-<h1>Importing "Course Test Manager" files</h1>
-
-<p>Course Test Manager is an "End of Lifetime" software package from Course Technology.
-It is no longer being actively developed by Course Technology. It has been replaced by
-a new test manager called ExamView. However, there has never been a migration path to allow
-this format to be exported from CTM test banks to any other common test format. This is why this
-module has been written.</p>
-
-<p> In order to import questions from CTM, you must have CTM installed on a Windows machine, and
-have access to the MS Access data files on that machine. Two data files are required in order to
-access the data files:</p>
-<ul><li>System.mda - This file is in the top directory of your CTM installation, and is referred to
-in MS access parlance as the "System Database".</li>
-<li>ctm.mdb - this is the database that contains the test bank questions. There is one of these databases
-for each course installed in CTM. It is located in a directory one level below your CTM installation
-directory.</li>
-</ul>
-
-</p>The import process is somewhat different based on whether you're running moodle on Windows or Linux.
-Regardless of what platform moodle is running on, you must have a Windows system (Windows 2000 or Windows XP)
-on the same network as your moodle system in order to host the Access database while importing test banks.</p>
-
-<p>The process is somewhat easier on a <b>Windows-based</b> moodle system. All you need to do to use the CTM import
-class is:</p>
-
-<ol><li>upload the system.mda system database to moodle using the file manager. It doesn't matter what course you
-upload the system.mda file to. Moodle will find it regardless.</li>
-<li>Crete your quiz and go into the "import questions from file" process. Upload your chosen ctm.mdb
-database as the file to import. If you did this correctly, you will see another screen that allows you
-to choose the sub-category of questions to import from the database. The reason this step is here is that
-CTM test banks often contain a large number of categorised questions, based on the chapters of the book or
-sections of the course.</li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>The process on a <b>Linux-based</b> moodle system includes a third-party software component called the
-<a href="http://odbcsock.sourceforge.net/" target="_new"><b>ODBC Socket Server</b></a>. In order to import CTM databases on Linux, you must first download and install
-this small network program on the Windows system that hosts your CTM databases. <b>Do not</b> follow the installation
-steps outlined in the ODBC Socket Server Installation. They're more complicated than they need to be!
-Instead, follow these steps to install this program on your Windows system:</p>
-
-<ol><li>Go to the windows system and unzip the install file you downloaded from
-<a href="http://odbcsock.sourceforge.net/" target="_new">this site</a> on the system.</li>
-<li>Copy the binary ODBCSocketServer.exe to a permanent location, such as your system directory
-(probably C:\WINNT\ or C:\Windows) or your Program Files directory. </li>
-
-<li>Install the ODBC Socket Server as a Service on the system with this command:<br />
-<b><path you copied the file to in the step above>ODBCSocketServer.exe /Service</b><br />
-You may do this by typing this command from Start->Run... dialog, or from a command prompt.</li>
-
-<li>Open the Service Manager by either going to
-Start->Settings->Control Panels->Administrative Tools->Services or by right-clicking on
-<b>My Computer</b>, choosing <b>Manage</b>, then choosing <b>Services and Applications->Services</b> from
-the right panel. You may also access the Service manager by typing <b>services.msc</b> in the Start->Run...
-dialog</li>
-
-<li>In the Service manager, right-click the ODBC Socket Server item and choose the <b>Start</b> item. It's status
-should change to "started" when you do this. Note that you may stop and/or disable this service completely after
-you've completed the import process.</li>
-
-<li>Make sure that the system.mda and ctm.mdb access data files are on the machine,
-and that the MS Access ODBC driver is present. It is installed in a standard Windows installation. You can
-determine if it installed by opening the "Data Sources" item in "Administrative Tools" and referring to the "Drivers"
-tab. You're going to have to determine where CTM is installed and locate the system.mda file and the ctm.mdb database
-or databases you're interested in importing data from. Make note of the full local paths to these files as well
-as the IP address or hostname of the Windows server. You're going to need this information for the import process.</li>
-
-<li>Now you may import the testbank or testbanks into moodle. Crete your quiz and go into the
-"import questions from file" process. <b>NOW HERE'S WHERE THINGS ARE DIFFERENT FOR LINUX - </b>
-YOU MUST SPECIFY A DUMMY FILE IN THE UPLOAD FIELD TO GET THE IMPORT PROCESS STARTED. THIS FILE <b>WILL NOT</b>
-BE PROCESSED, IT'S JUST A PLACEHOLDER FOR THE IMPORT FORM. YOU WILL GET A PLACE TO SPECIFY THE WINDOWS SERVER
-INFORMATION NEXT. Next, you will get a screen where you can type in the hostname for the Windows ODBC Socket Server
-machine as well as the paths to the system and testbank databases. Type in the information you wrote down from the
-previous step here and click "Connect to Server". If everything was set up correctly, you'll get another form to allow
-you to choose the sub-category of questions to import from the database. The reason this step is here is that
-CTM test banks often contain a large number of categorised questions, based on the chapters of the book or
-sections of the course. IF YOU GET TO THIS STEP WITHOUT ERROR MESSAGES, YOU HAVE SET UP THE SOCKET SERVER CORRECTLY
-AND YOU'RE ABOUT TO IMPORT QUESTIONS TO MOODLE!</li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>If you received error messages during this process, you may find this technical information useful.
-The ODBC Socket server uses port 9628 to open a socket and trade and XML query for an XML result table of
-the query results. The import class parses that XML and use it just like I use a local query to do the importing.

-<h2>Course Test Manager</h2>
-
-<p>This module can import questions saved in a Course Test Manager test bank.
-It relies on different ways of accessing the test bank, which is in a Microsoft Access
-database, depending on whether Moodle is running on a Windows or Linux web server.</p>
-<p>On Windows it lets you upload the access database just like any other data import file.</p>
-<p>On Linux, you must set up a windows machine on the same network with the Course Test
-Manager database and a piece of software called the ODBC Socket Server, which uses XML
-to transfer data to moodle on the Linux server.</p>
