Author's Note
==============

If you want to register the program, use RegisterIt.exe for registration. Use any name and in the serial number field, enter any serial number in this format - @#@#@#@#@#@#@#@# where @ denotes any uppercase character and # denotes any number. For example, A1S2D3F4G5H6J7K8 is a valid serial number.

I have made this program for my college. It was implemented in Notre Dame College IT Festival 2002 at Notre Dame College, Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was used for the IT Quiz Contest of the festival. After its use was finished, I thought why don't I put it in PSC ? Then I furnished it a little and now I'm submitting it into PSC.
