My programs
I have developed two programs for my own use, but they are being used by other people.
Manyex
Manyex is a program to prepare exams and quizzes using the Tex/LaTex system. From a base of possible questions, and a configuration file that tells the system what type of exams you want to set, you can create different permutations with different questions and the questions permuted within the exams.
