We hope that, like us, you've had a bug-free introduction to the new year. The next twelve months promises to be an interesting time in the world of computerised testing and assessment. Question Mark will also be playing its part when it comes to changes by launching new products, including the new Enterprise Reporter (ref: Quode Vide 12). Any other new developments will, of course, be brought to you first in Quod Vide. Meanwhile we hope that you continue to find Quod Vide useful and informative. ____________________ 2.

WEBSITE PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGEBASE QUESTION ADDED A new knowledge base question has been uploaded onto the web with information on how to use Perception Server with the O`Reilly WebSite Professional 2.0 webserver. Although most Perception users use IIS, Perception Server should run on any webservers meeting the ISAPI standard. This includes WebSite Professional. WebSite Professional is a non-Microsoft commercial webserver for Windows NT/95/98, now available as an alternative to IIS.
