Q REVision

Q REVision was sold by Paddy Software as an education revision aid for 'O' level courses

This is a core program which will load in data for any revision subject.

Physics was initially available, with Physics, Chemistry and History soon following. By December 1985, there were 4 modules in total:

• Physics (Q-PHYS) was advertised as containing 89K of raw data in 80 files.
• Chemistry (Q-CHEM) said to cover most of all syllabuses
• History (Q-HIST) covered subjects including Disraeli, the Eastern Question (1874-8), Liberals (1904-14), Salisbury, Parliamentary Reform, Clash with the Lords, Women and the Vote, Trade Unions, and WWI (Western Front, Causes, at Sea, against Turkey and at Home), spread across 111 files.
• French Verbs (Q-VERB) - covering regular, irregular, reflexive verbs. It includes a special line editor which allows accents to be added/changed/removed on screen as you type. Verbs, tenses and persons can each be selected by the user or generated randomly.

The program forces students to revise in a structured manner, by allowing them to zoom in on a particular section of the course.

The program was also supplied with machine code extensions for SuperBASIC giving file handling, screen access and display procedures (presumably used in the QREV program)
