        !            32: \item {\bf Some Notes:}
        !            33: \begin{itemize}
        !            34:     \item  The \LaTeX{} and dvi programs must be properly installed on the host
        !            35:       machine in order for {\sf Quizzer} to format the problem sets. 
        !            36:       See your system administrator for help in installing these programs.  
        !            37:      \item  For a broad range of terminal emulators to be able to access the
        !            38:       system\footnote{by G. Perkins, MSU Physics-Astronomy Dept.}, it is necessary to modify the
        !            39:       {\tt /etc/termcap} file  to accommodate the appropriate vt100 \label{vtEmul}
        !            40:       terminal attributes, including handling non-standard nomenclature used by
        !            41:       terminal emulation programs on Macs and PCs.  A notable example is the widely
        !            42:       used {\it tn} program that is part of FTP Software, Inc.'s PC/TCP package. This
        !            43:       program negotiates its terminal type with the host computer using the prefix
        !            44:       {\tt dec-}
        !            45:       for the {\tt vt} family of terminals ({\it e.g.,} it requests terminal type
        !            46:       {\tt dec-vt100} instead of {\tt vt100}). This prefix, if unknown to the Unix
        !            47:       host, may cause the negotiation to result in an incorrect terminal type or to
        !            48:       fail completely.  
        !            49: \newpage
        !            50:       The line in the standard {\tt /etc/termcap} file that reads: \\ \\
        !            51:       {\tt d0|vt100|vt100-am|vt100am|dec vt100:$\backslash$ } \\ \\
        !            52:        should be edited  to read:\\ \\
        !            53:       {\tt d0|vt100|vt100-am|vt100am|dec-vt100|dec vt100:$\backslash$ } \\ \\
        !            54:       thereby establishing {\tt dec-vt100} as an official synonym for {\tt vt100}.
        !            55:       Note that the ``{\tt dec-vt100}'' entry is different from the ``{\tt dec vt100}''
        !            56:       entry.  We advise adding the new alias rather than changing the existing alias
        !            57:       and possibly causing other problems.
        !            58:       A similar change can be made on other operating systems which use the
        !            59:       {\tt /etc/termcap} method of terminal definition.  Unix systems using the
        !            60:       {\it terminfo} program instead will support similar minor changes to the
        !            61:       appropriate file or files in the {\tt /usr/lib/terminfo} directory tree (consult
        !            62:       your system administrator for details). Be prepared to make similar changes in
        !            63:       case other terminal emulation programs at your site use their own non-standard
        !            64:       terminal type nomenclature.
        !            65:   \end{itemize}
        !            66: 
        !            67: \item  The \capa\ system should now be completely installed.  We recommend 
        !            68: taking the guided tour, skimming through the manual, and reading about the 
        !            69: \capa\ functions before coding problems and building sets.
        !            70:
