Availability of DIAGNOSYS
DIAGNOSYS can be obtained free for unlimited educational use.
DIAGNOSYS v3.56
The full version can be downloaded from this page. The module Mathinput v3.6
is included, which is available free to other
The Windows 95/NT version DIAGNOSYS v3.6 (with Mathinput v3.6) can be downloaded as a self-extracting zip file D3_95zip.exe . This works under Win95, Win98 and WinNT.
You can also download the full user manual userg3_0.doc and the Test design guide tdesign.doc as Word documents. A short document for briefing students usebrief.doc is also available. (All three documents are included in the full zip file above.)
The student version D3_95stu.exe of DIAGNOSYS v3.6 is also available for download and installation on your own PC. This runs the test and the self-test versions, but not the editing, customising and processing options, which are relevant only for group use.
Note that, unless you change the destination folder, it will install to the same folder as any previous version.
For both versions, when they install under Win95, Win98 or WinNT, a program group may appear on the first occasion. To use this again, find the appropriate folder in My Computer or Windows Explorer, probably
c:\windows\start menu\programs\diagnosys
and right-click it to allow you to create a shortcut. This will be placed in
c:\windows\start menu\programs
from which you can drag it to the worktop, and change its title if you wish (right-click and choose `rename`).
