+\subsection{Randomly Selecting Problems Not Selected in Previous
+Documents}
+\label{sec:exprev}
+
+Suppose you have a large set of questions that you want to randomly
+select for assignments and exams. The chances are, you don't want to
+include questions that have been previously set for, say, the last
+three years. That is, you don't want to select questions the
+students may already have seen. As from version 3.03, you can now do
+this.
+
+The \sty{probsoln} package defaults to the UK academic year, which
+starts in September. If this isn't appropriate, you can change it
+using:
+\begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\SetStartMonth}]
+\cs{SetStartMonth}\marg{n}
+\end{definition}
+where \meta{n} is the number of the month. (1 = January, 2 =
+February, etc.)
+
+The \emph{start year} is the calender year in effect when the
+academic year started. For example, if this is the academic year
+2011/12, then the start year is 2011. This is automatically set to
+the start of the current academic year. It is also updated when
+\cs{SetStartMonth} is used.\footnote{So don't use \cs{SetStartMonth}
+after \cs{SetStartYear}.} If you want to set it to a specific year,
+you can use:
+\begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\SetStartYear}]
+\cs{SetStartYear}\marg{year}
+\end{definition}
+For example: \verb|\SetStartYear{2008}| indicates the academic year
+2008/9.
+
+There are two files concerned with previously used labels. They are:
+\begin{description}
+
+ \item[The previously used labels file] This keeps track of all
+ problems used in previous years, as well as problems used by
+ other documents that have this as their previously used labels
+ file, and it contains the problem labels from the last run of
+ the current document.
+
+ \item[The current used labels file] This defaults to
+\cs{jobname}\texttt{.prb}, but the name can be changed using:
+ \begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\SetUsedFileName}]
+ \cs{SetUsedFileName}\marg{name}
+ \end{definition}
+ This file keeps track of all the labels used in the current
+ document from the previous \LaTeX\ run. Note that if you want to
+ delete this file, first clear it using
+ \begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\ClearUsedFile}]
+ \cs{ClearUsedFile}\marg{file}
+ \end{definition}
+ in place of \cs{ExcludePreviousFile}\marg{file}, described below.
+ The argument \meta{file} is the previously used labels file
+ described above. \cs{ClearUsedFile} will remove all labels in
+ the current used labels file from the previously used labels file
+ and clear the current used labels file. Once this file is empty,
+ it may then be deleted.
+
+\end{description}
+
+Before loading randomly selected problems, first specify the
+previously used labels file with the command:
+\begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\ExcludePreviousFile}]
+\cs{ExcludePreviousFile}\oarg{number of years}\marg{file name}
+\end{definition}
+where \meta{file name} is the name of the previously used file. The
+optional argument \meta{number of years} specifies the year cut-off.
+This defaults to 3, which means that only those labels used this
+year or the previous 2 years will be kept. Any problems used before
+then may be reused.
+
+Suppose I'm lecturing a first year undergraduate mathematics course
+(designated, say, mth101). I want to set assignments on each topic
+and an exam at the end of the year (as well as a resit or second
+sitting paper). I've got databases with problems for each topic, but
+the first and second sitting exams mustn't include any of the
+problems used in the assignments or any problems used in assignments
+or exams for the previous two academic years. I'm going to arrange
+my directory structure as follows:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{mth101/}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{assignment1/} (differentiation)
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{assignment1.tex}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{assignment2/} (probability spaces)
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{assignment2.tex}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{assignment3/} (linear algebra)
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{assignment3.tex}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{exams/}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{exam.tex} (first sitting)
+ \item \texttt{resit.tex} (second sitting)
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{databases/}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{differentiation.tex}
+ \item \texttt{probabilityspaces.tex}
+ \item \texttt{linearalgebra.tex}
+ \end{itemize}
+ \item \texttt{previouslabels.tex} (created by \sty{probsoln})
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{itemize}
+

+%\subsection{Randomly Selecting Problems Not Selected in Previous
+%Documents}
+%\label{sec:exprev}
+%
+%Suppose you have a large set of questions that you want to randomly
+%select for assignments and exams. The chances are, you don't want to
+%include questions that have been previously set for, say, the last
+%three years. That is, you don't want to select questions the
+%students may already have seen. As from version 3.03, you can now do
+%this.
