CONTACTING THE AUTHOR OF THE APT

  I'd love to hear from anyone who uses this program either via e-mail or
snail mail.  There is no cost to use this program (although if you do like
it, I wouldn't mind a small donation.  You know, 50 cents for some Pepsi (tm),
$1.00 so I can ride the bus home, $2000 so I can buy a new computer ;).
However, if you want a different purity test automated, I would really 
appreciate it if you sent me $5 - $10, plus a copy of the test you want
automated (electronically only, via disk or email).  If you do this, I'll
(e)mail you the test back along with the newest version of the Automated
Purity Test.

The 2 ways to contact me are:
  (1) Email:  My address is:  whit8275@mary.cs.fredonia.edu
      When you email me, please put "PURITY TEST" as the subject, all in
      caps so I don't miss it (I'm on too many mailing lists ;)

  (2) Snail Mail:  Mail me at:
                       Christopher White
		       3033 James Ave S #101
                       Minneapolis, MN  55408

"MAY I COPY THIS PROGRAM AND GIVE IT TO MY OTHER FRIENDS?"

  Sure!  In fact, I would encourage you to!  However, please don't change
anything when you do give it away.  Leave the readme and purity test file
unchanged.  Other than that though, distribute this program anywhere you
want!  The more people who get ahold of this program means the more people
who can leave me feedback as to what they'd like to see in a future 
version :)

ENDING

  I hope you enjoy using the Automated Purity Test.  If you use it (even
once!) please at least email me on the net or send me a short letter.  I'd
love to hear from you!  Have fun!
