+The thorshammer Package
+Author: D. P. Story
+Dated: 2020-01-13
+
+WARNING: Adobe Acrobat DC or Adobe Acrobat XI is required for
+post PDF-creation. Any PDF-creator application is supported.
+
+This package implements an idea by Thorsten G. for assessment
+using PDF quizzes produced by the exerquiz package. Thorsten not
+only wanted to pose multiple choice, multiple selection, and
+fill-in type questions, but also wanted to ask extended response
+questions that would be manually evaluated. Once the quiz is
+graded, the instructor may optionally pass the quizzes through
+an Acrobat action sequence to extract the student's name and
+grade from the quizzes. The extracted information is saved to a
+tab-delimited TXT file. The instructor can later merge this file
+into a larger spreadsheet.
+
+Note: Unzip action-sequences.zip to obtain the action-sequences folder.
+
+If intriguing, install thorshammer and try this workflow.
+
+Enjoy!
+
+Now, I must get back to my retirement.