+%
+%The \sty{probsoln} package defaults to the UK academic year, which
+%starts in September. If this isn't appropriate, you can change it
+%using:
+%\begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\SetStartMonth}]
+%\cs{SetStartMonth}\marg{n}
+%\end{definition}
+%where \meta{n} is the number of the month. (1 = January, 2 =
+%February, etc.)
+%
+%The \emph{start year} is the calender year in effect when the
+%academic year started. For example, if this is the academic year
+%2011/12, then the start year is 2011. This is automatically set to
+%the start of the current academic year. It is also updated when
+%\cs{SetStartMonth} is used.\footnote{So don't use \cs{SetStartMonth}
+%after \cs{SetStartYear}.} If you want to set it to a specific year,
+%you can use:
+%\begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\SetStartYear}]
+%\cs{SetStartYear}\marg{year}
+%\end{definition}
+%For example: \verb|\SetStartYear{2008}| indicates the academic year
+%2008/9.
+%
+%There are two files concerned with previously used labels. They are:
+%\begin{description}
+%
+% \item[The previously used labels file] This keeps track of all
+% problems used in previous years, as well as problems used by
+% other documents that have this as their previously used labels
+% file, and it contains the problem labels from the last run of
+% the current document.
+%
+% \item[The current used labels file] This defaults to
+%\cs{jobname}\texttt{.prb}, but the name can be changed using:
+% \begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\SetUsedFileName}]
+% \cs{SetUsedFileName}\marg{name}
+% \end{definition}
+% This file keeps track of all the labels used in the current
+% document from the previous \LaTeX\ run. Note that if you want to
+% delete this file, first clear it using
+% \begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\ClearUsedFile}]
+% \cs{ClearUsedFile}\marg{file}
+% \end{definition}
+% in place of \cs{ExcludePreviousFile}\marg{file}, described below.
+% The argument \meta{file} is the previously used labels file
+% described above. \cs{ClearUsedFile} will remove all labels in
+% the current used labels file from the previously used labels file
+% and clear the current used labels file. Once this file is empty,
+% it may then be deleted.
+%
+%\end{description}
+%
+%Before loading randomly selected problems, first specify the
+%previously used labels file with the command:
+%\begin{definition}[\DescribeMacro{\ExcludePreviousFile}]
+%\cs{ExcludePreviousFile}\oarg{number of years}\marg{file name}
+%\end{definition}
+%where \meta{file name} is the name of the previously used file. The
+%optional argument \meta{number of years} specifies the year cut-off.
+%This defaults to 3, which means that only those labels used this
+%year or the previous 2 years will be kept. Any problems used before
+%then may be reused.
+%
+%Suppose I'm lecturing a first year undergraduate mathematics course
+%(designated, say, mth101). I want to set assignments on each topic
+%and an exam at the end of the year (as well as a resit or second
+%sitting paper). I've got databases with problems for each topic, but
+%the first and second sitting exams mustn't include any of the
+%problems used in the assignments or any problems used in assignments
+%or exams for the previous two academic years. I'm going to arrange
+%my directory structure as follows:
+%\begin{itemize}
+%\item \texttt{mth101/}
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{assignment1/} (differentiation)
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{assignment1.tex}
+% \end{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{assignment2/} (probability spaces)
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{assignment2.tex}
+% \end{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{assignment3/} (linear algebra)
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{assignment3.tex}
+% \end{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{exams/}
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{exam.tex} (first sitting)
+% \item \texttt{resit.tex} (second sitting)
+% \end{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{databases/}
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{differentiation.tex}
+% \item \texttt{probabilityspaces.tex}
+% \item \texttt{linearalgebra.tex}
+% \end{itemize}
+% \item \texttt{previouslabels.tex} (created by \sty{probsoln})
+% \end{itemize}
